If we don't hear any news about a new film by the end of the year, then I'll give up. Walden, PLEASE GIVE US NEWS!

I think I really "gave up" on the series when I was walking out of the theater after watching LWW. I did not like that movie. I've grown to like it, but at the same time, I have never been fond of the movie franchise.

However, I am still a Narnia fan. Which means I'll analyze every trailer, view every movie poster, wait eagerly for news no matter how long it takes, and reread the books once or twice a year every year. And, like johobbit and Mountie, "I'm going to live like a NarniaWebber even if there aren't any more movies."

Question: "How long will it take you to give up on the series?"

Answer: Honestly...I think I'm there. As I was walking out of the theater for VDT, I felt like Narnia had just died. I was really disappointed in VDT, it felt like all the good parts where in the trailers and spoilers. But still, I agree with Daughter of the King, who summarized it well:

Narnia, R.I.P (shrugs and walks out of thread..)

Oiii... That's a toughy. I guess the most honest answer I can give is never. (If you mean how long it takes for them to make another film.) My hopes will probably fade, but there will always be something in the back of my mind that will keep hoping. It's just the kind of person I am.

I nearly gave up on JP4 when some of the producers mentioned that it might not be made, but there was still a part of me that's been hoping, and waiting... and waiting for Narnia 4 (oh how I hate using that to refer to it) somehow reawakened my hopes for a JP4... not to mention the news out of Comic Con. And that there's been ten years.

Even now I still hope Animal Planet may one day reboot Meerkat Manor- even though they've officially canceled it.

So in truth based on what's happened to me before I probably won't. I might give up if they did make a Narnia 4 and butchered it beyond repair or forgiveness, but even then I'd just as likely be hoping that someone makes a decent Narnia 5 or a reboot.

However Narnia does mean more to me than the Walden movies, there's the BBC series, which though I have major qualms about... they're growing on me. There's the books, which will be around for many years to come, and there's NW which... well suffice to say I'm as much a fan of NW as I am of Narnia.

I'm not giving up just yet. Walden hasn't announced the 3D blu-ray editions of VDT on its website yet, only the ordinary ones. Everything there on that site seems either something already well in progress or something completed, rather than announcements of new ventures.

Amazon won't release the 3D versions until after August 30th. And so until then I am waiting and seeing what transpires on August 30th, a good fortnight away.

Meanwhile, there is still plenty to entertain on NarniaWeb in the Spare Oom, if not elsewhere. Astronomy, Books, including the Narnia books, and much else. Films we have just seen and even Harry Potter, LOTR and other favourites. No archaeology yet, but never mind.

And what if nothing happens? Well as wolfloversk and Aslan's child say, the answer might be that I'll never give up. I've waited half a century to see the Narnia movies that have been filmed, and I expect that sooner or later at least one of the other four will be done somehow or other.

I have not given up hope and I probably never will!

...Of course I'll come running back the second there's news.

And, yes, we will always have these delightful, thought-provoking books. *has an urge to re-read*

This is a very loaded question - have a given up on Narnia movies? Never.. I will always be hoping for another Narnia film, be it next year or 20 years from now. Do I think the current Narnia franchise is done?....yes. I'm about out of hope. Its been 8 months since VDT opened at the box office and I'm really feeling that we should have heard something by now. I'd be thrilled if a new film was announced soon, but I've started to feel that it just won't happen. If the current franchise has run its course, then I think that we will see a reboot at some point in the future. More along the lines of 10-15 years than 25 years in the future.

I'm calling it, doctor.

It's over.

Anticipating these adaptations was a wild seven-year ride.

We ended up with two decent films and one piece of trash.

Time to move on.

I think I'll go re-read the books now. Further up and further in!

I shall never give up. I'm stubborn like that I am still holding out for another movie!

I think I've pretty much given up on the series, at least for now. At the beginning of the summer I said that if we didn't hear anything by the end of the summer I'd start to worry. Now I'm back in school. What a disappointment after seeing LWW do as well as it did, only to have the rest of the franchise slowly loose momentum and die.

But... with so many years ahead of us, I think eventually more movies will be made. So, I'll never truly give up hope.

Just a thought- Wouldn't it be funny if just when everybody has given up, Walden announces that Narnia 4 has been green-lit?

Summer (or winter down in the Southern Hemisphere) doesn't stop officially until September 1st, the usual calendar date for marking autumn (or spring in my case). And winter down under, judging by yesterday's chill factor, isn't anywhere near over. emijoy, you said if you hadn't heard anything by the end of summer, you would give up. You still have almost a fortnight to go yet.

We ended up with two decent films and one piece of trash.

Now that is a mite harsh. VDT is a veritable pearl of a film compared to some I've been dragged off to see or which have been aired on television, especially in the non-ratings period. Journey to the centre of the Earth, for example. And your poor impression of VDT doesn't mean that future Narnia films wouldn't be better adaptations of the books they were based on.

As far as I am concerned, 'it ain't over until the fat lady sings'.

In my heart, I've already given up. Probably around July sometime. The fact the VDT was disappointing started me down the "I really don't think I care" path.
But my mind knows there's still a bit of hope. and if there is another movie, there is a decent chance it will be better adapted.

I keep telling myself that other franchises have had comparable breaks between movies, followed eventually by another film despite fan worries.

This movie series is over already, so much for a "Trilogy"

I have honestly been avoiding the GMD section of the forum lately because everyone's been so gloomy I really wish there wasn't this sort of depressing feel to the movie discussion

if ya'll have given up, then that's fine. it's been a while since we've heard anything about what comes next. but it would be really nice if we could just all come in this section of the forum and chat about the stuff that we have seen instead of grumbling about the people who made the movies. I mean, they don't know who they will and will not please with whatever they do.

*puts on her Rapunzel face from "Tangled"*
can we please just be a bit more happy?
