C.S. Lewis’ stepson (and co-producer of the films) Douglas Gresham appeared on Middle-earth Radio today and said a few words about the possibility of future Narnia films. He confirmed that “Walden’s contract with the company has expired,” but he hopes to be able to start production on another film in “three or four years time.” When asked which of the remaining books he is most excited about seeing on screen, he simply answered “all of them.” Listen to a couple short clips below:

as i have said beofre, its all because of the USA this has happened. If Dawn treader had done better in the USA box office, the next film would have been in production already. The international theatre responses was very good and they came to the party to watch dawn treader, but the USA audance from the previous films just did not match up. And now Fox is sitting back and thinking do we do another one or not. Walden had the great hype that dawn treader would be an amazing film to make, this amazing adventure with a dragon, amazing ship, great cast and strong story telling. Now after it did not perform that well in the USA. question marks are everywhere:( thanks usa

Yah, a movie is judged by its domestic box office.

It’s actually the United States AND Canada, so, on behalf of our cousins to the south, you’re welcome. Blaming an audience for not going to see a poor film is not really getting to the heart of the problem. It is a fact, though, that the film was supported very well in many markets other than North America. Why, I am at a loss to say. If anyone has any theories about this, I’d love to hear them. Correction. If anyone has any REASONABLE theories about this that don’t include derogatory remarks about North American audiences, I’d love to hear them.
