I was working at Viking Children's Books when whoever published the Chronicles of Narnia decided to shift the novels' numbering so it followed the internal chronology. A rather lame choice, we all thought. Nice to see the movie folks are ignoring the decision, too.
Dawn Treader and Silver Chair should be good; they were my favorite of the books.
You don't remember all those pix of Tilda Swinton you doctored so she looks like Supergirl? What's with you?

[Image] From Darkhorizons, "Entertainment Weekly this week published an article outlining Walden Media's plans for the future of "The Chronicles of Narnia" series of films and its surprising what's in store.
First up, its certain that the fourth book "Prince Caspian" will be the next adventure. Despite its shorter length than 'Wardrobe', there's no plans to fuse elements from the other novels into it. Producer Mark Johnson confirms that adapting the story is proving tougher than 'Wardrobe' and it now looks like the film could be pushed back a year to Xmas 2008 due to visual effects demands.
The fifth and sixth books, "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "The Silver Chair", will be done next with the studio planning to use Caspian and these two as "an interlocking trilogy that will be shot in that order".
What about the other three books though? No word on if the studio plans to do any of them, though most likely the first novel "The Magician's Nephew" will be the first post-trilogy project."
"The Chronicles of Narnia will be around for a while"

Have you seen the film? It's a lot of fun.

I have indeed. I liked it. I've been a big fan of Tilda Swinton since I saw Orlando.

What do you mean, when you "saw" me? I have nothing to do with this

Now I understand. Their "fourth book" thing confused me because Prince Caspian is the second book.
They changed the numbering of the published books? What the fuck? Who said they could do that? They can't do that!
And I don't even like Narnia that much
