The Fourth CHRONICLES OF NARNIA Movie Will Be THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW (Book 6)

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted 3 years, 132 days ago

The Chronicles of Narnia haven’t quite provided the Harry Potter-sized hits studios were hoping for, but the movies have consistently done enough business to sustain a conversation about the continuation of the series.  The third film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, earned a moderately disappointing $104 million at the domestic box office, but rang up an additional $300 million internationally.  So 20th Century Fox and Walden Media are discussing the possibility of another movie — however, their book choice may surprise you.  Co-founder and president of Walden Michael Flaherty spoke about next adapting The Magician’s Nephew, the sixth book in C.S. Lewis’ fantasy series:

“We are starting to talk to Fox and talk to the C.S. Lewis estate now about The Magician’s Nephew being our next film.  If we can all agree to move forward, then what we would do is find someone to write the script. So, it could still be a couple of years.”
