Walt Disney is to promote its $US100 million ($125 million) adaptation of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as a "Passion of the Christ for kids" in an attempt to secure worldwide Christian support for the film.

Disney executives have organised private meetings with several church groups in the US to emphasise the themes of Christian redemption and sacrifice contained in the film, which will open in December with an all-star cast.

They have also hired a public relations company to market the film directly to Christian groups to ensure that the powerful evangelical movement is happy with the content.

The film, which stars Tilda Swinton as the White Witch, will be the first in a series of Disney blockbusters inspired by the seven books in the Narnia series, whose author was known for his strong Christian beliefs.
Lewis made it no secret that the epic children's stories were Christian allegories and that the character Aslan, whose death and resurrection is pivotal to the saga, was a Christ-like figure

Just another Jewish attempt to invade Christianity. :mad:

I predict this will be one of the most anti-Christ movies ever made, and will be nothing more than a propaganda piece to recruit Christian kids to fight for the jews (enemies of Christ) instead of fighting for Christ.

What beloved, famed jew will play the Christ character?

.."The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" finds four British children stumbling upon a magical world, Narnia, during a game of indoor hide-and-seek. They learn that Narnia is in the grip of never-ending winter, and are enlisted to help free the land from the tyranny of the evil White Witch. The children will be played by British newcomers, but Narnia will be populated with noted actors as well: the White Witch will be played with panache by Tilda Swinton, and it was just recently announced that the magical lion Aslan will have the voice of Brian Cox (you might have seen him in "X2" or "The Bourne Supremacy"). At the helm is Andrew Adamson, the director of the two "Shrek" movies...

C.S. Lewis is still alive right? If so, what rights does he have to the movie?

C.S. Lewis died on the same day as President Kennedy. His heirs must have sold Disney the right to make a film from his book.

Wow, I was way off. :o C.S. Lewis is pretty sharp though. This much is clear if you've ever read any of his other books. I'm surprised that a film company is so willing to put the name of such an intelligent man in their film. After all, we don't want 'his kind' getting any recognition, right?
