Narnia

[Dive]

Obviously not released yet, but there remaking the Narnia films! I think this is cool for many reason, mainly cos its a Christian book. Think they've got a poll over at the Narnia forums about who should play Aslan. A couple of suggestions they've come up with so far:

Christoper Lee
Sean Connery (NO WAY)
Patick Stuart (sp)
Micheal Dorn
The Guy who played Jesus in the Passion

Now, I dont know i he voice would match, but the conection would be cool if they go the guy from the Passion to play Aslan.

What do the rest of you think.

James Earl Jones must be Aslan. He has extensive experience in voice-acting a lion (remember Lion King? ) and he has the perfect voice for it.

Anyone know if they are planning to make all seven movies?

Who was that......Mufasa? If so, he'd have the perfect voice. He also played Darth Vader (the voice) I think.

As far as I know, they plan to make more than just the one, but officially there currently only doing the one. I'll find out more and tell you later!!

For the role of Mrs. Beaver, they'v cast Dawn French. Now I dont know about you, but I think shes going to be PERFECT!!

I own some of the Narnia movies. The ones that the BBC put out, and they had put out three. I would enjoy seeing The Last Battle as a movie though.

I'm really excited about this film, but I can't get over the feeling that Hollywood is going to go and mess-up a perfectly good book...again.

Do you mean they get in a big lion suit?

Ahh, when I read about this a few months ago I was so excited!!! Last I read they were planning to make all 7, which has me very, very excited, because I'm such a C.S. Lewis junkie, and the current Chronicles movies do the books no justice at all

I sure can't wait until it finally comes out. A lot of the things I've been hearing about the movie sound promising. It sounds like it won't mess up the books too badly. Everyone they've cast so far seems like they'll fit the roles well. They haven't announced Aslan yet, though. I'm just so excited to go and see it!

Yeah, the books were rereleased as short children's books recently and they slashed the biblical references to make it just another fantasy series of books. Don't get me wrong, I like fantasy books, but to destroy a great series...
