Disney jumps ship on next 'Narnia'


December 24, 2008 While declining to elaborate, Disney and Walden Media confirmed Tuesday that for budgetary and logistical reasons the Burbank-based studio is not exercising its option to co-produce and co-finance the next "Narnia" movie with Walden. The third entry in the series, based on the classic books by C.S. Lewis, was in preproduction and set for a spring shoot for a planned May 2010 release. Further challenging "Treader" may be a waning of the pricey children's fantasy genre.
