Another 'Narnia' Movie Based on The Magician's Nephew

Walden Media is talking to Fox about making another Narnia movie and if they do, it'll be based on Magician's Nephew which is a prequel to all the stories already released.  As you know the last one was the third installment called The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which didn't do particularly well at the box office.

The last Narnia movie didn't meet expectations but still did $104 million domestic.  How many films can have a bad opening and do over $100 million?  Not many.  It also made a whopping $300 million at the international box office.

So, yes they will release Chronicles of Narnia: Magician's Nephew which is one of the worst novels by C.S. Lewis.  I always say, we vote with our dollars.

Fearless Forecast: 'The Chronicles of Narnia' Sails to the Top Spot

This weekend features two major release films in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Tourist.  Opening at 3,555 theaters nationwide, Chronicles of Narnia is a shoo-in for the top spot attracting all ages.

If you remember, the last installment, Prince Caspian opened at $55 million.  However, the buzz on this film just doesn't feel right.  Also, the series has been trending downward in social media figures and sales.  Couple that with the fact that we're just coming off the worst November month in 15 years, this installment of Narnia is headed to become the worst grossing movie of the franchise.

Movie Review: 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Starring Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Ben Barnes Directed by Michael Apted Rated PG

I can't help but feel nostalgic whenever I see a movie based on one of the Narnia books. Even more so than Lord of the Rings, both which I read as a child, these movies really take me back. I need to make time to re-read the books, if only to see how true the movies are to the books, and to see if the special effects out-do my imagination.

In The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, we find Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes) living with their spoiled and selfish cousin, Eustace (Will Poulter). It goes without saying that they hate it there, which only makes them long for Narnia even more. During an argument between Edmund and Eustace, Lucy notices a painting of a ship in the ocean coming to life, and the trio are whisked back to Narnia.

They are rescued from the sea by their old friend Caspian (Ben Barnes), and are recruited into his quest to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia, especially their swords. In their journey, we are treated to several locations; a city under control of slavers, an island of invisible foes, a volcanic land filled with gold. The visuals and effects are breathtaking, and being in the sea really benefits from 3D.

New International Trailer for 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader'

When The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was released back in 2005, I felt like a little kid again. I read and reread the books many times, and it was great being able to see it come alive on the big screen. Must be how all those Harry Potter fans feel. Good books and movies, just didn't stir up old childhood memories watching the movies.
