Prince Caspian to set sail in '07
With The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe continuing to rake in money, you knew that Disney would go for a sequel. It looks like they will follow the traditional order of the series. Prince Caspian is set for a Christmas 2007 release.
For better or worse, the LWW team will basically be in tact. Andrew Adamson will return as producer, along with the principal cast. According to the story, a screenplay is not yet written but production is set to begin this year.
The first Narnia movie continues to cement its status as a blockbuster - ranking as Buena Vista's top-grossing live action film internationally ($359.4 million), currently it is Buena Vista's the third highest grossing live action film domestically ($278) and it is on pace to break both Buena Vista's domestic and worldwide live action box office numbers. Currently it has brought in $637.8, behind Pirates of the Caribbean ($655).
Adamson will be a busy man. He is also in the beginnng phases of Shrek 3.
Let's hope they put more effort into the script, and more money into the special affects this time.

Speaking of which: I can't believe the Academy nominated the Jesus Lion for special effects and ignored the Star Wars film. Remember that next time you guys dis Hollywood as anti-xian!
