Duncan Jones (Source Code, Warcraft)
His first feature length film, Moon won him numerous accolades. He's got a really promising future ahead of him depending on how well Warcraft is received. Plus he's worked with Mark Gordon before on Source Code.
Gabor Csupo (Bridge to Terabithia)
Bridge to Terabithia was one of those films that really resonated with me. The themes of imagination, friendship and escapism are very present in the film. I'm not familiar with any of his other works though.
Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are, Her)
He's been nominated for a few Academy Awards. His name has been tossed around before to direct SC based on the work he's done with Where the Wild Things Are. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out!
Susanna White (Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang)
She's mainly done work directing British television, which has won her a BAFTA. At this point in her career she would jump at a chance to make a big budget live action film like Narnia.
Mathew Vaughn (Stardust, X-Men: Days of Future Past)
He needs no introduction. Stardust is the one of the best fantasy/sci-fi films in the last 20 years. Crazy talented.
Kevin Lima (Enchanted, Aladdin, Tarzan)
The mastermind behind some of Disney's best animated films. He also knows how to direct live action very effectively. He's won the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing for a Children's Program. Going through his IMDB page, the man hasn't made a bad film. Can't go wrong here.
Kenneth Branagh (Cinderella, Thor)
I hadn't thought of Kenneth before FriendofNarnia2 linked that interview with him talking about Cinderella. Soon after that I went out to see the film and was very impressed. Now im really interested in the prospect of him directing SC. He seems to get what Narnia is about.
Other potential directors:
Chris Noonan (Babe, Miss Potter)
John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks, The Blindside)
Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
Paul King (Paddington)
