Narnia really can’t happen, guys, or at least I’d be damn surprised if they did. I’m a huge fan of the novels and the films, so I’ve been following the rights pretty closely since Dawn Treader came out. Disney doesn’t have the rights (which they gave up after Prince Caspian, hence why Fox made Voyage of the Dawn Treader), and they’re not for sale these days – there was a couple-year period after Fox gave them up that no one could touch them, but it’s over and Douglas Gresham’s working on getting The Silver Chair going somewhere. There’s no studio yet, just a production company (the Mark Gordon Company, or something like that), but given PC’s disappointing box office, I wouldn’t expect Silver Chair and, thus, the Narnia rights, to go back to Disney.
Personally, I didn’t really like Frozen all that much, so I hope there’s more of the Andersen story in the show than there was in the film. I know there’s virtually no chance of it being MOSTLY Andersen over Frozen (though in my honest opinion, popularity or not, it should be because this is a show about fairytales and storybook characters not Disney movies but I seem to be in the minority in believing that since so many people seem to want every Disney character ever just because. I’d be pretty annoyed, at least briefly, if Merida showed up (as an example), to be honest), but I hope they at least go into the fairytale a bit.
As such, I’d like to see her as a villain, yes, and played by Natalie Dormer, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a Frozen-esque redemptive arc for her as it’s probably a given. The Wicked Witch can get stabbed to death and die unredeemed, but not the darling of little girls everywhere.
