The Lion's Call: "Douglas Gresham Talks About the Future of the Narnia Movies"
From The Lion’s Call:
In a recent talk given in Oxford, Douglas Gresham was questioned on the future of the Narnia films. He seems very keen to continue having them made but mentioned a seven year moratorium on producing any new Narnia films if they are not made by Walden Studios. The purpose of the moratorium seems to be to “prevent them using anything from the Walden films,” though I’m not exactly sure what he meant by that. He said he may have them made independently, enabling him to have a full say on everything that goes into the script. He spoke specifically about The Silver Chair, indicating quite clearly that he wants to see it made next rather than The Magician’s Nephew.He also said he would like to see Andrew Adamson taking on a directing role again. In the meantime, work is going ahead for a film adaptation of The Screwtape Letters. When asked if The Space Trilogy would ever be made into films, he said something to the effect of “find me a billionaire with really deep pockets and I’ll get them made.”
A seven-year moratorium on future films = 2018!
