A year or two ago there was talk of republishing the Narnia series.
With all the Christian allegory removed.

Then i guess they realized it's hard to sell a book that's only seven pages long :haha:

Seriously though, that's a classic example of copyright law [b]not[/b] working to protect the author's interests. Get the wrong people in charge of your estate, and who knows [i]what[/i]'ll happen to your intellectual property.

Hoping these new flix do a better job.

C.S. Lewis' grandson (or godson, can't remember) is a producer and he's keeping it faithful to teh books, even the Christian allegory.

It's actually his step-son, Douglas Gresham. I'm really glad that he is on board with the production!

I hear the BBC production of it is good, too.

The BBC already did some of the series, it is excellent.

We have the BBC version, but it only goes through "The Silver Chair"... Now, I [i]heard[/i] that the reason that the rest weren't made is because there was a train reck and the actors were killed... now, to me, I smell an urban legend (after all, doesn't that happen in "The Last Battle"?)

[daveybe]

speaking of C.S. Lewis... bumping this topic again to ask:

anybody seen [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108101/"]Shadowlands[/url]? Said to be the story of how he met his wife, Joy Davidman. I guess it started as a one man stage drama, then migrated to the screen.

Comments? Worth a rental?

I think we watched Shadowlands in school, although we only watched part of it so I couldn't really get into it.

I loved Narnia and the BBC production was excellent. I remember hiding behind the sofa when they tied Aslan to the table.
