Anyway, I wonder if they'll bring back Peter Dinklage for Trumpkin and Ben Barnes for Caspian?

Then I began to think about it, I'm glad that someone is taking an interest in the Narnia stories and wants to make movies. I am sort of concerned though, because reading the list of Mark Gordon's jobs on IMDB, I didn't see anything I recognized as a kid's movie. However, I think they do not have the same excuses to change up the plot line as the did for Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The Silver Chair has a plot that builds up to the climax, it does not sidetrack off to other characters like PC or read chapter by chapter like Voyage. Every child can identify with it because everyone wants to escape bullying and prove they are brave (which is exactly what Jill and Eustace do). At the same time, Lewis, being a professor, has Aslan give Jill an assignment, to memorize the four signs. I really hope they will keep this in because memorization is hard, and it's is nice to pretend that when you have to memorize other things for school, that you are really Jill and memorizing the four signs.
Then there is Puddleglum, I think there is a lot of opportunity for him being sort of an icon of the movie, because of his very characteristic and interesting personna. I wonder if Douglas Gresham was serious when he said Andrew Adamson would make the perfect Puddleglum?
Also, the SC is just plain fun, there are talking animals, parliaments of owls, gnomes, underground caves, giants, a snowball dance, and Bism.
The Lady of the Green Kirtle is also a very iconic character, I think it will be easy for them to make her every bit as creepy, if not more creepy, than the White Witch. After all, if it's a choice between being enchanted or turned to stone, what would you rather have?
But the key, I think, for making the movie, is that Jill and Eustace are given a task. The story revolves around them trying to stick to a task, which is another thing every child and every grown-up procrastinator can relate to. The moviemakers may be tempted to have Jill and Eustace, sort of fall into the story, rather than being breathed into it by Aslan. They'll probably be tempted to take out the scenes with Aslan saying "There is no other stream." and Caspian being awakened by blood from Aslan's paw.
I hope they will remember, that if Aslan had not been there, Eustace would literally have fallen into Narnia, and the book would've been very short.
(Am I going overboard with these puns?)
I also hope, that even though we all love Tilda Swinton, that they will not have her return as either Jadis or the Lady of the Green Kirtle.

He's among the lines of what I would like Rilian to look like (not like Fili, like Dean)

Actually there isn't a release date yet. But I wouldn't imagine it coming out anytime before 2018, but I could be wrong

I kind of pictured the guy who plays Arthur in Merlin. I don't know what his real name is. I also imagined the same guy as an older Cor.

Jill. What I wouldn't give to be Jill. Unfortunately, I have never been in a film before, have no agent, and can't even imitate a British accent. (Is there some small chance that maybe Jill is American and she's recently moved to England?? 
) I think the girl who played Jill in the BBC SC was excellently cast. That's quite how I imagined her in the books. Very plain, normal looking. Dull brown hair. Straight across bangs are a plus. Just very...ordinary. You know?
Rilian. I so hope that this Rilian isn't creepy like in the BBC SC!!! I don't know what was up with him. And I hope he's blond.
I agree with you about both Jill and Rilian. And did someone mention a hope that Rilian would be like Legolas? My mind also went immediately to Orlando Bloom as Rilian, though I'm sure he never would do it. I do think that Camilla Power (in the BBC productions) was a great Jill. She endowed Jill with that straightforward quality that I always imagine her to have. As for Puddleglum, I think in many ways he could be the easiest character to cast. He would be a gift to any actor worth his salt. What I wouldn't give to be Jill. Unfortunately, I have never been in a film before, have no agent, and can't even imitate a British accent.
