Just a few quick updates, if I may \u2014 belated though one or two of them might be.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/a> Eagle Eye<\/a><\/i> co-writer Travis Adam Wright has been hired to write the script<\/a> for Warner Brothers\u2019 adaptation of Here, There Be Dragons<\/a><\/i>, a novel that casts real-life authors C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams as heroes in a fantasy adventure of their own. When I first mentioned this project nearly four years ago, it was going to be produced by Harry Potter<\/a><\/i> producer David Heyman and The Dark Knight<\/a><\/i> scribe David Goyer, but the only producer named in the current news story is Rick Porras, a co-producer and second-unit director on Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings<\/a><\/i> adaptation (2001-2003).<\/p>\n

2.<\/a> The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader<\/a><\/i> is hopping on the 3D bandwagon<\/a>. The film, which was shot in two dimensions, is one of at least two<\/a> that 20th Century Fox will convert to 3D before their release in December. (The other such film is Gulliver\u2019s Travels<\/a><\/i>, starring Jack Black.)<\/p>\n

In other news, CT Movies<\/a> ran a curious story last month that gave the makers of Dawn Treader<\/i> several opportunities to assert that they had learned their lesson and would be more faithful to Lewis\u2019s novels following the box-office disappointment that was Prince Caspian<\/a><\/i> (2008). The thing is, no less an authority on these films than co-producer Douglas Gresham had said only a few months earlier<\/a> that the changes to Prince Caspian<\/i> were justified but the changes to Dawn Treader<\/i> might not<\/i> be so justified. If CT Movies was aware that the filmmakers have been sending out mixed signals like this, they didn\u2019t bother to pursue that angle.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
