Having put 2004 behind us, now it's time to move on to this year's upcoming movies. Next Christmas, the same effects studio that worked on Lord of the Rings (WETA in New Zealand) is bringing C. S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe to the screen. I'm sure this project only got the greenlight once the movie studios started seeing how much cash LOTR brought in, but I'm curious to see what they do with The Chronicles of Narnia. These books always had a different feeling from LOTR due to the strong Christian themes running throughout, but there are a lot of similarities (partly due to Lewis and Tolkien being friends who regularly critiqued each other's work). So far, it looks like it will be good. Check out a preview here.
