Ralph Walden Productions have been encouraged by the huge $744 million that
The Chronicles of Narnia grossed worldwide for their studio, that they have splashed out to buy the rights to another
C.S. Lewis novel, this time
The Screwtape Letters. More info from
Coming Soon...
First published in 1942, The Screwtape Letters takes the form of a series of missives from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his wannabe diabolical nephew, Wormwood. As a mentor, Screwtape advises his protege on the finer points of undermining faith and promoting sin. His instructions are interspersed with observations on human nature and Christian doctrine. More religious overtones? Can't wait. Seriously though, let's hope they do a better job with this than the first Narnia movie. The current plan is for it to be released after the Narnia sequel
Prince Caspian which should hit theatres very early in 2008. source -
