You can see Lucy wearing these shoes in the &#8220;Crossing the Gorge&#8221; scene, &#8220;Campfire&#8221; scene, and many other scenes. The auction will run until June 20 at 10 PM ET and is open to anyone in the world.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a recent talk by Douglas Gresham, there will be no more Narnia movies until 2018.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis and executive producer of the Narnia films, has recently shared insight into the future of the Narnia film franchise.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.thelionscall.com/news/news_article.cfm?id=140" target="_blank">The Lion&#8217;s Call</a>, in a recent talk at Oxford, Gresham &#8220;was questioned on the future of the Narnia films&#8221; and &#8220;seems very keen to continue having them made.&#8221;</p>
<p>The moratorium period is now known to be <strong>7 years</strong>, meaning another film cannot legally be made without Walden Media until 2018 (assuming the moratorium period began just after <em>Voyage of the Dawn Treader</em>&#8216;s release). Gresham also indicated that he is interested in having future films made <strong>independently</strong> as opposed to hiring a studio such as Walden or Disney or Fox.</p>
<p>Book purists will be happy to know that Gresham is intent upon producing <em>The Silver Chair</em> next, not <em>The Magician&#8217;s Nephew,</em> and he expressed a wish to bring Andrew Adamson back as director.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Gresham says he is pursuing a film version of <em>The Screwtape Letters.</em></p>
<p>No more Narnia until 2018? What do you think about that? Discuss in the comments!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The film is expected to begin shooting in summer of this year. [Updated]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Empire.com <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0" target="_blank">posted earlier this week</a> that the long in development spoof film, <em>the Chronicles of Barnia: Animals Unite Against Evil</em> has been greenlit for shooting in summer this year.</p>
<p>According to Empire&#8217;s summary of the film:</p>
<blockquote><p>When a young piglet named Trudy (Zooey Deschanel) learns that she is destined to become bacon on her owner&#8217;s platter, she finds refuge in a magical barn filled with wonderful animals. When she returns to the real world, everyone ridicules her for telling crazy stories. Undeterred, Trudy finds herself facing a wicked darkness that lurks in the barn that threatens to consume all the land. Will the magical animals retaliate? Will Trudy become breakfast? Directed by the Farrelly brothers (Dumb and Dumber, The Three Stooges), the Chronicles of Barnia: Animals Unite Against Evil is an inspirational tale that proves that even the smallest piglet can make all the difference.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Barnia</em> will feature both animatronic animals and puppets. It is loosely based on a short story by Kristen Stewart (<em>The Twilight Saga</em>, <em>Snow White and the Huntsman</em>), who will be producing the film. Stewart reportedly wrote the story while watching the extended edition of <em>the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe</em> on ABC Family in December 2010. She described the story last week as being &#8220;like, you know, cool. And the animals know how to fight the, you know, the evil.&#8221; The film is slated for a January 2014 release date.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Boxofficemojo.com has <a href="http://www.idunnoitisverymuchtooearlyinthemorning.com/coolbeans" target="_blank">updated their schedule </a>to include <em>Barnia</em> for a slot in the December 6th, 2013 weekend and with a budget of $75 million. The film will be distributed by Lionsgate.</p>
<p><em>Thanks to &#8216;BuffytheVampireSlayer&#8217; for the heads up!<br />

<p><em>As everybody guessed, this was an April Fool&#8217;s Day joke. No worries if you weren&#8217;t fooled at all, I didn&#8217;t really expect anyone to believe it. <img src='http://www.aslanscountry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03//tongue.png' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> -Cy</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_11938" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 214px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-11938" title="MV5BMTU5MDkwNDg3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjI5NTIxNw@@._V1._SY314_CR8,0,214,314_" src="http://www.aslanscountry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MV5BMTU5MDkwNDg3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjI5NTIxNw@@._V1._SY314_CR80214314_-204x300.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Benedict Cumberbatch</p></div>
<p>Benedict Cumberbatch, the British actor known for his roles in <em>War Horse</em> and <em>Amazing Grace</em> (also directed by <em>Dawn Treader&#8217;s</em> Michael Apted), will be voicing two roles in <em>The Hobbit</em> films: Smaug, the dragon antagonist, and, according to IMDb, the Necromancer, or Sauron (the main antagonist in the <em>Hobbit</em> films and the <em>Lord of the Rings</em> films). He was interviewed today by MTV.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was very lucky [to work] with [director Peter Jackson]. As far as the experience, what an extraordinary one it was because at the time I was in my work; I was in isolation with him and this incredible tag team. And at the very cool place with that technology doing mo-cap for two characters, Smaug the dragon and another character, which will remain nameless, and it was an awful lot of fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also talked about the voicing process.</p>
<p>&#8220;I spent a lot of time recording voice as well as doing movements. So, it was sort of freeing; it was fun. It was like playing a game.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cumberbatch further assures us that <em>The Hobbit</em> is &#8220;going to be an amazing film; it&#8217;s going to be a real treat.&#8221;</p>
