Announced: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Recently the next step in the Narnia series has been plotted. With a winter 2010 release date The Voyage of the Dawn Treader marks the next logical step for the Warner Bros. backed series. Directing this time is Michael Apted and the screenplay was penned by Christopher Markus who wrote the teleplay for the Life and Death of Peter Sellers, a fantastic film, as well as the Lion, the witch, and the Wardrobe.
In other new Christopher Markus has been set to write the screenplay to the Captain America film tenatively titled "The first Avenger". With comic book legend Jack Kirby working on his characters and Hidalgo Director Joe Johnston set to direct; this film could be absolutely explosive if the casting is done with care.

The voyage of the Dawn Treader is a great book and is packed with magical creators. The film should be rather expensive to film and thus the visual spectacle will likely be on high. Several of the past two films cast have already been inked to return and the film is set to be a very fantastic outing. The trouble is once again, where is the Magician's Nephew? One can only hope that Warner Bros. will get to work and find a way to make the film version of this great book.
