Chronicling The Voyage Of The Narnia Franchise

~On Christmas Eve Narnia fans were all snug in their beds~
~While visions of the "Dawn Treader" danced in their heads~

When Narnia fans woke up on Christmas Day and read The Hollywood Reporter article that Disney was "jumping ship" on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it was like receiving a giant lump of coal in their stockings.

What seemed like a calculated move by Disney to drop the bomb towards Christmas, which hindered Walden's search for another studio, hasn't seemed to deter Walden from aggresively looking for a place to dock "Dawn Treader".

A logical fit for Walden would be Warner Bros. who have gobbled up quite a few fantasy novels over the last couple years including: Terry Brooks' Shannara series, Angie Sage's Septimus Heap, as well as the announcement that they will be utilizating Baum's fifteen book Oz series.

Although they are acquiring quite a bit of fantasy properties, WB would love to get another fantasy series out immediatley with Potter winding down. WB was banking on The Golden Compass to replace their spectacled cash cow but the poor 70-million domestic take dashed their hopes.

Walden teaming up with Warner Bros could also mean that Thomas Tull's Legendary Pictures could flip some of the bill. Tull has made it quite clear that he is willing to get behind the right projects and Legendary's penchant for backing fantasy based features might bode well for Narnia landing at WB.
