Today, Captain America director Joe Johnston has announced that he’s taking the helm of the project.
But now everything seems to be in order, and The Silver Chair is on the horizon, chronologically the sixth book in the series and the first since The Magician’s Nephew not to feature the Pevensie children.
While C.S. Lewis’ groundbreaking Chronicles of Narnia has seven books, Walden Media has only managed to make three of them into movies.
The first three Narnia movies focus mainly on the Pevensie siblings’ adventures, but The Silver Chair will branch off from that, keeping their bully cousin Eustace (who, after Voyage of the Dawn Treader, is now a nice guy), and introducing a bunch of new characters.
