Wow, it’s funny how a week can get away from you.  Especially when you’ve got a talkative painter working on your house, and you’re working from home simultaneously.  It’s been a busy week, and people have been informing me about my Harry Potter question from last week.  The interesting thing is that they pointed out some very interesting things.  See the previous mailbag for more details of that.  We’ve also had some very exciting things happening in the way of set photos and things.

Welcome to the mailbag, where we answer fanmail that you send in, over the course of the week.  For those that don’t know, we’ll take your questions, and if we don’t know the answers, we’ll try to get the answers from people that would know.  We might even make something up!  I have a very broad sense of humor, on top of a vast knowledge of film, music and comics with a wide range in taste and a great memory that serves to bring great comparisons or answers to your questions.

Portugese Narnia Fansite MundoNarnia.com had the opportunity to interview Tom Nelson, a storyboard artist who has done work on all three Narnia films so far, including the upcoming Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  How the interview came up is one thing, but they’ve alerted us to it, which you can read here.

Sorry that this week’s mailbag is a day late. I had some business to attend to. Namely, there were ghosts to be busted, and I was the best Ghostbuster for the job.  On Tuesday, a game that I had been waiting for most of my life to play was finally released.  Not only that, but it was released in roughly three variations, two of which I know for sure used the actors from the original movies.  Ghostbusters The Video Game was released for most systems, of which I got it for Xbox 360 and Wii as well as DS.  I have beaten the game on the 360, and just started playing the Wii version, which is a very different experience from the 360 version so far.  And I’ve loved almost every minute of it, save for some small problems, and the difficulty level of the game when sometimes, even on easy.  When I was 8 or 9, I went to the arcade (!) to play the Ghostbusters game, only to be disappointed by it for not having a similar style of play to that of the movie, and it’s about time they’ve made the game that I dreamed up at such a young age.  But this isn’t what you’re here to read about, you want to hear answer to Narnia fan mail, so here we go.

This week’s mailbag is a little late because I was waiting for the upgrade to the software on which NarniaFans.com runs.  It finally was released late last night, and by that time, I was too tired to write this.  Not to mention that I’m working on a secret project that I think you’re all going to love.  But there’ll be more time for that in the future.  If you want to submit a question as to what it could be, hint free, be my guest.  I’ll answer every question with one that brings you closer to the answer.

Academic fans of Narnia creator C.S. Lewis could come to the defence of Malvern’s gas lamps, which served as the inspiration for a famous scene in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  The future of the gas lamps has been raised after parish councils around Malvern were hit with unexpected top-up bills to pay for their maintenance and running.

Producer Mark Johnson has spoken about how they were putting the promotion together for Prince Caspian and what thoughts they had for how to capture a wider audience for the film than the first had.

When Mark Johnson was producing “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” released in 2005, he and Walt Disney Pictures were careful to hew to a PG rating.  ”We were always concerned that we didn’t want to make it too young, and were worried in our campaign about exposing some of the talking animals. We thought an older audience might say it’s just for little kids,” Johnson said.

He found the problem reversed for last year’s film sequel, “Prince Caspian.”  ”The second was accused of being too old. What happened [is that] it was less about the Narnian creatures than human creatures,” Johnson said.

The second film grossed $420 million at the global box office, while the first raked in $745 million.

I apologize for being late with this week’s mailbag.  Wednesday was the season finale of Lost and then Thursday was the season finale of The Office.  It was a very busy week besides all of that as well.  Anyway, let’s get started.
