I think some of you will be happy with the last answer...

Now all they need to do is announce the rest of the cast and I will be a happy camper..;)

I'm mainly happy about the two before it!

How will that play with real fans of the original material?
Oh no, it will still be very much true to it and the C.S. Lewis Estate is assured of that. But there are lot of things when you go back and read it, a lot of stuff is suggested. And this really fills in a good deal.

So the C.S. Lewis Estate is a big supporter of the project?
They are our partners every step of the way. Every change we make, they are involved in.

It still makes me nervous that he says it will be made on his "recollection" of the book. That tells me he doesn't read it regularly like most admirers of the series. The recollection of most people who only read the book at some point and don't delve into it regularly is pretty bad, usually. The layers are too deep, it should be read regularly to be conveyed accurately. And CS Lewis's way of saying things is half the beauty of the books.... deeper magic before the dawn of time...
