News > Disney out for Next Narnia FIlm

Disney has bowed out of being involved in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with Walden media due to budgetary and logistical reasons. According to THR.com Disney declined to elaborate we do know that it has been confirmed at this time.

The third entry in the series, based on the classic books by C.S. Lewis, was in preproduction and set for a spring shoot for a planned May 2010 release. The development puts the participation of the talent attached in doubt. Michael Apted was on board to direct a script by Steven Knight. The key players of the second installment, "Prince Caspian" – Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell – were to return for the third film.

Walden has a strong relationship with the Lewis estate and will shop "Treader" in hopes of finding a new partner. The most likely candidate at this stage is Fox, which markets and distributes Walden fare under the Fox Walden banner.
