I was wondering, who plays the part of Aslan? He sounds very similar to Liam Neeson!
The previews so far have been very promising (judging by the chills down my spine ). This is my most anticipated winter release!

According to IMDB it is Liam Neeson and I was thinking it was Patrick Stewart.

I agree, this looks like it's going to be the best release the season (it's Spring/Summer in NZ).

So many questions that I see on these forums can be answered by looking at this page:

My question cannot. It is "Why don't people read the pages of UD?"

Luke, I did read the page, months ago. It must have slipped my mind. I read most of what UD has to offer.

That's good to hear. From what I see around the forum, that makes you a rarity!

Narniaweb.com have confirmed with their movie sources the final running time for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be 2 hours, 10 minutes.
Seems like a good time since the book is so short and the battle is about 2 pages long.

That's great to hear. I was afraid Disney would trim it to make it more family-friendly. Then again, who said more is better?

I haven't seen anything yet concerning the film. So let this be a discussion on anything about the film.

I haven't watched the BBC version of Narnia. But I've read the first three books back in elementry school and was hoping that one day they would make them into films. (Twenty years later) So this is a film I am anxious to see.

well, it`s a LOTR-like film I think, considering that the author was a friend of Tolkien(or at least that`s what it said on the back of the books )
Do you think that Disney will do a good work with the battle sequences?

Well being a PG film it's probably not going to be as violent as POTC or LOTR. I'm thinking it's going to be as good as POTC if not better.

comparable, but not better than LOTR
Remember thaan a baattle sequence the graphics and the fight itself isn`t all, but also the music and at leats the music showd on the soundtrack is way no fight soundtrack

I`ll have to watch it, by the way, when is the opening date?

It opens in the United States on December 9th. That's pretty close..3 weeks, I believe.

I remember watching the BBC version a lot when I was a kid. I never read the books, though.

I wish they'd considered making The Magician's Nephew a movie first. Although not written first, it does take place before all the other stories and it was one of the more interesting books in the series, as it played with the idea of a Multiverse and parallel universes.

This movie is getting good word-of-mouth at my work. I'm curious to see it,too. Do I possibly smell Lord of the Rings success perhaps?

Or how about they make the movie "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardorbe" but make a little introduction at the beginning that explains "The Magician's Nephew". Something similar to what they did in "The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring".

As for the movie, I'm definetely interested in seeing it, but I kinda hoped it would get Disney's 2nd PG-13 rating, just so teenagers don't say, "Oh this is PG, I don't want to see it, lets see a PG-13 one instead!":roll:

But either way, it's bound to be a hit! Lets hope this, or Pirates 2, beats Titanic at B.O. (which sadly will most likely not happen)

do you think that in order to success on the B.O. the critics would be an important part?

I mean, it have the Disney logo printed on big letters, what will make some parents think "Is Dsney=is for all family" but then they`ll see that`s is a possible PG or PG-13 and they might doubt on watching it, or many teens wouldn`t watch it because is a PG and they rather like Doom?

--are those questions clear? because now that I read them I feel dizzy ---

Oh yeah I fogot that Doom is coming out... gotta watch that.

And yes it's coming out December 9. Last unofficial day of school.

Any teenager who won't see a movie because it's rated PG deserves to miss out on great things.
