So, this week is the start of a new school year for my kids (Hallelujah). To get my 10 year old back into school mode, my wife and I made her start reading a book. She decided to pick up the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She was already familiar with the story since she saw the 2005 movie.
She’s about 3/4 of the way through, when she asks if there are more movies based on the remaining novels. I told her that two more were made: Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Both are worse than Wardrobe, so I told her not to worry and just read the book. Caspian’s Rotten Tomato score is at 67% and Dawn Treader with a 49%. Wardrobe is rated the highest, with a score of 76%
That got me thinking: Dawn Treader came out in 2010. So what’s up with the other two books in the series?
According to IMDB and other sources, the Silver Chair is slated for production in 2016. My question to you all is this: Do we really care if more Narnia movies are made?
