The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
If you’ve never read the novels by C.S. Lewis, you’ve missed out. No fear, you have till December to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0064471195/qid=1116739013/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-8974531-8756951?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 get them and start reading. While they’re written at a children’s comprehension level, they’re a good read at any age. From the trailer (follow the link above), it looks like they’re doing the stories justice.
I can’t wait!
man, I just made a post about this same thing on my blog before i came to your site thru greymatterforums. I was in the movies and I seen a billboard for the movies i couldn’t believe it. After i read the lion the witch and the wardrobe in the 6th grade i ended up reading the whole series of books, I think its excelent that their making a movie, i can’t really believe it honestly, it’ll make me go back and read the books they are thought provoking and do any mind justice.
Believe it or not, there have already been a couple attempts at this – one by the Brits (they really don’t make good movies), and one animated that I know of.
The one(s) coming out this December look to actually do the series justice.
And yes, a re-read is definitely in order. I have a hard-bound set on the shelf just waiting for me to dive in!
