I adore the books, and the BBC TV series that was made in the 80's. I
really hope the makers of the film stay as true to the book as they can. I would hate for them to play around with the plot and the essence of the story just to get bums on seats at the theatres.
This makes me feel better about it though hopefully it'll mean most of the religious undertones will stay in

Is this going to be a secularized Hollywood version or will C.S. Lewis’ Christian themes stay intact?
It’s no secret that C.S. Lewis was an outspoken Christian and his faith was woven throughout everything he wrote. Narnia is no exception and much of the stories are allegorical in nature. Will Hollywood have its way and strip out Lewis’ spiritual messages? Not so, promises Douglas Gresham, co-producer and stepson of Lewis himself. A committed Christian, Gresham has vowed not to “change the words of the master.”
