Do You Want a Sequel?
Boxofficemojo.com is curretnly featuring a poll on the front page of their site asking the question whether or not people want to see a sequel made for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Voters must have an account with the site, which they can create for free. You can find the poll on boxofficemojo.com’s front page, by clicking here.
Of course we want a sequel! 🙂
Yes! Absolutely!
Let me think about it……..YES!
is that even a logical question to ask on Narniaweb? its a statement here, not a question 😀
Hmm, I don't know. I can go either way. If they stop now, it will make a decent "trilogy". Though part of me feels like, for all they've compromised in VDT to somewhat link it to and set up the Silver Chair storyline, they better make SC!
At this point, with all they've done, good and bad, if they make more, I think they should make all 7 books into movies and not stop now. Or consider rebooting the franchise… though that's what a lot of movie series are doing now a days and it's somewhat overdone now.
well, my first reaction was "Duh, yeah!", but maybe it would be better to do MN or HHB next…..but then again, if they put SC off Will would be in his twenties by the time they would pick it up again. So probably yes
It'd be best to do Silver Chair next, so that the kids' ages will still be appropriate. Since there's a span of several years between Silver Chair and The Last Battle, they could do the two side stories in between. Then the age of the actors shouldn't be too off the mark for the last story.
of course they need to make the next one.. so that it will be all set up to make the ones where the kings and queens are grown up in narnia… cant wait to see all of them made into movies… even with the compromises (so long as the heart of the story stays the same and liam doesnt say anything else stupid)

At first I thought they meant like, a 2nd part to VOTDT and then do SC, and I was like,"Um, probably no." But now I get it. I say Silver Chair should be next, then Horse and his Boy, then Magician's Nephew, and then Last Battle. Because if they do Magician's Nephew now, Eustace will be pretty old in Silver Chair like Annabeth said already. Plus the fact that they've already introduced Eustace (and he was awesome, I think there's not a single person who disliked him) so why not make Silver Chair! But I mainly hope to see them finish the whole series. I don't care what order they come in IF that's the case. And I have a strange feeling that Horse and his Boy will be skipped! I don't know why, i guess it's because no one is talking about that book. But if they do skip it, I will be VERY disapointed. It's not my favorite book of the series (Dawn Treader is 🙂 ) , but I do know it is a VERY good book. I comes third in my favorites.
Favorite in order:
1. Dawn Treader
2. LWW
3. Horse and his Boy
4. Last Battle (even though it was a bit confusing)
5. Prince Caspian
6. Magician's Nephew
7. Silver Chair
My faves are
1:VDT
2:SC
3:HHB
4:LB
5:MN
6:LWW
7:PC
fyi-
the poll is for "a" sequel. Doesn't specify which book. 🙂
YES of corse we want one !x
I would like to see The Horse and His Boy or Magician's Nephew next.
REALLY ????? Where did you hear about that !???? WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, this is just taking up space, but I like to list my favorite order too. 🙂 Of course it's hard because I like all of them for different reasons, but here goes:
1. HHB
2. VDT
3. LWW (actually VDT and LWW are tied)
4. SC
5. MN (SC and MN are tied too)
6. PC
7. LB (I'm afraid the first part of LB is much too depressing, the second part much too heart-achingly beautiful for me to enjoy that book very often)
And of course I want a sequel! I want The Silver Chair, and I want it now!!! Bring on Jill, bring on the Earthmen, bring on Puddlegluuuuummmmm!!!!!!!
A sequel as in The Silver Chair, or a direct sequel to the story of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader? If it is SC, then totally, completly YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1- HB
2- VDT
3- SC
4- LWW
5- MN
6- LB
7- PC
HHB is tied 1

Thats my order too lol 🙂
Yes Silver Chair please! But it needn't be called a sequel, technically speaking. Silver Chair must be next! Will Poulter is pushing on 18, have to capitalize on his performance now!
Yes and No. I defiantly want all seven books made into to movies and I am eagerly awaiting them to green light the next film. But it should not be made as a sequel. Although the story does progress with the books and some of the characters do repeat themselves these books are not really sequels. I recently reread the Silver Chair and I enjoyed my second reading of it so much more than my first. This time I was able and to enjoy the book for itself and was not trying to focus mainly on how it fit into the whole story. I still want the filmmakers to connect the stories, but part of the charm to all of the books is how unique they all are. I hope they can see this to and not try to make the same movie over and over again or—like film makers sometimes do—try to make the sequels bigger and flashier than the original.
Also I vote SC is next.
I would love a sequel! But rebooting the Narnia franchise should be considered. I hope Alfonso Cuaron would direct Narnia.
absulutely of corse it wouldnt be the sme world with out narnia so
YEEESSSS
YYYEEESSSS
of corse i definitely want more narnia
i really think that they need a new actress to play jill in the sc i reckon they should get some 1 australian and a girl who has never acted before but not too old
they shold dfinately make sc next no doubt about that
if they dont do any more narnia movies i would be so bored in this world
PLEASE make a more narnia movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
voyage of the dawn treader was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER 11 OUT OF TEN
ummm…let me think about it…hmmmm without a doubt YES!!!!!! of course, I hope they end up making the 7 films.
I am begging you to make a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just saw dawn treader which I have been waiting for AGES for and I loved it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please please please make all 7!!!!!!!!!!
oh, well then, heck yeah!
awesome pic, by the way. i love Reep. i don't know why HE doesn't have any fangirls 😀
Yes, I want a sequel. SC, then MN and HHB and then make LB last because everyone's ages would be right, as has been stated before. 🙂
The first part of "Last Battle" is so depressing that the end must be heart-achingly beautiful to make up for it.
Of course!!! Silver Chair was my favorite book, and it'll make a phenomenal movie.
LOL . . . if only mice had internet access. 🙂
1. HHB (High adventure with a purpose)
2. VDT (So many layers of meaning it can be read many times and still maintain interest)
3. SC (Darkly beautiful and rich in character development)
4. MN (Intriguing and definitely worth a read, but it isn't brilliant like numbers 1-3)
5. LWW (Good enough)
6. PC (only value is that it provides back story for VDT)
7. LB (waste of trees)
In my opinion:
#1: SC- Probably the best written of the 7, it's also a quintessential 'epic quest' tale, and has Puddleglum. Also, Eustace and Jill have one of the more dynamic relationships of any of the leading children.
#2: VDT- A meandering plotline actually helps heighten the sense of wonder and adventure. Brilliantly imagined, and it has a magnificent ending. And a most noble mouse.
#3: HHB- Just a straight up adventure. Errol Flynn would be proud. But you also have thought provoking relationships between Aslan and a couple of the characters.
#4: LB- Tragedy is underappreciated these days, and the first half is a tragedy almost fit to rival Tolkein's "Children of Hurin". And the ending is nearly as fantastic and thrilling as the ending of "Perelandra."
#5: MN- A fantastic origin story, conjuring images of both the Biblical Creation and "Ainulindale". Also contains an explaination of inter-world travel, doubtless the inspiration for countless fan-fictions.
#6: LWW- One of the most influential fantasy tales ever. More stiffly written and less vivid than the other books, but it has the most powerful imagery, and the most iconic images. (Lamp-post in the woods in winter, anyone?)
#7: PC- This one goes last because there's no where else for it to go. The story is a little convoluted, but this is probably one of the deeper books. It's just not as engaging, so it's not as easy to get deep in this one like it is in the others.
Why? That wouldn't help anything. Fans would like that to see a different artistic take on it but people who haven't read the books would wonder why filmmakers would do that. And rebooting the series doesn't mean they'll be better movies and possibly we would have to relive the days of watching and waiting to see if any more will be made. and we have three movies so why not keep going?
you called for a reepicheep fangirl???
LOL 🙂
I would like to see the rest of the series too – but CS Lewis wrote "You must get to know me by another Name in your world." That is our need. It would/will make no difference if there are no more films. Isn't this so?
i like the silver chair too,but my favorite is the magician's nephew.
Of Course!!!!!!!! I love the chronicles of narnia (books) and i love the movies!!!! i want to see more and more. I think the best option for a sequel is the Silver Chair and then the Las Battle, after The magician's nephew and after all the horse and his boy (maybe the Magician's nephew and the horse and his boy can be made just for dvd.. but please do it!!!!!) I LOVE NARNIA!!!!!!! LONG LIVE TO NARNIA!!!!
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE.
Right now, 50.6% said yes, 25.7% said no (jerks) and 23.7% said they didn't care (lowlifes). I hate to sound harsh but I would die if only three were made. I desperately want to see The Silver Chair come to life, it's my absolute favorite book in the world of literature.
FOR NARNIA, AND FOR ASLAN!!!
My favorites are:
1. The lion, the witch and the wardrobe; The voyage or the dawn treader; Silver chair; Prince Caspian; Last Battle; Horse and his boy; Magician's nephew
ALL THE BOOKS ARE TOO GOOD!!!!!
Narnia Rules!
PLEASE, no. And have to wait through 4 more movies to finally see a film version of HHB?
Besides look at what this film series has accomplished so far. LWW was brilliant. PC was by no means a great movie, but it was still better than that lame excuse for a book. As for VDT, you can't expect a feature film to do justice to the book. Like Homer's Odyssey, the structure of it is much better suited to a miniseries. I enjoyed the movie VDT as a sampling of the rich themes in the book. You got a taste of Magician's island, a spoonful of Dragon Island, a bite of Aslan's Country. You still have to go to the book for the whole meal, but given that it's a 2-hr movie, that's okay. My one serious issue was with the changes to the Lone Islands adventure. The scene where Caspian puts Gumpas in his place is classic. Why did they cut that out?
I've heard several people suggest the idea of a reboot. Could someone please explain the line of logic there? It sounds like a horrible idea to me, and a surefire way to fix it so that HHB never sees the light of day.
I'm not too sure. I wasn't too happy how they altered VDT by adding the swords and mist. I just wouldn't want them to screw up the others.
I just want a Horse and His Boy. Not really interested in any of the rest. I only want HHB if it's done like a sweeping epic. Of all the books, that one could be the Kingdom of Heaven meets Prince of Persia type classic with a mix of grand landscapes and grand ideals.
The Last Battle was a badly written piece of rubbish that I would rather pretend did not exist in the same world as the classic LWW and VDT.
SC and MN I would probably see out of curiousity but my main draws to Narnia were always Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. None of the other characters ever did it for me.
PC was definitely NOT a lame book and was far, far better than either of its movie adaptions. Unlike the Disney movie, the original book had some depth, it gave you something to think about, and the characters weren't all a bunch of jerks. It had adventure, not action; the Disney movie had lots of action, but precious little adventure.
No reboot though. Maybe a couple generations from now, once Fox finishes the series.
From a purely literary standpoint, I'd say LB was better written than LWW (with the exception of LB's the opening chapter, which should have been omitted and explained later). It wasn't a piece of rubbish, that's for sure, and I honestly can't think of a better, more powerful ending for the series.
I guess I'm too resilient to die over the absence of a movie, but if the rest of the series isn't made I will be very VERY disappointed, despondent, and devastated. So if the film-makers have any kindness in their hearts, they won't inflict such a cruelty on me. 😉
Yes! We have to have HHB! Now, I love SC, too, and I'm definitely going to see it if it comes out in theatres. However, the only one I'm really desperate to see is HHB.
If MN and LB come out, I won't even go see them. MN because it simply can't be adapted into a decent movie. Between the bold use of imagination, and the utter lack of plot coherence, the uninitiated might think the author was tripping when he wrote it.
If they adapt it faithfully, it'll be a lousy movie. To turn it into a watchable movie they'll have to change it beyond recognition, and that would be a disappointment too, because I like the book. It's a series of beautiful, meaningful tableaux, and I'd hate to see an action-based plot ruin that for me.
In the case of LB, I agree with you, it's trash. A sloppy rewrite of the book of Revelations with animal costumes. Taken on it's own merits it's a waste of time. Taken in comparison to it's source of inspiration, it's an insult to the Original Author.
i love narnia! hopefully they will turn it into real life for me : )
