I think Walden's VDT fell flat when Michael Apted was the director instead of Andrew Adamson. It wasn't the same without him!
I actually don't really see Christopher Nolan, best known for The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception, directing a Narnia film franchise. I don't see Steven Spielberg doing it, because he is a big time producer, with movies like Jaw and E.T. and Jurassic Park. I don't even see Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings Film Trilogy, doing it. I mean, nothing against any of those because they are great movie makers. Peter Jackson was unheard of when he directed The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and got most of it right. The Hobbit was well done from a cinematic view point but that's kind of besides the point. Christopher Nolan had his own take of Batman than Tim Burton, and capture the feel just right. Steven Spielberg had made some great movies, like E.T., Jurassic Park, and Lincoln. But I don't see any of them doing Narnia.
Narnia films won't be the same without Andrew Adamson. Though, I will greatly appreciate for whatever director the film series will have, that he or she has a creative vision. Perhaps, a lesser known instead of a big time Hollywood director would be nice for a change!
Any thoughts on a director for Narnia film series?
