Podcast #106: Silver Chair Movie Wish List
We do not expect to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair hit theaters until at least 2017, but it is never too early to hope and dream. Rilian and Glumpuddle each share 3 things they would like to see in the film, and then read some desires other NarniaWebbers have sent in.
What do you want to see (or not see) in the movie? Post a comment below!

Will Poulter back as Eustice
Puddleglum. Puddleglum. I can't emphasize enough that they have to get Puddleglum right. Otherwise, the whole movie will flop.
There are a ton of thing that I really want to see in this movie, but if Puddleglum isn't right, then it will fail in my eyes.
Thanks for continuing to put out podcasts all these years, guys. Keep up the good work!
I'm with glumPuddle on this one. I think its important that the characters from our world are children. Having 20-somethings go to Narnia just doesn't feel right. That means recasting Eustace.
I'd just like for them to keep the allegory and the themes in tact… the last three were… idk… this one would be hard to take if they messed it up because it's my personal favourite. I rewatched the first two felt two as an adult 'icon-Disney slapstick' to take seriously… and I'm afraid of rewatching the third.
I just hope this one isn't screwed up and the allegory isn't thrown out the window. Because these stories are priceless <3
I'd honestly just like to see DreamWorks Animation get the rights, and for them to start over at the beginning and animate the whole series. They proved with HTTYD 1 and 2 that animation can be beautiful and adults can appreciate a well developed, deep animation film and animation doesn't have to be 'just for kids' or crappy π Narnia animated would be breathtaking, if given the right director… and then we wouldn't have to worry about ageing for the kids especially with the character jumping we get in the books π
I want the movie to be as close to the book as possible. Too many things were changed in the last three. Please keep Liam Neeson as Aslan. And please keep Will Poulter as Eustace.

I like how you included more fan comments in this one. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that.
Outstanding. I agree with just about all your comments. This movie should be a character study of Jill, not an action movie. Keep the major studios away from the film except for distribution. Studios will want control of the script. Follow the book. Most of the dialog should come straight from the book. We only need to see the green witch at the bridge and at her castle.
I would like to see the actors be young, but that is impractical. Young actors can only work four hours a day and need tutors and handlers. To keep costs down the film would need actors over 18. A little older actors are much better actors. Very, very few nine year old actors can really act. For example, as good an actor as Georgie Henley is, on LWW she did not quite hit the mark at the Stone Table.
I agree that the more money spent means that they are more likely to mess with the script. I would like to see beautiful sets though. There is no reason to shoot on location (more money).
I would like to see the guy that played john carter play prince rillian….tilda swinton too
I would like to hear the book commentary on The Horse and His Boy next on the podcast. It's my favorite book. Plus, we'll be discussing SC more and more when we get more movie news.
I think: What, the movie of narnia crΓ³nocas; the silver sedan that ….. the producers, must fall to new actors and Jill Pole Eustace; and the Green, Witch antua already in the new production. the chronicles of narnia the silver saddle in ' 2015, and 2017 aparescan yet; a few, trailer; the chronicles of narnia, chair of the money.
I don't know, I see your point on the hours, but, I have seen plenty of good child actors. I think there may be ways go get around the hours though. Or they could have doubles.
I agree with casting older actors.
There are plenty of older actors and actresses who can come across as teens/tweens. It all has to do with their acting skills and the right costume/make up and of course their physical build. They can't be too muscular/busty lol
If they can find a great child actor then well done otherwise, they shouldn't disregard talented actors who are in their 20s.
As much as I want to see Will Poulter come back as Eustace, his role in We're the Millers has spoiled it for me lol! I'm afraid that if he comes back as Eustace in SC. all I'll see is Kenny the virgin lol!
Of course, I'm sure he's a brilliant actor and can make it work. It would honestly be weird for anyone else to be Eustace. Especially for those narnia fans like me who are not so familiar with the books (I've only read SC once).
I would like to see Will Poulter as Eustace and a cameo appearance from Tilda Swinton as Jadis as a spirit taking possession over The Lady of The Green Kirtle who I think Cate Blanchett should play…she looks similar to Tilda
Yay, new podcast! π Amen to Puddleglum not being a gloomy character.
I honestly would be really surprised if they cut out the bullies' comeuppance at the end. This is primarily because I fully expect the filmmakers to expand on the Experiment House scenes at the beginning of the movieβpartly due to the fact that we need to have a better understand of Jill as a character and to establish how utterly alone and faithless she is, but also because bullying is always a popular theme in family films. If they introduce the bullies and the dire circumstances at Experiment House at the beginning, then I think the movie would feel unfinished if they ended it without offering some resolution to that situation.
It's also important to include the part with Caspian as well because without the scene where he comes back to life… well, the movie would have a rather sad ending. Caspian's just died in Narnia, leaving a grieving son and kingdom behind. The joy of finding out that Caspian is all right and the sweet justice of the bullies getting their socks scared off are largely what gives the book a happy conclusion. It's also one of the three times where Aslan appears in the book; they really don't want to cut it out for that reason.
So, keeping my fingers crossed that the filmmakers include both in some capacity. I don't think the movie would have a very satisfying ending if they didn't.
Yay, I'm so glad Rose sent in this wish, because it is mine exactly. ^__^
I know; I thought of that when I saw your new thread in GMD the other day! Great minds think alike, lol. XD
I'm surprised they said the scene where Aslan talks to Jill had the most important dialogue. Aslon has some great lines, like the one about swallowing up kings/emperors/realms, etc., but Rilian's are more important to me. π‘
I dread them skipping through the "there is no Narnia" scene! @__@ How could they even dare? It's integral to LotGK's role in the story.
I too, want to see Caspian's resurrection scene in the movie.
Caspian's resurrection, the rock-throwing giants,and eel stew
Stay faithful to the book. I was so disappointed in VODT. They strayed so far away from one of the best fantasy's ever written and made a horrible movie. I'd like to see Will Poulter back.
I'd like Will Poulter back as well. I don't mind if he's slightly older. I lose patience watching kids on screen. Reading is a completely different experience.
Even for the Horse and His Boy, I hope they pick older kids for Shasta and Aravis.
Ahh can't wait for Horse and His Boy!
And yes, I think Shasta and Aravis should be in their late teens in the film.
Nah, live action is better to bring Narnia to life. Anyway, they've done a great job with effects and appearance in the films. They just have to get the story right!!
Yeah they should get actors in their late teens/ early twenties to play Shasta and Aravis. BUT that doesn't mean they should make it all lovey dovey and add a blossoming romance between them. I would cringe if that happened. They clearly have a love/hate relationship. I'd like to see them as close friends who bicker a lot and then add a wedding scene at the end of the film and then their crowning as king/queen of Archenland and then the birth of Ram the Great.
Since Hollywood is obsessed with kissing (ahem..PC…) I have to say that I hope the Jill Pole and Eustace relationship remains platonic. They're can't be a kiss!!! PLEASE DON'T LET JILL AND EUSTACE KISS. It will ruin everything.
If anything, it's Shasta and Aravis is Narnia's only 'love' story.
I think there are plenty of good child actors. Take Game of Thrones, for instance. The 3 main child actors playing Bran, Sansa and Arya are really good. In fact, either Sophie Turner (Sansa) or Maisie Williams (Arya) would make a good Jill Pole, but by the time they will shoot this film, they may be too old.
I think Gene Wilder would be a perfect Puddleglum. I still love watching him as Willy Wonka!
I want to see what happened to the 4 pevensies (peter,susan,edmund and lucy) and also eustace:)
I would love to see Pierce Brosnan as Puddleglum. I think he'd be perfect.
I would want to see Eustace recast. Will Poulter kind of drove me crazy in the first one and he's just too old to be believable anymore.
Liam Neeson HAS to stay as Aslan.
And keep the script accurate! There's more than enough book material – BBC's adaptation went 2.5 hours and that was with a bit of a choppy feel.
At least 2.5 hours if not three. I couldn't believe how short VODT was – not even two full hours. You can't do a Narnia story justice in under two hours – you need to do 2.5 hours at least.
A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do believe that you should publish more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo
matter but generally people do not speak about these subjects.
To the next! Kind regards!!

I want it to be a long movie. I know some things have to be cut – but don't cut it to 2 hours. Puddleglum needs to be right, and the scene of him telling the Lady of the Green Kirtle that there is a Narnia, and even if there isn't he's going to look for it – *has* to be in there. Jill can't be too snooty, and don't even think about making a romance between her and Eustace. I want SC to stay true to the book. There are a lot of allegorical references as well. Don't loose them.
^ I didn't know he was still around. Now that you mention it, I think he would make a great Puddleglum.
Gene Wilder is 81, so probably a bit old for the part. In fact he's older than Tom Baker, who played the part in the BBC production in 1990.
Now that I am somewhat older since the first two movies came out, I can look back at them and see them from a different perspective. I really feel like they could have done a LOT better with the first two movies. They seemed to strip them of their classic "British" feel (a feel that The King's Speech did phenomenal on), not to mention that they were directed by someone who created a crude green ogre and couldn't seem to handle the seriousness of live-action. And yes, creating a Susan-Caspian he-loves-me-she-loves-me-not romance was TOTALLY uncalled for and really dishonored Lewis's intention for the stories. I agree with getting older actors to play Jill and Eustace. I'd say somewhere between 15 and 18. It's just my personal opinion that they need to give the rights to some other studio and start from scratch; staying true to Lewis's vision of the stories. Yeah, take some artistic license and fill in the gaps. But not to the point where we hate the movies.
And unlike most people (again just my personal opinion) I believe that Tilda Swinton was a BIG miscast as the White Witch and the character wasn't scary at all and was nothing more than a new-age fashion statement. And I'm no actor, but I also detected that William Mosley and Anna Popplewell couldn't act by the time the second movie rolled around. Will is just to nice of a guy to play a conceited jerk. And Anna's part felt kinda forced.But this could just be poor direction. Feel free to disagree cause maybe it's just me.
Hurrah, that's what I was looking for, what a material!
present here at this web site, thanks admin of this web
page.
I think Tilda was definitely scary. Sure, she's a little more seductive than expected in a children's story but that adds to her evil charm. (And anyway Narnia is for all ages.) I even felt a maternal nature in her when she first met Edmund. She did a great job acting. A fashion statement? True, her entire ensemble is similar to what you would see on a Chanel runway lol but sometimes being ugly and grotesque isn't that scary, it's just unappealing to look at. Overall, she did a great job.
As for the Pevensies – Will is great as a conceited jerk and also a caring brother. In fact, for the first two movies I wished that the four kids would stop bickering and get a long as siblings who've grow closer to each other during such adventures. None of the Pevensies are very good actors but they play their part all right and altogether make a nice story.
Anyway we won't be seeing much of the Pevensies until they film the Horse and His Boy. That is my favorite book and I hope they make it after SC!!! I know it's mainly about Shasta and Aravis but they could also shine some light on the Pevensies as Kings and Queens and give them a second chance to bring their characters to life.
Yes indeed.
I really want Will Poulter in the movie again! He was a wonderful Eustace! I would like to see Time asleep please!
I love your movies.
From Amisadai
I hope they bring back all of the children from the previous films. I also hope that the scene where the witch turns into a snake will be scary. C. S. Lewis did say that all the other children were out of school except Eustace and Jill. I also hope they keep the scene where the owl picks Jill up out of her window out of the castle.
YES! YES YES YES! it completely agree with you Kalie Marry!
oops I meant I
The Horse & His Boy is definitely an opportunity for the Pevensies to grow as characters and actors. I too hope they make that after The Silver Chair.
I hope that Prince Rilian will be better in the new movie than in the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre. He was a bit overdone in that drama (his voice was irritating under the Lady's enchantment). I liked the Focus on the Family version otherwise and hope that the new film will adapt the story just as well.
Getting a good biok on this type of business helos too, as well as access to

be a successful company. You see videos, forujm posts and
other testimonials about this, but this iis the real deal on how tto make money every week.
Will Poulter is staring in the Maze Runner that was released Friday morning
It is rated pg
Yes i hope he does. the only problem is, is that who knows what he'll look like and he might be too old for Eustace. π
They have to recast Eustace. Puddleglum ideas: Geoffrey Rush or Tom Hiddleston?
I wanna see myself as Jill Pole in Narnia.Too bad I can't.
I hope this movie won't be a flop. Keep Will Poulter as Eustace. I've seen the Maze Runner and he hasn't changed that much. Please keep all the big characters in there, including the bullies. I think all the people doing this movie need to read the book before they write the script. I love the Silver Chair and I hope it doesn't end up like Prince Caspian. Please do the part where they scare the bullies at the end, that was my favorite part. Try to keep the film as close to the book as possible, but don't make it boring. If it isn't going to be close, I'll be mad. Please keep out the "word" Jill said in the first chapter if you know what I mean. No love story whatsoever. NONE!! PLease also make the part where Prince Rillian's mother, Lilliandil, dies. DO NOT RECAST EUSTACE! An idea for Jill is Sophie NΓ©lisse. Please make this a good movie! Please also make the lady of the gk have blonde hair. Thank u! π
Btw to everyone out there. I'm 13. π
Don't ask where I live because I'm not telling.
I'm going to try some of the faces
