Narnia: The Witch, the Lion and the Wardrobe

The avertisedment read: Joel Siegel Presents Andrew Adamson & The Chronicles of Narnia with Joel Siegel & Andrew Adamson. All right I'll bite, I thought to myself. It isn't everday you get to see a movie before it's released.

The Film

Director Andrew Adamson’s five year project Narnia is a fantastical tale filled with discovery, betrayal, unity and love. This movie, while as true to the book as possible, has a few of Adamson's creative additions. The storyline, consists of four children being sent to a relation's home because of a war in England. The Youngest, Lucy discover the portal to Narnia, a magical world of talking real and mythical creatures. A prophecy, an evil witch and so much more. This is a family film for ever member of the family. Their is plenty of action, realistic special effects and incredible drama scenes. My recommendation? Run don't walk to see this movie! Its a hit.

  While everything ran smoothly throught the production Adamson and his team did face a few challanges. The most challanging of them all... casting the roles of Peter (William Moseley), Susan(Anna Popplewell), Lucy(Georgie Henley) and Edmund(Skandar Keynes). Together they saw a total of near 5,000 potential candidates before making a selection. “I knew as soon as I saw each child that they were who I was searching for. Although, casting the role of Edmund took longer than the others, they’re brilliant. I wish they could have been here.”
