No Dawn Treader? Boo!

Filed under: Uncategorized — MalSnay @ 12:01 am

I thought the recent movie adaptions of Narnia were sort of see-saw: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe was okay (but I still prefer the BBC), but I thought Prince Caspian wasn’t worth the time as much as I wished it would’ve been (I’m still trying to puzzle out the whole castle-raid sequence).

However, Voyage of the Dawn Treader was always my favorite of the books, and so I was even recently telling people who could be bothered to listen that it would probably be the first adaptation I would drag myself to the theater for.

Alas.

Disney and Walden Media announced yesterday that they’re ditching plans to produce a third The Chronic[what?]les of Narnia installment, subtitled The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studios cited “budgetary and logistical reasons,” even though the first two films grossed enough megabillions to clear a profit.

I was hoping for more Eddie Izzard as the voice of Reepicheep.
