Narnia to be Created in New Zealand

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the if-it-worked-for-middle-earth dept.

SCS writes "It has been confirmed that the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be made in New Zealand as part of a five film line-up of C.S. Lewis's Narnia fantasy book series, with New Zealander Andrew Adamson of Shrek fame as its director. Filming begins next year, and Weta Digital has already started the graphics work. Also reported at the BBC and HeraldTribune.com."

    Actually, the heavy-handed smearing of christian admonishments throughout the series largely puts me off what could otherwise have been a very enjoyable story. Not that Lewis is to blame; he was a product of his time and place, after all.

    How long more before the Dragonlance movie appears?

    Just like D&D and LOTR, this is a production inspired by satan herself! Anyone who has anything to do with D&D should be shot.

    No one should even think, much less watch such evil!
