Absolutely NOT.
Jun. 18th, 2010 10:43 pmI have now seen the trailer for the upcoming Voyage of the Dawn Treader film. And they ain't getting my money. I'm considering writing a plaintive letter to Douglas Gresham to ask him why he's permitted another travesty.
( Cut for the spoilerphobic. )
Addendum: As a Christian, I have no problem with the allegory inherent in the Chronicles. I know some people do, and that's fine. But I would like to note that Lewis did not write the first book as a Christian allegory. As he said himself, the motif of the sacrificed-and-resurrected god is found in many places, including the Norse mythos that he loved his entire life. He didn't even intend The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to be an allegory, it just came out that way. The rest of the series was consciously written as such, but not the first book. *shrug*
