the chronicles of narnia

I don't know about anyone else, but I am quite excited about the new adaptation of C.S. Lewis' The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Director Andrew Adamson (Shrek, Shrek 2) has a lot on his plate portraying this vast imaginative world but the production shots bode well. The casting seems to be pretty spot on too. Edmund, Lucy and Peter, are pretty much exactly as I imagined them with only Susan being a bit off. Jim Broadbent as Digory and Tilda Swinton as Jadis, however are beyond perfect. Aslan - the voice of Brian Cox and Liam Neeson are both credited for this role on imdb - will be the hardest to incarnate, as he is, of course, a Lion. An unknown actor in this case would be an excellent choice. I just hope this movie does well enought that they'll make The Magician's Nephew and The Silver Chair (books one and six respectively).
