Step through the wardrobe and enjoy this piece of Narnia Fans history. In Episode 22 of Narnia Fans Cast, Andy Filipovich, John Burkitt, and London Boothman ring in the New Year with a discussion of the latest Prince Caspian developments, including updates on William Moseley’s preparation for the sequel, reports of additional filming in Slovenia, and news surrounding the Extended Edition DVD of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The hosts also explore the intriguing possibility of what the first Narnia film might have looked like had acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro accepted the director’s chair instead of Andrew Adamson, imagining how his distinctive style could have reshaped the tone of Lewis’s world. The episode also features “The Fishing Hole,” another heartfelt installment from John Burkitt’s Byron on Wells, continuing the gentle adventures of the riverbank community. In the second half of the show, the hosts debate whether talking animals and mythical creatures are indispensable to the identity of Narnia, reflect on how different directors can shape the spirit of an adaptation, and close out 2006 by sharing their personal New Year’s resolutions.
