One Narnia movie every year until 2013?

One Narnia movie every year until 2013? July 29, 2007

That would seem to be what Douglas Gresham promised the fans at Comic-Con, according to the brief summary at IGN.com.

UPDATE: MTV Movies Blog indicates it may have been producer Mark Johnson, and not Gresham, who made these remarks. Meanwhile, get a load of what director Andrew Adamson said:

Comparing his work on “Narnia” to that OTHER long running fantasy series, Adamson insisted that future “Narnia” films will be both more consistent and more faithfully inclusive to the source than “Harry Potter.”

“‘Harry Potter’ is a different [animal],” he said via satellite from Prague. “C.S. Lewis wrote more efficiently [than J.K. Rowling]. We have a chance to embellish, [not exclude].”

Does anyone really want to argue that the embellishments that we saw in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — or that we are likely to see in Prince Caspian — have made the Narnia movies more “faithful” to the books than the Harry Potter movies?
