So much for one Narnia movie per year.

So much for one Narnia movie per year. September 19, 2007

Remember that promise the producers of the Narnia movies made to the fans at Comic-Con two months ago? (Okay, technically it wasn’t a promise, but still…) It’s off now, says Variety:

The third installment in Disney and Walden Media’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” franchise, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” will sail into theaters in 2010, rather than the previously announced 2009. . . .

“Dawn Treader” release has been delayed because the start of production has moved from January to summer, pushing the fantasy pic’s release to May 7, 2010.

Franchise’s producers had announced at Comic-Con this summer that auds could expect a “Narnia” installment each May as adaptations of each of the seven books in the series are produced.

But that plan proved too difficult to pull off.

Date shift comes in response to “the challenging schedules for our young actors,” Disney and Walden said, and will help avoid a potential conflict for the cast members between shooting the third pic and undertaking promotional activities for the second.
