Director Change for "Narnia 3"

If they could change the kid actors too that would be ok with me.

Agreed. There performances had as much life and expression as a boulder.

But the new director raises my hope for the series.

[b]How long are they gonna take this?[/b]
Not all the books involve the pevensie children. The next 3 is gonna be hard sellers without the children IMO.

But I still hope all books are made into film.

Screw the children!
Rate the movies PG13 and distribute it "family" crap POC2&3 were.
(Weird how POC1 wasn't marketed that way)

Anyways Disney is so comfortable with 3 PG13's, why not carry them out?

WHY NOT HAVE PIXAR MAKE AN R-RATED FILM?

Uhhh... the next three do involve them, however. Or, at least, in some form or another. They return as children in Prince Caspian (albeit several thousand years later, when their own exploits are legend); again as children (though two of them only) in Dawn Treader. And they are also in The Horse and his Boy which, really, should be between the first one and Prince Caspian, though I'm not sure when (or if) they'll make it. Though in that one they are adults, and their appearances are not as main characters.

Actually, it is that one I'd most want to see of all, along with the 'first' one (ie. the one technically before The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, which is The Magician's Nephew.) For those that don't know, The Horse and His Boy follows a boy and a girl from the southern kingdom of Calormen who are trying to flee into Narnia. What is interesting is that the Pevensie children appear not as primary characters but rather as cameos, the famous rulers of the distant kingdom of Narnia.

The Magician's Nephew, however, would be yet more interesting, as it is essentially a prequel, and follows the Professor in his youth (after all, that 'try me' at the end of the movie when he asks about what they've been doing isn't just a kind comment...) It follows him and his adventures after he has a run in with his mad uncle and essentially shows the origins of many things, including Narnia, and the White Witch, the latter how she comes to be, having been Jadis, a mighty sorceress-empress in the ruined city of Charn in another world. That, I think, would be best of all the seven books. However, I somehow think that it won't be made, unfortunately.

I didn't even know they were making a second one.... oops.

That's because it has taken about what, ten years to make the second one?

And Harry Potter is shitting out a new movie almost every 8 months!

I actually like the Narnia Series better then the Harry Potter series.

Good. I hated the first one. Hopefully the second one isn't too bad, and the third one now has more potential.

I think the Harry Potter movie series is impressive in its constant quality, but to tell you the truth, I've usually wanted them to be over about 30 to 40 minutes before they actually are.The first Narnia movie had more flaws, and the Narnia books are simpler plot wise anyway, but I loved the after taste it gave me even for days (while i forgot hp the moment I got out of theaters, I actually needed a rest from them; while I craved for staying "in narnia" even days after seeing it).

The source material seems to be deceptively simpler for Narnia, but it has an extra substance that I don't see in Harry Potter. HP seems like only a gettaway, while Narnia is a challenging gettaway. Maybe, kids in Narnia are way more imperfect than the heroic teen figures in HP; you relate to the former in a way that challenges you about your own strenghts and weakneses, about how you would react in such circumstances where both universal virtue and weakness, which we can find deep in ourselves, are presented instead of the more simplehearted "the hero ends up doing what is both exciting and also good, so I guess I would have also". Anyway, the bottom line is that even when it comes to only the movies, I prefer the first Narnia than any Harry Potter to date.
