Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair script is complete

The fourth Chronicles Of Narnia movie has taken a step forward, with the news that a draft of the screenplay has been completed. Screenwriter David Magee (who received Oscar nominations for his Life Of Piand Finding Neverland scripts) tweeted the news, writing "Completed the final draft of The Silver Chair today. I’ve had the immense pleasure to work on the project for over a year now. So fulfilling."

The tweet is no longer visible at his account, but the folks at Narniaweb have been in touch with Magee, and he's confirmed the news.

There's still a long way to go on this one, of course. The Mark Gordon Company is the new custodian of the Narnia films, and it has to decide if it's happy with Magee's screenplay, and then set about attracting funding and personnel. There's, inevitably at this stage, no firm timescale in place.

But it does look as if there's been progress on The Silver Chair, and as we hear more, we'll keep you posted. Thanks to Andrew Martin for the heads up on this one.
