"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" has sailed past some rocky shores since Disney dropped its role in the "Narnia" series. Since 2oth Century Fox joined, Walden Media has now had the chance to actually get a writer for the movie.
According to Latino Review, "Michael Petroni has been tapped to write the next installment in 'The Chronicles of Narnia' franchise, reports the trades.
Petroni will write 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' for Walden Media and Fox 2000. He will take over for Richard LaGravanese, who penned the most recent draft of the C.S. Lewis novel.
Move signals that Walden is moving full steam ahead on the third chapter in the franchise with its new Narnia studio partner, 20th Century Fox. In late December, the project seemed in doubt after Disney decided to pull the plug on co-financing the pic.
Walden is eyeing a summer start date for a holiday 2010 release through the Fox Walden label."
Do you want to see more "Narnia" films or do you think three will be enough (there are seven books in the series)?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
