Reasons to be cheerful – films for later this year

Writing about web page http://www.disney.co.uk/DisneyMovies/narnia/global/index.html?subSection=init

Two films to get excited about:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – looks fantastic and is apparently a lot darker than the Gene Wilder version.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – oh joy – Casey pointed me to the website for the new Disney film. I so hope that they get this right and don't sweeten it.

It will be a pleasure to see messers Dahl and Lewis take on that jumped up nobody Potter and kick his insubstantial butt into some generic fiction hell.

Nice to see WETA involved in the narnia project – with Lord of the Rings behind them this should be quite a ride. Lets hope they can get the whole series of books done – including Magicians Nephew, though I have never met anyone else who has read this one.
