Talk:The Chronicles of Narnia (film series)

message: What are the Wings TEC Critics Awards?  Do they really exist?  I couldn't find them with a quick google search.  And shouldn't they, like all the other awards, be mentioned on the page for the specific movie rather than the series?Eluchil404 03:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I came to the discussion page wondering the same thing myself.  I run a Narnia fan site and have heard nothing of the sort myself.  Can anyone shed any light on this?  In the meantime, I've moved it to the page about the film, and reformatted it so that it fits. --LuminousSpecter 04:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Stub?

message: Should it also be said that many people read Narnia and didn't read Nephew, thus making more movie buisiness for the studio?
: Only if we can find a source for it.  It's logical but WP:NOR and my impression is that LWW was really a personal/emotional choice for the produces and director rather than a cold blooded marketing decision.  Eluchil404 04:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: LWW was the first written, and first published. MN came much later. It wasn't until the 1980s that they reorder the books chronologically. It's pretty much common knowledge for Narnia fans and anyone older then 40.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrfoldes (talk • contribs) 03:36, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The nearly impossible production scheduale that a Dec 2007 release would hae required?  I don't know more than what I've seen in the news reports but 23 months is not very long to go from greenlight to release espeically if major characters have to be photo-realistically animated (Aslan, Reepicheep, Truffelhunter).

thread_title:  2008????? 

message: The article states, "Judging by the spacing between Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and the stated desire to release the 'Caspian trilogy' films a year apart, the movie [The Silver Chair] will probably be released in 2012 or 2013."  But we know that Prince Caspain is due for release in June 2008, Voyage in May 2010.  So if Silver Chair is due in 2012 (at the earliest), that's two years apart (again), not one.  This "stated desire" to release them one year apart must therefore have been abandoned by now as unrealistic - right? 86.133.54.73 (talk) 23:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I have done due diligence, checking Google, news.google, and other sources.  Originator IP was assigned to a pool in Milwaukee, and I checked four different papers there, as well as Walden media staff/locations who might have leaked this.  As it's not in the news, not cited, and represents something that could be used to manipulate financial markets, I believe this to be fall under the "exceptional claim."  Removing the reference and suggesting if it is verifiable, it must be cited. Redcard (talk) 05:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Removed some redundant text in Additional Films section. Since Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader was its own section and discussed this already, removed "The film adaptation of the third book, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader  distributed by 20th Century Fox, has been confirmed; the next likely film." from the section.

thread_title:  Redundancy 

message: Ok so someone thinks that "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair" should be merged into this thread. Seriously, why bother doing that? You are just going to end up moving out afterwards when the movie goes into production in a few months. This is just a waste of time, leave that page be.

replies: text:  I don't think using PC v. VotDT is a fair comparison. PC did not "bomb" it still hit well over $100 million, and thus makes it a blockbuster. The reason for the delay in VotDT production was in fighting between Walden Media and Disney. Walden was very upfront about not having PC open in the summer as it would do better as a Christmas movie. Aslan being an allegory for Christ and what not. Disney did what they wanted and as a result prooved Walden Media right. As result of telling the mouse what to do and proving him wrong Disney dropped the franchise and thus production of VothDT had to be halted until a new distributor could be found.

thread_title: The Silver Chair

message: Let us reach a consensus on what to call this section heading. For a time, it was "Pevensie and Scrubb children". Now it is back to the original "Pevensie children". When Silver Chair comes out, it will be even more inaccurate. Should it be something simple like "The children" or more descriptive like "Children of Earth" to differentiate them from Narnia's children such as Caspian?

thread_title:  Plot redundant 

message: I could not find a source to support speculation about Silver Chair's release date, so I removed mentions of it from the article. I did find a reference for Magician's Nephew, in Christianity Today; however, the other reference named "TVObit" does not appear to be a valid source, it appears to be a television news story, but does not mention a channel, publisher, distributor, writer, or anything to identify it uniquely. Help would be appreciated in either tracking it down or removing it altogether. Elizium23 (talk) 00:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

message: It has been rumored that The Magician's Nephew and The Silver Chair are in development, but there is no reliable secondary source which has picked up this story. A NarniaFans.com article carried the rumor in September 2011, which is stale by now because Walden Media's option expired on future Narnia films; and IMDb has both films listed as "In Development": Magician (2014) Silver Chair (2015). IMDb is not a sufficiently reliable source for this. We need a news article, it would probably come in a trade publication such as Variety. So please do not add rumors to the Narnia articles until a news story is published. See WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NFF for more information. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 03:56, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Future films: Magician's Nephew and Silver Chair 

message: I've been reading The Magical Worlds of Narnia by David Colbert and there are many many references to all the source material that Lewis pulled from.  Lewis became a Christian later in life and it was not the primary influence in his novels.  He and Tolkien pulled lots of material from Norse and Greek mythology, Irish folklore, and many other sources, including Christianity.  Somebody please either add a reference to show that the current text is true or delete it.  Text is in paragraph two of the article: "While the films tried to follow the novels' traditional storyline and Christian themes, they also added deviations from the source material, including the Greek Mythology and Irish fairy tales."

thread_title:  Wikiquote Link 

message: It looks as if over the last few months there has been a bit of a slow-motion edit war about how this article should describe the future of the Silver Chair film: is it, as  has it in an edit summary, "still most likely being made", or has it been superseded by the announcement of the Netflix deal? The reliable sources I have been able to find are of little help; Deadline and Entertainment Weekly both suggest that the Netflix deal means the previous plans for The Silver Chair are dead, but neither is very firm about it 
Deadline says: "Following the MGC’s acquisition by eOne, it was announced in 2016 that Sony and eOne would finance and distribute [The Silver Chair]. Instead, Gordon and chief eOne strategy officer Peter Micelli felt there was a bigger opportunity in building a film-TV Narnia universe. They got The C.S. Lewis Company on board and took the package, accompanied by an elaborate vision presentation, to the marketplace, eventually landing at Netflix. (Sony is not involved in the project.)" The word "instead" suggests that the Silver Chair project, or at least the version of it that Sony was going to produce, is now dead; but it's far from clear.
Similarly, EW says: "A film version of the fourth book in the saga, The Silver Chair, was supposed to start filming this year under director Joe Johnston with Gordon producing, but it sounds like this deal is effectively overwriting that one." But "it sounds like" suggests that this is James Hibberd's interpretation of the press release, not a certain fact.
Finally, The Independent says: "Meanwhile, there's currently no word on whether the Joe Johnston-directed adaptation of The Silver Chair is still going ahead as previously planned."
I worded my edit the way I did in order to indicate to readers that it is the cited sources which are interpreting the Netflix announcement as meaning that the previous plans for The Silver Chair are now defunct — this is not our synthesis, but a summary of what other sources are saying. In the absence of firm news one way or the other, I think that's all we can do. Does that seem like a fair compromise to other editors? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:41, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
