Dr. Bob Beltz is a consultant for the owner of Walden Media.  He’s now working on bringing another C.S. Lewis classic to the big screen with The Great Divorce.  It has the potential to be a fantastic film.  It’s got the solid foundation of C.S. Lewis behind it, and if done well, could be a film classic.  Dr. Beltz wrote about it on his blog on Examiner.
