Also: It's really confusing to me to see the (now highly distinctive) landscape of New Zealand and the (Now Highly Familiar- I'm an art direction commentary addict) voice of Richard Taylor in a combination that does not equal LotR. It's almost... impossible for my mind to comprehend.
Also #2: I need to go to New Zealand. Now.
Also #3: I wish I was an artist (that I had persued visual art more thoroughly) so I could draw things.

I'm a little nervous about a director who has only done one other movie, Shrek, and that was animated. But he seems to know what he is doing on this one. It all looks good.
I kinda hope they get someone else to do the other ones, like how Harry Potter movies switche around to new directors. Especially with the characters changing around in the later movies.
I don't even think they can make all the books into movies. It'll be hard to make The Magician's Nephew, even though it does explain how Jadis got to Narnia.
I've always wondered how they will use all the extra time they have. All of the Chronicles of Narnia are about the size of the Fellowship of the Ring, or maybe the fellowship and half of Two towers, and in those books they crammed it into three movies and left so much out. These books are tiny in comparison. I guess that just means more room for detail, I hope. They'll have few excuses for leaving things out.

Too bad Pier Paolo Pasolini is dead. I bet he would've done a great job with the magic children dream of. Posts: 2258 | Registered: Aug 2003

Andrew Adamson has done two other movies, Shrek and Shrek 2.
They aren't planning to leave anything out...they are planning to greatly expand on a couple of sections of the book.
Confirmed are:
The evacuation of the children from London (one line in the book, much more detailed in the film)
The Beavers and the three Pevensies flee from the Wolf Police (punched up for dramatic tension)
The climactic battle between the army of Jadis and Aslan's Narnians (only a page and a half in the book, vastly enlarged into a full-blown sequence for the movie.)

There is a spy report that there will be a brand new scene in which Edmund encounters the imprisoned Mr. Tumnus at the Witch's palace (before the faun is turned to stone, obviously)...but this conflicts with a couple of other spy reports and is unconfirmed.
