I wasn't so confident about Sony as there was more info that wasn't included in the leaked emails, but I'm SO SO happy that it seems to be working out!
I have to admit I had kind of given up on news as DG had mentioned in past interviews that they were hoping for a Dec 2017 release, and the time for production to begin to make that date has come and gone (imho). So I'm very happy to hear that it hasn't gone by the wayside.
Ironically, I did have a little gleam of hope recently. I remember over 10 years ago, I heard about 'The Elfstones of Shannara' being purchased by some movie company. (If you've never heard of the Shannara series, the first book is a blatant ripoff of LotR, but the sequels aren't too shabby.) It just released on MTV, 10 years later as a TV series. I think this is the first time I have been aware of a series being purchased and then sitting on the backburner for several years. So yeah, gave me great hope for Narnia as that series is so much more popular.
Anyways... back to Narnia. Yay!!!!
I just pray that all of the companies pooling their money together have a similar vision for the adaptation, unlike what we saw with VDT where it was so divisive.
