The Next Narnia Film - My Theories


Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but here are my theories on what the next Narnia films could be. They COULD be watched / read in any order, really, but that would make them a bit trickier to follow (Caspian should follow LW&W, for example). Anyway, here goes...

option a) The Silver Chair. Walden Media continues the trend of adapting the books in the order they were published. Naturally, This one is next.

option b) Magician's Nephew. This has been mentioned a couple times by some exec (I forget who specifically) as being the next film. Sure it's not in any order to follow Dawn Treader with Magician's Nephew. However, it COULD work and here's why:

The Penseive 'Trilogy' is now over (Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspain, Dawn Treader). By having Magician's Nephew next, it sort of serves as a reboot of the series. This works because we don't have to worry about the aging of Will Poulter for Silver Chair, and other factors.
Also, with Harry Potter ending in less than a month, fantasy fans will turn to other cinema options for their fix. With a kind of 'reboot', they can hop right into Narnia, mid-series if those chose to. In that sense, the timing works well.

Following Magician's Nephew would be Horse and His Boy, then Silver Chair, and finally The Last Battle (seeing as the last two I mentioned are slightly 'linked' and not a 'one shot' the way Horse and His Boy is, it would make sense to group them together.

I understand if this was a bit wordy, but I hope you were able to follow what I was trying to get across....thoughts?
