Just in case any of you might have forgotten, C.S. Lewis' classic series The Chronicles of Narnia is being made into a live action film series set to be released over the next several years. Up first is The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The first movie trailers should start appearing sometime in April with the film scheduled to open on December 9th of this year. Purists do not fret: the movies are being co-produced by a stepson of Lewis himself and he promises that the allegorical references and inter-woven Christian themes will remain intact. This is good news to those who had concern over Disney's involvement, which is thankfully limited to distrubution rights only. Oh, and for those of you not familiar with the story the picture above is artwork from the movie depicting the Christ figure Aslan, not Mufasa. Shame on you for thinking otherwise. Go immediately and pick up these books from Amazon!
