Q: What on earth does "LWW" or "LOTGK" mean?!?!
A: Those are common acronyms for the Chronicles of Narnia books, since they have long titles and its easier to type them that way. Here's a list of frequently used ones:
LWW: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
PC: Prince Caspian
VODT: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
SC: The Silver Chair
MN: The Magician's Nephew
HHB: The Horse and His Boy
LB: The Last Battle
CON: The Chronicles of Narnia
WW: The White Witch
LOTGK: The Lady of the Green Kirtle
Q: Is Disney the company who made LWW and PC making The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?
A: No. Disney is providing the financial backing for the movies, but Walden Media is the company that is actually producing it and deciding what goes in the movies.
Q: Are the original cast and crew members coming back for VodT?
A: Well, some are. Andrew Adamson, director of the first two films, has declined to direct VodT, which will now be directed by Michael Apted. Harry Gregson-Williams will also not be scoring, and that job will be taken on by David Arnold. Others from the original crew will continue on, though, namely Isis Mussenden, Richard Taylor, Howard Berger and others.
As far as cast are concerned, all will be continuing their respective roles in VodT, except for various members who are not included in the story line, such as William Moseley and Anna Popplewell.
Q: When will The Voyage of the Dawn Treader be released?
A: The movie is scheduled to be released May 7th, 2010, although this is definitely subject to change due to filming being pushed back.
Q: Isn't The Magician's Nephew really the first book? Why wasn't that filmed first? I'm so confused!
A: You've a right to be confused. C.S. Lewis wrote the books with LWW being the first, and PC, VODT, SC, HHB, MN and LB following in that order, but several years ago different publishers began to publish them in chronological order (MN, LWW, HHB, PC, VODT, SC, LB), causing great confusion among many people. Walden Media has decided to make the movies in publishing order
Q: How many of the books are they going to turn into movies?
A: No one really knows. Disney and Walden Media have stated that they would like to make as many as possible, and as long as the series continue to generate money, they will continue to make them.
Q: Can you give me casting information for VodT?
A: There's nothing we know at the moment, except that they are probably in the process of casting minor characters.
Q: What's the latest news about VodT filming?
A: Shooting is scheduled to commence on in January of 2009, with filming occuring in Mexico and Australia. No word if any filming will take place in New Zealand.
Q: Can you give me contact information (i.e. emails) for the cast or crew members?
A: I'm sorry, I don't have any personal contact information for the cast and crew, and even if I did I couldn't give them to you because that would violate their privacy. However, if you're looking for fan mail addresses, I suggest you look on any of their fan sites; they usually have that kind of information available.
