Fox Picks Up "Narnia" Film Following Disney's Departure
Thu, 29 Jan 2009

"Narnia" fans need not fear; the fantasy film franchise has been picked up by 20th Century Fox, a month after Disney pulled its plug.

Fox will help develop the third in the franchise, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader."

Last month, Disney abandoned the franchise, leaving Walden Media with no co-financier. Fox now comes into the picture and take Disney's place, picking up the film through its Fox Walden department.

Michael Apted is still aboard to helm. Ben Barnes, Skander Keynes and Georgie Henley will reprise their roles as Prince Caspian, Edmund and Lucy. Will Poulter, from "Son of Rambow," will join the cast as Eustace Clarence Scrubb.

"Dawn Treader" is being scheduled for a November 2010 release. The studio hopes to start shooting in Australia this summer.
