Disney Won't VOYAGE On The DAWN TREADER!! Will There Even Be A Third NARNIA Film Now??

Merrick here...
For a variety of reasons, Disney has decided not to move forward with THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER. The project was in development under director Michael Apted (THUNDERHEART, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, HBO's ROME), who was working from a screenplay by EASTERN PROMISES scripter Steven Knight.

It is rare for a studio to pull out of a planned trilogy in midstream, but the number-crunching showed a franchise on a downward trend. "Lion" roared to $292 million domestically and another $453 million internationally in 2005. This year, "Prince Caspian" grossed a healthy $141 million in North America and another $278 million internationally, but that was well off the "Lion" take.
