The Magic Recaptured
Kay Snyder

Great storytelling, impressive characterization, and memorable music... all features of a Disney classic. Can this be the one we've been waiting for? At the very least, it's a welcome respite from the hit-or-miss track record of the last decade.

Right Where He Wants to Be
Greg Wright

In preparation for the upcoming release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader on December 10, executive producer (and Narnia literary estate manager) Douglas Gresham is making the rounds for press interviews. Earlier this week, HJ managing editor Greg Wright had a chance to talk with Mr. Gresham for a few minutes over the phone.

Greg Wright: In your recent interview with Crosswalk, you talked about the process of working with a "group of people," what amounts to "almost an informal committee," that "decide what to do and what to put in the screenplay." Now three films into the franchise, is that process getting any easier? Are there fewer hands in the cookie jar?

Douglas Gresham: No, I don't think it's getting any easier. We still have the same sort of number of people, and we still have the same sort of problems. But it's just a matter of working through all of these things, stage by stage, and coming to a compromise decision in most cases. But you know, it's never going to be any easier because every book is different and every book has its own problems attached to it, especially when you start trying to convert it into a movie.

I remember Thanksgiving when I was a child. My mother would always have the dinner table decorated with a cornucopia, an ancient symbol of plenty. I hope that God has blessed you with more than enough this year-not only a great meal, but the joy of fellowship with family and friends, whether "over the river and through the woods" at grandma's house, or a nice quiet afternoon at home.


This week Hollywood Jesus has been blessed with a virtual cornucopia of news, articles, and reviews related to the upcoming movie, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Our managing editor, Greg Wright, had the privilege of interviewing Narnia co-producer and C S Lewis step-son Douglas Gresham (see above). I continued with the third and final part of my interview with Lewis scholar Will Vaus, as well as publishing my analysis of the recent Touchstone article, "Narnia Invaded." Oh, yes. There is also a review of the BBC Documentary, The Narnia Code, now out on DVD.


Plus, this coming week, our own Managing Editor, Greg Wright, will be participating in the press coverage of the Royal Premiere of Dawn Treader in London England.  Stop by frequently for HJ-on-the-street video coverage of the event, plus transcripts of press conferences with director Michael Apted and stars Liam Neeson, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Will Poulter, and more!

Here at Hollywood Jesus, we are committed to not only keeping you informed about The Dawn Treader, but also providing reviews and coverage you can't get anywhere else. Have some time on your hand this weekend? Check out the articles conveniently organized for you in Narnia News and Narnia Features.

Take Up Your Cross
Jacob Sahms

Now on DVD. Idris Elba is a bad man, but he's never been as conflicted as he appears in Luther about a man, a cop, and a murderer(?) who is one and the same. Elba needs a big-screen movie that's as big as he is.
