It looks like CS Lewis’ classic series of books, The Narnia Chronicles are being rebooted for the big screen…
And confusingly it will start with the fourth book in the series, The Silver Chair. Adding to the confusion, it has been confirmed this IS a reboot despite following the three previous live-action movies 2005’s The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, 2008’s Prince Caspian and 2010’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
We’re confused.
Sony-based TriStar Pictures is joining The Mark Gordon Company, The C.S. Lewis Company, and Entertainment One (eOne) to make The Silver Chair. The film will be financed by TriStar, eOne and The Mark Gordon Company with Sony and eOne distributing the picture. Mark Gordon, C.S. Lewis’ stepson Douglas Gresham, Vincent Sieber, and Melvin Adams will produce the film. Life Of Pi and Finding Neverland scribe David Magee was already writing the script.
“Developing this project with The C.S. Lewis Company has been immensely exciting and a real joy. We are so pleased to team up with our good friends at TriStar and our partners at eOne to introduce this new, magical chapter of the Narnia franchise to fans around the world, both old and new,” said Gordon.
It’s odd starting off again with the fourth book after three other movies, but there it is.
Do you want another version of Narnia on the big screen? Let us know…
