A still from the film The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Los Angeles:
The CS Lewis classic series The Chronicles of Narnia is set to get a new life on screen.
Sony-based TriStar Pictures is joining The Mark Gordon Company, The CS Lewis Company, and Entertainment One (eOne) to make another film The Silver Chair -- the second live action iteration of the literary classic, reports deadline.com.
Life Of Pi and Finding Neverland writer David Magee was already writing the script.
"Developing this project with The C.S. Lewis Company has been immensely exciting and a real joy. We are so pleased to team up with our good friends at TriStar and our partners at eOne to introduce this new, magical chapter of the Narnia franchise to fans around the world, both old and new," Mark said. The previous films grossed a collective $1.6 billion at the worldwide box office and they were 2005's The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, 2008's Prince Caspian and 2010's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The first two came through Disney, and the latter through Fox Studios in 2000. The seven novels in the series have sold over 100 million copies worldwide.
