yeah, i'm hoping lewis' estate has a some leverage on the production. since walden media is, after all, a company that has strong ties to books... maybe they'll have respect for the source material.

without the allegorical elements included, i just don't see the story standing on its own very well. but, onodrim has given me some hope... the lord of the rings did indeed turn out better than i had thought possible.

i'm like some of you, i get defensive when movies are made of books i love... somehow i'm worried that if i see a bad movie, the books will forever be tainted in my mind. i know it shouldn't make a big difference... oh well.
