Back in 2013 it was revealed that The Mark Gordon Company had reached an agreement with the estate of C.S. Lewis to adapt The Silver Chair, with Life of Pi screenwriter David Magee brought in to write the script for the next instalment in The Chronicles of Narnia.
We’ve heard very little since then, but now Collider has an update on the project from producer Mark Gordon, who has revealed that the new film will serve as a reboot to the franchise.
“We’re hoping to be able to make the movie very shortly,” states Gordon. “We’re very excited about it. It’s all going to be a brand new franchise. All original. All original characters, different directors, and an entire new team that this is coming from.”
The Narnia film series launched in 2005 with The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and was followed by Prince Caspian in 2008 and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2010. Between them, the three films have grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide.
