As we all know, The Magician’s Nephew is now in production. As a part of every movie, marketing is needed, and when there is a fit, you take it and run with it. In this case, Kellogg’s Apple Jacks cereal appears to be the perfect fit, for both the film and as a part of your balanced breakfast.
In the book, as well as the film, magical green and yellow rings are the doorway to the Wood Between Worlds, which eventually leads to Narnia. The breakfast cereal, as you can see, is made up of green and orange rings: a near perfect fit. As part of the promotion, they may even change the orange rings to limited edition Magician’s Nephew yellow, though that would require a slight change in the formula.
Get ready to make Narnia a part of your breakfast, with Magician’s Nephew style Apple Jacks cereal, from Kellogg’s. Free Guinea Pig stuffed toy in every box.
Fans of Narnia won’t have to wait to long for another Narnia related flick, but this time, CS Lewis’ beloved fantasy world is going to be visited by Jim Henson’s lovable bunch of weirdos The Muppets! Hot off their success from last Christmas’s big screen revival, The Muppets are slated to be featured in a brand new 2 hour special called The Muppets in Narnia!
Previously we have shared about the new major The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe stage production that is in development. Recently threesixty Theater has provided a time-lapse video showing the construction of the show’s unique theater. The show will be performed inside of a unique tent that provides 360 degree seating that is close to the stage. The tent is also specially designed so that there will not be any support beams blocking the audience’s view. The show will start this summer in Kensington Gardens in London.
It’s taken the internet by storm. Someone’s not only put a wardrobe into their child’s room, but it leads into a secret playroom with a Narnia theme. They put it in the bedroom of their nine-year-old daughter.
Hey, everybody, welcome back to Tumnus’ Bookshelf where we review any and all written books by, about and inspired by CS Lewis and the land of Narnia. For today’s review we will be looking at the 1919 poetry collection Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics by CS Lewis.
I’ve been working with the team behind the C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien movie, The Lion Awakes, for about 4 months now. It’s a feature film, not a documentary, about the writers of our favorite authors. Writers Darren Jacobs and Louis Markos spent the better part of 3 years writing the screenplay. Douglas Gresham went through the screenplay with Darren a while back and since then the film has undergone a few re-writes. The film’s executive producer is also its’ composer, Wernher Pramschufer. Mark Raymond and I are serving the film in Associate Producer roles.
What we need now is funding for the film. This isn’t actually going to be the film’s budget, that we’re trying to get on Kickstarter, but rather the funding that we need to put the materials together that we will be presenting to studios, distributors, investors, directors, actors and others that can help get this movie made and in theaters everywhere.
All are invited to this Joint Meeting to be held at Taylor University May 31 -June 2, 2012. The Frances White Ewbank Colloquium on C.S. Lewis & Friends is in its 8th year and will be joining up with the C.S. Lewis & the Inklings Annual Conference. The joint meeting will be held at Taylor University in Indiana, home of the Center for the Study of C.S.Lewis & Friends, a fine collection of first editions, manuscripts, letters, and books by and about The Inklings.
This year our keynote speakers include: Alan Jacobs of Wheaton College, author of “The Narnian.” Alan’s talk is titled “Distinguo!”
Paul Martin asked me to share a bit of information that you might be interested in – we at the C.S. Lewis Foundation are in the process of founding C.S. Lewis College. If your interest in Lewis and his writings goes beyond the films, you know that C.S. Lewis wrote about and was a model of three main topics – “mere” Christianity, creativity, and scholarship. Another way to say this is that he embodied and promoted the integration of the life of the mind, the life of the imagination, and the life of the spirit.
It is those three elements that we at the C.S. Lewis Foundation cultivate in all of our programs, events, and even the new C.S. Lewis College.
As the originator of the script, Jacobs gives interesting background of how it all started and how he and Dr. Markos ended up together on the film project. He details some of the many drafts the script as gone through and a fascinating time he had with Douglas Gresham, the step-son of C.S. Lewis, who provided additional insights to make the film more realistic. Jacobs also shares some about how he first became interest in Lewis and some of his favorite books by him.
O’Flaherty also had the chance to interview Paul Martin, the founder of NarniaFans.com. Paul talks about what you can find at the site today and how it all began, plus a summary of the current status of the Narnia movies. Paul is also involved in the promotion of The Lion Awakes, a movie in the works on the life of C.S.Lewis.
Dr. Markos has been teaching on C.S. Lewis for many years as an English professor at Houston Baptist University. Several years ago he did a 12-part course entitled Life and Writings of C.S. Lewisfor The Teaching Company. O’Flaherty spoke with Dr. Markos shortly after the final working title for The Lion Awakes was selected. He provides a concise summary of what the movie will focus on, noting that the role of J.R.R. Tolkien grew as the script was finalized. Additionally O’Flaherty spoke with him about Apologetics for the 21st Century, a book that examines how C.S. Lewis has played a vital role in an understand and defense of the Christian faith.
