Georgie Henley turned 9 while playing Lucy in "The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," so nobody needed to teach her about wonderment.
(Snip)
In case you don't remember the books' making you levitate with joy when you were a kid, "Lion" concerns British siblings who pass through an armoire into Narnia, where they battle the White Witch in the name of the noble lion Aslan. "We built the set for Narnia and we took Georgie up there blindfolded," says director Andrew Adamson ("Shrek"). "Then we just let her go.
What we got was not 'acting.' She was literally trembling with excitement." That's Georgie to your lower left, part of an exclusive first look at the cast.
"Lion" opens Dec. 9. Expect a PG smash that neither enhances nor ignores the book's Christian overtones—and is light on gore. Disney, teaming with Walden Media, will air a TV teaser simultaneously in more than 30 countries on May 7.
Narnia, here we come.
The Four Children:
The White Witch:

It's bee-yoo-tee-ful, Narnia lovers!
You have been pinged because of your interest in the upcoming Narnia film. Freep-mail me if you want on/off.
looks good!
I've got the little box set from my childhood, which wasn't all that long ago. I'll keep it in mind for a gift when my friends start having kids :)
I really wish I still did. It was, like so many others, my first introduction to "Jack." Over the years, I've accumulated so many books by him and about him, and it seemed kind of odd when I had to go by TCON to "complete" my collection....
Forgive me, it's Monday.
Are those real fur coats or faux fur?
The other day my son saw one of the big people books by CS Lewis and he shouted, "HEY - look - ANOTHER book by CS Lewis!" - I think he was hoping it was sort of a different series like Narnia and who can blame him after all.
I think Lewis would very much like that story...the serious stuff, that was his OTHER life. Mainly he was the Narnia author....
My son listens to the BBC CD's every night. We can't wait for the movie. I also told him recently that I was 19 when I read Narnia...he asked if my dad read it to me. No, I said, I had to read it on my own....it's so much fun to hear his perspective on life.
I think a certain Lion might like that story, too...
"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child does shall not enter it at all."
Looking forward to this. I must re-read the books soon!
