The C.S. Lewis Company has entered into an agreement with The Mark Gordon Company to jointly develop and produce The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair, the fourth book published in C.S. Lewis' famed fantasy series. The announcement was made today by The C.S. Lewis Company.
Mark Gordon stated, "Like many readers, both young and old, I am a huge fan of C.S. Lewis's beautiful and allegorical world of Narnia. These fantasy stories inspire real-world passion among millions of devoted fans around the world. As we prepare to bring the next book to life, we are humbled and excited to contribute to the outstanding legacy of Narnia."
Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis stated, "I have a great deal of respect for Mark Gordon's work and am confident that together we can bring the beauty and magical delight that Narnia engenders in the hearts of those who read the books to the screen in 'The Silver Chair.' I am very much looking forward to diving once more into Narnia, this time with Mark Gordon and his team."
Mark Gordon and Douglas Gresham along with Vincent Sieber, the LA based Director of The C.S. Lewis Company, will serve as producers and work with The Mark Gordon Company on developing the script. Michele Wolkoff and Sara Smith will oversee for The Mark Gordon Company.
Vincent Sieber stated, "We are very excited by this partnership and to be able to work on this movie from its earliest conception on such a collaborative basis. It gives us the opportunity to develop a script and then produce a film with some of the most talented industry professionals whilst remaining completely faithful to this much loved book.”

Well, none of the Pevensies are in Silver Chair, so they only have to get one actor: Eustace. I sincerely hope they do, I quite enjoyed his portrayal of Eustace.

None of them are these huge big time PAY ME LOTS OF MONIES actors, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're all back. Well, hopefully Liam Neeson will do Aslan...

They're going to change the name of the Lady of the Green Kirtle to the White Witch! She returns again!

Yay! I saw this earlier today and quickly checked the date and the source to make sure that it wasn't an April Fool's joke. Obviously this movie won't actually be out for quite a while, but it's nice to know that it's coming.
She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

The long wait was because Walden Media didn’t want it anymore. If another company wanted to take over, which they apparently did, they had to wait until the rights lapsed.

Yay! I'm so glad they're doing the Silver Chair next. It only makes sense, since it comes chronologically after Dawn Treader . I hope they have the same actor as Eustace, though he might be a little too old by the time it's made.
I'm actually quite excited to see how this pans out. Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair were always my two favorite Narnia books, and having seen the former I really want to see what they do with the latter. (Also, can I just say that the name "Dawn Treader" isn't appreciated nearly enough? That's a freakin' awesome name for a ship!)

That is an amazing name, now that I think about it
I like the Silver Chair, so I'm happy to see it be made into a movie.
Finally! I can't wait til this movie come out. I really hope it's good. Mark Gordon has directed some pretty good movies, but I honestly was hoping Andrew Adamson would be able to continue with the Narnia series. He did such a good job with the first one and second one.
