Huh, They’re Still Making Narnia Flicks
Really, I had no idea. I thought Prince Caspian kinda tanked, and so Disney had either given up the Narnia movies altogether or planned to release the next one on DVD, but here’s Voyage of the Dawn Treader, all ready for this Christmas, in 3-D and complete with lion Liam Neeson and albino Tilda Swinton and shit. I’m not saying I want to see it, I’m kind of impressed that Disney’s making it at all and that I didn’t hear about it at some point before this trailer.
Hmm. I think I know why the Narnia movies have been so middlingly received. Hey, Disney, you know what this flick needs? Owls. Preferably several thousand or so. (Via /Film)
