Narnia Sneak Peek
chad
writes, The latest issue of Newsweek contains an
article
on the upcoming movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I loved the Narnia
books as a kid, reading the entire series about five
times, and I was pleasantly surprised when the trailer
aired before “Revenge of the Sith”. The best indicator
of how Narnia is going to do, however, was in the
reaction of the people around me at the Star Wars
movie. I saw the trailer twice, and each time I heard
someone say “Wow…” after it ended. I think I
only read two of these books when I was a kid, but I
know many people who absolutely love them.

Marvel Takes Iron Man Back
After many false starts and stops at New Line, Marvel is taking back the film rights to Iron Man. It isn’t part of the 10 film deal they got financing for a month or so ago, so it will need to be financed seperately. Looks like they are going to wait and get a good script and a director signed before attempting to finance.
