It was as though I pushed past the overcoats at the back of the wardrobe and wandered into another strange, wonderful world.

Yesterday, I was given a tour of the set of the latest Narnia film, “Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”

I wasn’t allowed to take photos of the set (you’ll have to wait for the movie to come to cinemas at the end of 2010) but I can describe some of what I saw. It was very impressive. Read the rest of this entry »

Those of you wondering where to catch “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” on television (after the film is released, hits DVD, and is allowed to broadcast on TV, that is) may wonder no longer.  Variety reports:

I know that this is a little bit late, but I’m still working on a whole bunch of new things that are going to knock your socks off.  Believe me when I say, you haven’t seen anything yet!  We’re currently figuring out the release cycle for the content, but when it starts, it’s going to be something you won’t want to miss.

Big things are coming soon, but this is not part of that, just so you know.  You’ll know it when you see it!  Anyway, here’s the news.

One of my favorite parts of going to movies is the soundtrack that accompanies the film.  I’m a huge fan of music that not only compliments a movie, but enhances the film so much that, without it, the film would not be as effective.  When it comes to the Narnia films so far, Lisbeth Scott’s vocals have been an ever present part of the experience, as the Pevensies enter Narnia, or on the journey to the Professor’s.  She has a new album coming out, with a campaign to support a children’s charity.  She also collaborated with composer Harry Gregson-Williams, whose music was present in the first two Narnia films.

Last spring Micheal Flaherty, President of Walden Media, visited Asbury College as part of its Engaging Culture weekend. As those who have met him know, he is a truly great man–full of wisdom, enthusiasm, real joy, and deep compassion.

While he was on campus, Devin Brown had the opportunity to ask him about Walden’s mission, where its name came from, and even what his favorite scene is. His response to these and other questions can be viewed in “An Interview with Micheal Flaherty” which has been posted at: Asbury.edu

There’s also a question and answer session about The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Beloved Pictures has secured the film rights to C.S. Lewisʼs The Great Divorce.  C.S. Lewis, the world-renowned Oxford/Cambridge scholar and best-selling author of works such as The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters, is regarded as one of the most profound writers of the twentieth century. The first two installments of seven in the Chronicles of Narnia film franchise (The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian), produced by Disney & Walden Media, have grossed $1.16 billion to date.  Lewis was also the subject of the Academy Award-nominated, BAFTA-winning biopic, Shadowlands, starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.
