The film rights to C.S. Lewis' "seven-part fantasy book series 'The Chronicles of Narnia'" have been bought -- "with plans to develop it into a franchise, beginning with the children's classic 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'" (Hollywood Reporter).

Didn't public TV do something with that stuff? I've never actually read Lewis, but as I understand it, the whole thing is a Christian allegory. Interestingly, Lewis and Tolkien were great friends. Tolkien looked up to Lewis, and his encouragement was an important factor in the genesis of Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was supposedly a devout Catholic, but he spawned his own mythology, and claimed that he hated allegory.
