A week before Christmas 2008, Disney backed out of their deal with Walden Media to produce the third installment of the Narnia franchise.The Chronicles of Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader was saved by Fox. The company has worked with Walden Media in the past and now into the future.
The cast and director were kept intact by this move: Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes as well as the director Michael Apted. Our favorites return when filming begins sometime in summer of 2009 in Australia.
The expected date of release is Christmas of 2010 which is a far better date then earlier in the year: May of 2010. The film will now not be competing against Iron Man 2 and other major Hollywood releases for which curtailed the earnings of Prince Caspian (which was an excellent movie, btw).
