Threesixty has announced who will provide the voice of Aslan in the new stage production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in Kensington Gardens.
The voice of Aslan in Focus on the Family’s radio dramatization of The Chronicles of Narnia, Davide Suchet, returns to the role.
Meet the voice of Aslan and read the full press release here:
“There on a sudden did my heart perceive
That they who sang about the Eve,
Who answered the bright-shining stars
With gleaming music of their strange guitars,
These were His wandering happy sons
Encamped upon those aery leas
Where Gods’ unsullied garment runs
In glory down to his mighty knees.”
- J.R.R Tolkien, from Habbanan beneath the Stars
Sometime in the beleaguered days of 1915, J.R.R. Tolkien sought refuge from military movements, and likely pining for aery leas, he penned the words above. This poem gives us an early glimpse of the artist laying down the supporting stones for his vast legendarium. While the canvas is still largely bare, we can see the foundational elements being mixed together; faith and fairyland, hope and hidden fire.
Middle-earth Network is proud to announce that it is partnering with NarniaFans.com, the largest source of C.S. Lewis and Narnia content on the web! This partnership, announced first on TFI Episode 27, will definitively make the Middle-earth Network the largest network of all things High Fantasy and Sci-fi! In the partnership, Middle-earth Network will begin to host the Narnia Fans website, as well as collaborate on a podcast, which will be heard on Middle-earth Network Radio.
Mark Ostley, Director of Operations for Middle-earth Network on the partnership: “We’re excited about partnering with NarniaFans and this just officially cements an already awesome relationship and friendship with the people behind the largest Narnia website on the internet. We’ve been working behind the scenes on several projects already, such as a podcast, and making it official just made sense.”

C.S. Lewis was one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century. Lewis wrote many letters to fans, and many of those have been collected in books. One such letter was advice about writing. Now more than ever I believe that Lewis and I share a very similar view of writing. Needless to say, I was well pleased by Lewis’ letter to Joan, as you can see here. I’ve put some very important parts of it in bold. Do listen to your teachers to help build a foundation for your writing, but after that, adapt. Your personality will shine through fine if you know simple rules for writing.

If you’ve been wondering where the Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition was going to turn up next, after its’ North American tour, wonder no longer. Many fans in Australia had been wondering if they’d get the chance to see the Exhibition. Afterall, they did some filming there for the films. The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Exhibition opens next month at Sydney, Australia’s Powerhouse Museum.
The Narnia exhibition will feature costumes, props and set dressings from the three films.
The original books by C.S. Lewis – telling the adventures of Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter, who find a secret door in the back of a wardrobe to the magical world of Narnia – have been favorites since their publication in the 1950s.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition opens at The Powerhouse Museum on May 12 and will run until August 26.
Ever dream of walking the paths of Middle-earth or stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia? Here’s your chance!
Middle-earth Network has announced their grand tour, ‘A Long Expected Journey to New Zealand’ and it’s just in time for ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Wellington Premiere! Join together with fellow Tolkien and Lewis fans on a 14 day tour that will take you on an extensive journey through both the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
We’re teaming with them on this, and if you sign up, be sure to tell them that NarniaFans.com sent you. Part of the tour will be to locations used for the filming of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and there may be some special guests joining us at times!
C.S. Lewis may be more famous for writing The Chronicles of Narnia, but his Space Trilogy is probably a close second among his works of fiction. Today, HarperCollins is releasing the books in ebook format for the first time. It’s the first time that HarperCollins is publishing the books in the U.S., as they’ve been published by Scribner until now.
Order The Space Trilogy for your Kindle:

Earlier today, we posted a story about the new partnership between the Narnia franchise and Apple Jacks cereal. Many of you noticed that the cereal box pictured in the post had a tiny image on it; yet none of us knew what the picture was of. But in the last hour, guess what happened?
Hold on to your flying horses, folks: a full-sized poster for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew has been leaked online!
You heard that right, the first poster for the The Magician’s Nephew movie is now available for public viewing! Hurry and save the image to your computer, as we may be forced to take it down soon due to copyright issues.
