I just went to movietickets.com and I saw a listing for a movie about the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I was kinda shocked, since I hadn't heard anything about it. Also, Ruper Everett was the only name connected with it that I recognized.
I loved the books and hope that the movie is good, but I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about it....

Yep, it was announced ahwile ago and will be in theaters Dec. 2005.
LWW is currently in production in New Zealand. The helpful folks behind www.theonering.net have developed a sub-site for the upcoming Narnia movie[s]. www.theonelion.net
They have full details and filmographies for several cast members.
And here's a bit from their summary.
quote: Walden Media has taken on the project of turning C. S. Lewis's beloved childrens books, the Narnia Chronicles, into a series of films. They have the support of Disney, who are co-financing and distributing the films. The release date for the first film is December 9, 2005 in the US. Release dates in other Western countries seem to follow on closely within the month of December, as far as we can see at present.
The director is Andrew Adamson, most famous to date for his work on the direction and screenplays of Shrek and Shrek 2.
The Pevensie children are played by four British child actors.
Adamson is executive producer; one of the co-producers is Douglas Gresham, stepson of C. S Lewis. This would argue that the films will be made with respect for Lewis' words and probably also Lewis' Christian beliefs. Gresham is himself a strong Christian.
Digital effects are being handled by Sony Imageworks and Rhythm&Hues
...
LOTR fans will recognise many of the LOTR family in Narnia. Richard Taylor and his Weta workshops are building a lot of the armour, prosthetics, sets and costumes. Adamson and Peter Jackson know each other - Adamson helped out on one of Jackson's films, pre-LOTR. Some of the little people who worked as hobbit stunt doubles are acting as dwarfs in this movie, and a number of Kiwi actors and stuntmen have moved out of Middle-earth and into Narnia.

Don't feel too bad. When I first read the Narnia books, I totally missed all the Jesus stuff. In fact, it wasn't until 2 years ago when I heard someone spell out all the similarities that I was like, "That's about Jesus?!"

quote:C.S. Lewis held what he believed to be the intellectual's position: that religious faith was only for uneducated, unthinking people. He had his mind changed by facts of his own discovery.
It was in 1929 that CS Lewis, the renowned Oxford professor, had his atheism greatly shaken while listening to an atheist friend acknowledge evidence that pointed to the historicity of the Gospel accounts. "It almost looks as if it really happened once," his friend told him. Through a combination of events that year, Lewis was 'converted'-- not to Christianity, but to theism. After narrowing his choices to Hinduism and Christianity, he began using his knowledge of languages and literature to make a stude of the Bible, beginning with a daily reading of John's gospel in the original Greek. Lewis was amazed, later writing: "I have been reading poem, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this."
