The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Directing big-budget fantasy films can be taxing. Harry Potter seems to have a permanent rotation going and now Andrew Adamson is looking to step down from The Chronicles of Narnia to make way for a new director for the third installment, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Sticking to the role of producer, Adamson may have already found his replacement.
Michael Apted to Direct The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
According to AICN, Michael Apted will take up the director's chair for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The director of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER is... MICHAEL APTED!!!
Given Michael's upbringing in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England... Given that the first Narnia book was written when Apted was a strapping 8 years old... and continued to come out through him reaching the age of 13... the PRIME ages to have read that series... I'm betting that he's a huge honking NARNIA fan from the get go.
Though Michael Apted does have a couple bumps on his filmography, I am willing to let all that slide thanks to his involvement on a few episodes from HBO's incredible series, Rome.
