so is this a good thing or a bad thing?

i actually read VotDT a few weeks ago and to be honest i really cant see how its going to make a good movie, even though i loved the book as a kid rereading it as a an adult was a bit of a let down. the story moves too quickly, not a lot really happens, theres no real 'bad' guy so to speak and is just a bit 'weak' compared to the rest of the series. all in all i think the main point of the book is to make Eustace into a likable/heroic character for the next couple of proper narnia stories.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, I have always loved the BBC adaptations of the first 4 Narnia books, and I enjoyed the first film when I first saw it, however I wasn't very impressed wit the prince caspian film, and having since read the books for the first time I can see that they made a lot of changes, a few of the good and most of them bad, and when I saw TLTWATW again it struck me that although the adaptation was fairly faithful the dialogue had been modernised in a horrible way.

I agree with nOmArch that VofDT will not adapt very well to film, so I can see this going two ways either they'll make a lot of changes to make it into a more standard fantasy adventure film which means we'll get another horrible adaptation like Prince Caspian, or they'll make a very faithful adaptation which will probably be seen as boring by most and which I will never watch simply because of the association with Prince Caspian (which I don't want to watch again and although it could be improved by a fan-edit it can't be fixed), and after that they'll have to try and make an adaptation of Silver Chair which is probably even harder as it doesn't have a very serious tone.

So actually in conclusion I probably don't care either way what they do with it, I've got the books and the BBC versions, so they can do what they want.

the prince caspian movie was HORRIBLE.

might as well not be related to narnia AT ALL.
