Why aren't they making the other books movies too?

Er, what do you mean, Nevi? Prince Caspian IS a Narnia book!
If you're wondering why they made it before book 3(The Horse and his Boy), that's because Prince Caspian is the book that follows directly after The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. The Horse and his Boy happened while the Pevensies were still in the wardrobe, and that would kind of be hard to explain if the movie were made now.
As a loyal Narnia fan, I really wish ALL 7 books get made into movies, but with the way Hollywood is, I wouldn't put too much hope on it.

YAAY!! :o Prince Caspian is such a wonderful book!!
I wish they would make other book (i don't remember what's it's name, it's about a boy, Ustace and Lucy)

^Voyage of the Dawn Treader. ^^

And Nevi, Prince Caspian did follow the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in its original chronology. It's just as well, I think... you can't expect the actors who played the Pevensie siblings to stay little children, after all.

:woot: Awesomeness! This is made especially exciting since I finally got to see The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe last night :dance:

Oh, that's great! Congratulations! :woot: Did you like it, Sefie?

OHMIGOD! Yes!

I get to see William Moseley again... Although Prince Caspian isn't really my favourite book, I hope the movie turns out great, coz I want to see The Magician's Nephew in production.

Oh, me too! The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was my favorite, by far

What's good about this is, it doesn't matter much if they get older. It isn't like Harry Potter where they're struggling to make all the movies at once before everybody looks too old. By The Last Battle, the Pevensies are young adults anyway, so they can still use William and the others no matter how many movies are made between it and LWW ^_^

Amen to that! I would love to see the wood between the worlds and Jadis set loose on London! Not to mention Charn and newborn Narnia.... the possibilities are limitless!

w00t! I still haven't seen The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe yet, but I've read the books since I was little...I'd love to see Prince Caspian done. The Magician's Nephew as well, but that was the first adventure ever in Narnia...so that would be a prequel...it'd be hard for them to do it now that they've brought the second adventure to film.

It's like LOTR...they didnt make The Hobbit first, which they should have, I think. Same for the StarWars movies, though I'm glad they waited to make those prequels, they just look so flashy!

That's great! :dance:

I was expecting them to go in this order, actually, if they were to make more sequels. After all it makes more sense, especially for people who have never read the books. ^_^

And, I also think, that Prince Caspian is the book most similar to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, but that's just my opinion. ^^''

That's what I meant. I wanted to see them all, because I heard that they're only making 3 movies. And know that must leave out the Magician's Nephew. That one was my favorite.

From NarniaWeb

Yyyyes, sequels are now definite! :dance:
But waiting till 2008 shall be torture :cry:

Whoot! Yayness! But I'm still looking for some Magician's Nephew love!

OH....




.... :o




He's handsome, I'll give him that. Oh yes, definite hottie. But...but...but...he isn't MY Caspian! :ermm:

...I can't connect him with the Caspian who loved hearing his nurse's (not-so) fairy tales and who cried when she went away, and who was tongue-tied around Peter and Edmund.The Caspian I imagined, in Prince Caspian at least, was a naive, boyish youngster who was in awe of the Pevensies(heck, lived off stories of the four rulers), and just about a little younger than Peter. YOUNG! Oh so young! This guy looks more like the matured Caspian I imagined in Dawn Treader! :unsure:

And this is SO weird, but he looks like I imagined older!Edmund to be, only with dark hair 0_o

Actually, the books implied that Caspian and Peter are roughly the same age.

William was 18 back in 2005. So he's 20 now. He can't really work with a younger child whom Peter would bond with as an equal (and the one who'll follow his legacy) in the film.

Actually, I'm interested how Adamson will work with it. And Barnes did act as a younger man. I'm willing to see how it goes.

But bleargh on rumors of Susan and Caspian, bleargh!. He just keeps her horn, for goodness' sakes, not an engagement ring. Caspian x Star Lady always!

I am upset Adamson has no plans to direct Voyage of the Dawn Treader though.

*am preparing myself to horrid Peter x Caspian slash that will inevitably pop out*

Well, Caspian was about 17 in Dawn Treader(according to C.S. Lewis' timeline), so he's around 13-14 in "Prince Caspian"(he says it's been 'exactly three years' in "Dawn Treader"). Peter's 14 in "Prince Caspian". I expected him to be younger looking, though, maybe between William Moseley and Skandar Keynes? So that when he's king in "Dawn Treader", people will get that 'my, he's grown' vibe.

Yeah, of course. I am still excited about the film, just rather surprised at what a mature Caspian they chose.
And I understand why they had to merge the kids challenging Trumpkin to them training the Narnians instead.Telling two 'parallel stories' ---young! Caspian and the Pevensies return to Narnia--- are difficult enough to work with.
BUT they can't leave out Caspian's fascination with the Old Narnia stories, or the Tower scenes(can they even leave out those?)...they have to show Caspian growing up!
And...I really hope I still get that snarky!Edmund challenging Trumpkin, calling him DLF and all :( *ish Ed fangirl*

Ditto. I thought one of the advantages of having a more mature Caspian was that they could no longer create flirt scenes between him and Georgie Henley in "Dawn Treader" to please the hordes of Caspian/Lucy fans(sorry but I was NEVER one, it's so...pedophilic.). But it looks like they're doing it with Susan instead <_<

There were Caspian x Lucy fans (Tumnus and Lucy fandom is quite large)? News to me. 0.o;

I think they were aiming that William and Barnes are at the same age, though.

I also don't know how Caspian falling in love with Old Narnia would come to pass. Will it show flashbacks of a younger Caspian, I wonder?

Oh yes, tons. You prolly don't hang out in the Narnia fandom a lot. They base it on his gallantry towards her in Dawn Treader. They even have a ship name: Lucian. And I'm, like, WTF? 0_0 Come one, he practically proposed to Ramandu's daughter moments after meeting her!

And they're like, OMG I H8 DAT GURL WE DUNNO HER, thereby ignoring the only C.S. Lewis canon couple aside from Cor/ Aravis :rolleyes:

There's actually this one Edmund/Caspian story I REALLY like...:ducks stones:, no honestly, it was beautiful :)

I sort of lurked, but never dabbled in the fan community.

Fanons are fun, though. ^0^

Don't like them too much in the Narnia fandom, though. It's weird for me to see C.S. Lewis' good ol' Narnia chivalry being used as shippy evidence. (I've also seen some Tirian/Jill, Tirian/Lucy, and Rilian/Jill sprinkled about 0_0). I accept the canon couples, and the practically-canon couples(Eustace/Jill, Digory/Polly, lol). Okay, and there was that ONE Ed/Caspian fic I mentioned, but that was an exception! :D

Yay! Although, Prince Caspian was my least favorite of the series. I think it was because there was a big flash back in the middle of the story. Maybe I'll like it better on screen.
Hopefully they'll do Voyage of the Dawn Treador and The Silver Chair. SC was my favorite book.

Eustace and Jill I can understand, but I'll disagree on Digory and Polly being a couple, because they never were in the first place, just best friends. It's not FFVII, after all. ^^;;

Now I'm interested since you insist so much, LOL. Link?

Next to Prince Caspian, my faves are Magician's Nephew and Horse and His Boy (Shasta x Aravis fan here!)

I thought there was potential! In fact, I think the only reason C.S. Lewis' didn't make them husband and wife in the last book, was 'cause he already stated that 'the Professor had no wife' in the very first book :P

Exactly. :P

Then again, I really wonder why he made Digory single, since it was popular opinion that character supposed to represent him, and Lewis was married.

Thanks for the link, BTW! Shall read it.

Entirely off topic, but Anti your sig is so much WIN!

I hate all the incest pairings for this fandom. Such as Peter/Susan, Peter/Edmund, Edmund/Lucy, Lucy/Susan ect...

That just takes it waaaaaaaaaaaaay to far. Considering that Lewis was a devout Christian there is absolutely no subtext as some people claim there to be.

Prince Caspian and Lucy are cute though.

XD. Glad you like it.

I really like that scene in that part of the game (Rei actually won the "..." thing between her and Heero). Thought I'd put it up.

Oh yes. Incest fics are... gross. >.<

But I think the reason was there were shippers for actors William and Anna (me and my sister are sadly a part of it).

It's a toss-up between Peter/Susan and Peter/Mary-Sue...I can't decide which one I hate more >.<
I think it's just fangirls putting themselves in MarySue/Anna/Susan's place so they can have Peter/William XD

You're welcome! There's also a counterpart fic by the same author, from Caspian's POV.

What game IS that? :unsure: Yup, "..." TOTALLY means Heero wants to get into Relena's....errrrr, bad mental image. Nevermind :puke:

New development - first pictures of the movie itself! And to hear some crazy fan discussing them:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Z_O3DZrGc

Though he's a little annoying because he keeps blocking some of the damn pictures. Guh.

I also saw a little bit of video footage on Entertainment Tonight though I'm not sure whether I can find it or not. Do they put their videos online? *is too lazy to check*

Well the Narnia Fan in that blog seems to be a little...disappointed? Or is he just needlessly nitpicky like all other hardcore fans of books/tvshows/games etc that are being made into movies? And are Susan and the Prince supposed to have something going on? Wasn't it supposed to be Lucy? I've never read the books so maybe somebody can fill me in?


Also, here's Prince Caspian himself: http://www.narniaweb.com/news.asp?id=1249&dl=13345565 :fangirl: Quite a bit of footage here!

Yes. He is being nitpicky (there are fans who voiced complaint that Caspian looks old... but Peter's actor is 20 >.<).

But I understand his fears. I feel dread when I was informed that...

a) Peter and Caspian engage in a duel.
B) Susan and Caspian had "a thing going on" *spoiler* to give a slight reason why she didn't believe in Narnia growing up in the Last Battle (I find it lame) . As for Lucy and Caspian... I have really NO idea where that came from, really.
c) The Pevensies infiltrate Miraz's castle. Susan going all warrior princess and whooping Telmarine bootie (the heck?).

All these three NEVER happened in the original book, and my canon freak side is... annoyed, for lack of a better term. Susan was characterized in the book as a pacifist: she never enjoys violence despite knowing the necessity of it.

But then again, I also felt that the book that chronicles Peter and Susan's last adventure and finally breaking the "Pevensie Team Monarchs" for good... C.S. Lewis didn't flesh them out as he should have (Peter gets a spotlight, but all Susan has is foreshadowing of her lack of faith). That's my main gripe of Prince Caspian, despite that it's been my favorite.

So I'm rather torn on the whole thing (hey, same thing that I felt regarding Faramir's character in The Two Towers years ago). I can only hope Adamson knows what he's doing.

I wish I could remember this book, but actually all of them are a blur except the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. However I am very excited they are continuing to make the books into movies.

Also thanks to Anti-R for explaining some scenes that are being added by the movie makers, I am not sure why there always has to be other things added instead of just sticking to the original story, people enjoy the books everyday without tampering, I don't see why there is the need to add to the base story.

I usually chalk it up to producers/companies who feel the "general movie-going audience" won't "get it" unless they force in typical Hollywood schticks. :rolleyes:

But to be fair, I suppose there are difference between the book and movie mediums. What works in one doesn't always work in another. I didn't really get it until I read a post explaining why Spiderman's comic quips didn't and shouldn't be added to the movie version-- differences in presentation, the comic book layout that allows you to pause the action in your head and add the quips, whereas the movie's action will never pause, etc.

Especially since movies are shorter, they're forced to remove things-- but that could also end up forcing them to include new scenes to fill the gap.

Although Susan going warrior princess on us, when from Anti's post I get the feeling she shouldn't, still strikes me as the Hollywood cliche of a "strong woman". :P


Anyway, this may be slightly OT, but I finally watched the first movie. It was pretty enjoyable, though sadly I think any movie with a medieval theme (and those always involve big, epic battles) will always get compared to LOTR. Still, I loved the varied cast of characters (Beavers were WIN) and I didn't expect to see the Pevensies all grown up.

And I love, love, LOVE the brightness of it all. As in, the colour. The colour! It's the antithesis of what's been turning me off the latest HP movies-- finally, a red that looks red and not red-covered-by-a-film-of-depressing-grey/green!

Yep. Think Yuna from X to X-2, except Susan's not being peddled for fanservice (thank Aslan!).

It would have been better, if Susan must be involved in a battle scene, she attacks with the intention to disarm. In the books, despite that she's an excellent archer (she can precisely shoot an apple so far that it looks like a cherry XD), Susan never shoots to kill, as long as there's another way around it.

And yes, as she is one of my favorite characters, I'm obsessed with that detail (can you imagine if... say Aerith, uses her staff and attacks like Donatello in a FFVII remake, all for the sake to make her look cool? 0.0).

Prince Caspian is actually a very, very short book... I can understand why they had to add the scenes (the Peter and Maugrim encounter in the Frozen Waterfall is not in the book in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but was delivered well).

I just don't see why the guys need to infiltrate Miraz's stronghold. 0.o

Yes, LOTR is quite a giant and undoubtedly hard to topple. Now I know what those sci-fi movies after the original Star Wars trilogy felt like during its time.

Hm... Adamson promised that Prince Caspian would be "darker" (as the kids were gone for 1300 years in Narnia, and men forced the talking animals and magical creatures into hiding)... so when they returned it wasn't as "bright" and "beautiful" as they remembered.

Looking forward to the angst. XD

I'm so happy you saw the film, Lynn! :huggle:

And since you love the Beavers (which, for some reason, reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in HP), be prepared for Repicheep and Trufflehunter.

Oh yeah!.
Caspian looks stunning, and holy farking crap, Edmund and Lucy sure have grown!

Yeah, it's emphasized so many times that Susan is a pacifist. She worries over a mere practice duel between Trumpkin and Edmund, doesn't like riding off to battle despite being a great archer, "hates killing things"...I mean, that's why she's called The Gentle after all. I don't like the idea of kickbutt!Susan. :whistle:

Really? ...What has one thing got to do with the other, I wonder :ermm:

I'm sure this'll be fine as long as it's a friendly duel and not "I KEEL JOO" duel :P But I wonder if they're also going to give Edmund and Caspian a duel in Dawn Treader, you know, when Caspian nearly attacks Edmund on Deathwater? XD They did that in the BBC version

Yeah. Wow. 0.0

Ed and Lu have grown a little too much. I guess it'll be a stretch of the imagination that they're supposedly a year older.

Word.

Still if this gives me a decent Susan action figure (her TLTWATW one makes me cry), I suppose I can forgive Andrew...

Caspian's the guy with the sword? I like the guy with the sword and the horn of Gondor. :o

Hee, yeah, I've had my eye on the books for a long time, so I wasn't gonna skip the movie... just procrastinated a few years. XD

Aww. Well, I'll still have the first movie, I guess. Darkness and angst are yay, of course, but I just hope it doesn't look like someone stuck a sickly green filter over all of the scenes. >_<

They reminded me of the Weasley parents too! :woot: I loved their adorable uncle/aunty vibes! Yay for more doting couples in Prince Caspian! XDDD

Yup, that's Caspian.

The horn he's holding is Susan's (one of her gifts from Father Christmas).

I can totally see shippers using this though. Ugh.

But I must admit the poster's sexy.

Truffflehunter x Reepicheep? o.0; That'd be an interesting... pairing...

FREAKIN' WOOT.
Got shivers during the River God part! And I like that they expanded the whole reviving the-White-Witch plot; it always creeped me out in the book
Aw, Lucy got so pretty! Looks like actiongurl!Susan all the way, though... :whistle:
Would've liked more Edmund though(and the bookgeek in me is glad they even kept his fishbasket!hat :giggle:) That said...DAMN YOU PETER, I NEEDED A COLD SHOWER AFTER SEEING YOU SWEATY AND IN ARMOR. *hides from Peter-owning Anti-R*

Edmund: What did you say? I thought you were *my* fangirl! :tard:
Kusari: Hey, hey, blame hormones :sweat:

That said, amidst all the action, how the heck are they going to play out the Caspian's childood storyline? :unsure:
