NarniaWeb Interviews ‘The Lion Awakes’ Screenwriter
Posted March 8, 2012 11:59 pm by glumPuddle
We recently asked co-screenwriter Darren Scott Jacobs some questions about his upcoming film The Lion Awakes, which is currently scheduled for a 2013 release.
The story will center around C. S. Lewis’ early life, and mark the first time J. R. R. Tolkien has ever been portrayed in a feature film. For a more detailed synopsis, visit the official Facebook page. According to co-screenwriter Dr. Louis Markos, in the film we will see “through CGI and other things, the rich imagination of Lewis and Tolkien that is going to end up resulting in ‘Narnia’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’”
A few highlights from the interview:
- Darren hopes to begin filming late summer/early fall in Oxford University.
- Casting queries for the role of C. S. Lewis include Henry Cavill (who will play Superman in the upcoming reboot), and Tom Hardy (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises).
- He would love to be a part of the next Narnia film, and does not think they should skip “The Silver Chair.”
