Narnia Trivia

Reading an Entertainment Weekly article and found some interesting tidbits about the new Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.
1. In 2001, Walden Media, paid $70 Million dollars for rights to the 7 book series. Walden is owned by Philip Abnshutz, who is known for his Christian faith.
2. Adamson, the director is from New Zealand. He directed Shrek. He says he's "interested" in spirtuality... His parents, Methodist missionaries, gave him the Narnia series when he was a child and he "stayed in that world for months."
3. Susan is played by Anna Popplewell, who played the female lead in "The Girl with the Pearl Earring."
4. Edmund is played by Skandar Keynes, the 14 year old great-great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin.
5. The budget for the movie was $180 Million (and possibly more).
