The problem with using the "Chronicles of Narnia" series heading is people might go in expecting a continuation of the series that began with LWW. That won’t happen, and if they try to force a contrived connection between LWW and SC, it will lead to a pointless mess of a movie.

It is much better to present SC as either a stand-alone, or a fresh beginning to a new series of diverse stories (SC, MN, HHB) set in the same Narnia universe. Perhaps call it "Tales from Narnia."

The way I would present Tales from Narnia is to make an intelligent, exciting, mostly faithful version of SC; then HHB; then do a revival of the 2005 LWW in 4D (I don’t see why Disney and Walden wouldn’t take advantage of the chance to make a buck); then, half a year later, present Tales from Narnia: Magician’s Nephew as a companion to LWW.

Everybody is saying that it will be low budget… I thought Perry Moore secured funding mor TMN couldnt that be used for the Silver Chair.
I think it would be better to make TMN because the new Eustace would be to alot older in the last battle
I would love your input

I think leaving out ‘The Chronicles Of Narnia’, out of the title would be a very bad idea. Just like John carter, it was a good movie, but people didn’t know what is was about.
And beside what would critics say if they left the name out. As if the trademark Narnia is something to be ashamed about.
I don’t know if they will ever get to film all Narnia books. BBC failed too after 4 adaptations. What is needed urgently is promote the books better, cause most people only know the first.

As time has passed, I’ve all but decided that I want a complete reboot. Don’t get me wrong, LWW is one of my favorite movies, but I want to see an entire series of good adaptations, with good continuity. And I want to see VDT redone.

Yeah he doesn’t adapt books to film, he just uses the titles and a couple characters’ names. Definitely not what we want!

AA loved the books and mostly understood them. He got the gist of it, for sure. But Adamson missed some key themes. The emphasis on chivalry in PC is all but absent. The redemption theme is there but is not as emphasized. Also, the misunderstanding of lines like "Every time you grow, so shall I" reveals a lack of depth in understanding.
