Narnia franchise future hinges on Warderobe success

One need only look at Shrek or Harry Potter to see the huge potential of the fantasy film franchise these days.



Disney may have missed out on some of the other big fantasy series, but they don't intend to drop the ball with Narnia. The Daily Mail has added fuel to the rumors of a sequel, stating that Prince Caspian is already being planned as a follow-up to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Executive producer Perry Moore, who works for Walden Media, told the paper that a script for Prince Caspian is already complete, and that it was chosen as a logical sequel, as it features all four Pevensie children again.

"We want the kids back before they get too old to do it again," said Moore. "In Prince Caspian the story is set a year later and they're called back to Narnia in another crisis." Naturally, however, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe must have a successful debut in theaters this December before Prince Caspian can get the green light.

Speculating on the future of the series, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair are likely candidates for the third and fourth installments.
