Forget Simba... Here Comes Aslan

Sweet:

Walt Disney Studios has sealed a deal with Walden Media to
bring to life a live-action film version of British author C.S. Lewis'
classic children's fantasy The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the
Witch and the Wardrobe. Per the deal announced Monday and trumpeted
Tuesday in a series of nationwide newspaper ads, the Mouse House will
cofinance and distribute the first installment in the Narnia series,
which will have a budget of more than $100 million and be directed by
Shrek mastermind Andrew Adamson.
[...]
If all goes as planned, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will start
filming in late June or early July and is targeted to hit theaters in
Christmas 2005.
