Good news Narnia fans. Fox has picked up financing where Disney left off. Disney bailed out after the second Narnia didn't make as much as the first even though it was still in the top 10 movies for the year globally.
Sounds like Disney was just looking for an excuse to get out as profitable franchises aren't exactly growing on trees if you ask me.
Fox and Walden will split the projected $140 million budget. The next movie will be based on the book Dawn Treader.
The goal for Dawn Treader, a more family film-friendly book, is to focus on the magical elements of the first movie.
The franchise's stars, Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley, will reprise their roles alongside Will Poulter (Son of Rambo), who will join the cast as Eustace Clarence Scrubb.
Michael Apted will direct the movie, with Mark Johnson and Andrew Adamson producing.
