Now, due what they are calling “budgetary and logistical reasons,” the Mouse House is pulling out of the third Narnia installment The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
A triumphant return trip to Narnia that for pure imagination and spectacle ought to have your heart racing even more the second time around. It’s a visually stunning film, perfect summer entertainment for any age, young or old.
Director Adam Adamson has secured the four young stars of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to start filming sequel Prince Caspian later this year.
The Chronicles of Narnia does indeed capture a certain wondrous, fantastical imagination inspired by C.S. Lewis’ literary classics. But the film unfortunately also suffers from Lord of the Rings envy.
With superb performances marking a contrived story about a 17th-century Dutch artist and his muse, this film is not just for art lovers, it's for anyone who appreciates gorgeous filmmaking.
