Well it is odd in a way but the reason being is that at a liturgical event held earlier this year called “Connecting with Audiences in an Age of Distraction”, Michael Flaherty of Walden Media put the issue of which film should be adapted first into a democratic vote of sorts. The people who attended voted for 'The Magician's Nephew' while very few expressed support for 'The Silver Chair' which WB Entertainment had intended to release under the title of 'The Silver Throne'.
Personally, I haven't really read the 'The Silver Chair' and therefore I can't say much on the issue. I've read 'The Magician's Nephew' and I loved it. Therefore I am really excited about this. Still, seeing as I have read 'The Horse and His Boy', 'Prince Caspian' and 'The Last Battle' I shall make it my duty to go and read 'The Silver Chair' as soon as possible.
I must say that 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' was indeed a powerful movie. It was far more inspiring than I'd anticipated it being. By the end of the movie I was in tears. I was also very surprised at our loud and clear the Gospel message came through in this movie. It was almost as good as the theological tones C.S. Lewis imbued the books with. I knew that Michael Apted alway's tried to convey spirituality through his movies as was seen in 'Amazing Grace' but the way it came through in 'Dawn Treader' was beyond my expectations.
Does anyone know if M. Apted will be involved in 'The Magician's Nephew'?
