The project is "The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair," an adaptation of the next novel in author C. S. Lewis' seven book series. Originally published as the fourth book, it is now often packaged as the sixth book in the series.
The film would follow on from 2005's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," 2008's "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" and 2010's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".
Following the $745 million worldwide haul of the first film, the next two films underwhelmed at the box-office domestically. Yet both were still big hits internationally, and earned global totals of over $420 million each. The whole series has also performed extremely well on home video.
'The Silver Chair' is set decades after 'Treader'. Eustace Scrubb and his friend Jill Pole are brought to Narnia by Aslan to find the missing heir of a now elderly King Caspian. The missing Prince Rilian disappeared while on a quest to find the green serpent that killed his mother. Eustace and Jill set off to the giant-lands north of Narnia to find him, and encounter the Lady of the Green Kirtle and a young man who must be bound nightly to a magical Silver Chair.
Gordon, Douglas Gresham, stepson of series author Lewis and Vincent Sieber, will produce.
No word yet as to who might direct. Since so much time has passed between films, there's no word if they will keep with the original cast of kids: Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell
Really? Wow, I never thought they'd continue with these after they failed so hard with Dawn Treader. I wonder if they'll recast Eustace or just make him older. I barely recognized him in the We're The Millers trailers.
