The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Yes, that’s right, something that we all knew would happen has been confirmed - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian will be made into a movie.

From Yahoo! News: “Potter,” “Narnia” Set for Sequels

Seven is also the magic number for C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia series, though the sequence of the books is widely debated among fans. The first big-screen adaptation, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, though the first of the Narnia books to be published, is chronologically the second book in the fantasy series.

It’s just-announced sequel, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, is often cited either the fourth or fifth book chronologically, though it was the second installment to be printed.

In any case, Disney and Walden Media have again hired Andrew Adamson to produce, direct and write the movie along with original scribes Christopher Markus and Steve McFeeley. The entire principal cast is also set to return.

In Prince Caspian, the four Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, where 1,000 years have passed since they last left. The children are enlisted to once again help ward off a villain, this time an evil king, and restore the rightful heir to the land’s throne, Prince Caspian.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, released just before Christmas, has already grossed $634.4 million worldwide, per BoxOfficeMojo.com, and shows little signs of slacking. The film has yet to fall out of the top 10 at the North American box office. Earlier this week, the film nabbed three Academy Award nominations, for makeup, sound mixing and visual effects.
