Twentieth Century Fox has reportedly agreed to develop the third instalment in the Chronicles Of Narnia franchise alongside Walden Media.
Walt Disney Pictures, which produced the first two instalments, pulled out of The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader last month, citing budgetary reasons.
According to Variety, Fox was entitled to the first crack at Dawn Treader because of the shared Fox Walden marketing and distributing label.
Fox 2000 will reportedly share the production costs, which are thought to be around $140 million (£100 million), with Walden Media.
The Horse Whisperer's Richard LaGravenese has penned the most recent script, while The World Is Not Enough director Michael Apted will helm the project. Andrew Adamson and Mark Johnson will take on producing duties.
The studio is likely to greenlight the project after budgetary and script concerns are settled.
Production is scheduled to begin in Australia this summer, with a slated holiday 2010 release date.
Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley will reprise their roles, with Son Of Rambow star Will Poulter joining the cast as Eustace Clarence Scrubb.

I understand the second film didn't do too well at the box office.

Prince Caspian would have done better if it released last month.

Yes I have. Long ago now.FormerBondFan wrote:Have read the series, Doc?
I got the books on cd for road trip but the kids didn't want to ruin the movies by knowing what the book is about first. May be moot point now.
I''m not sure which one but one of the books is read by Patric Stewart!

The first Narnia movie was on the other night(Fox Family Channel) but I didn't watch it. My only real reason for watching it? James McAvoy

I wish it was a little longer, but other than that, a great movie overall.Kristatos wrote:Going on Wednesday. How was it?FormerBondFan wrote:Anyone seen Narnia 3 yet? I'm going to next Sunday.
Re: Disney ditches The Dawn Treader
I saw it last night. Personally, I thought the length and pacing of the film were perfect. I found the previous two a tad overlong to tell you the truth. Michael Apted keeps things moving along at a nice clip, and makes a better Narnia director than he was a Bond director. I'd like to see him do more, but sadly, the disappointing box-office receipts of both this film and its immediate predecessor probably means there won't be any more Narnia films.FormerBondFan wrote:I wish it was a little longer, but other than that, a great movie overall.

Re: Disney ditches The Dawn Treader
PC still lost money. VOTDT is still on release, obviously, and has a smaller production budget, so it could yet make its money back, but so far, the omens aren't good.FormerBondFan wrote: The int'l box office fares much better for PC and VOTDT.

Re: Disney ditches The Dawn Treader
Disney made a huge mistake of releasing PC during the summer of '08 where megablockbusters (of the likes of Iron Man and Indy 4) roaming the box office.

Re: Disney ditches The Dawn Treader
I wonder how much PC would make if released during Easter time of 2008.
