LA Times reports that FOX has agreed to step in on the next Narnia installment “Voyage of the Dawn Treader”.

Twentieth Century Fox has agreed to co-finance the third movie in the “Chronicles of Narnia” series, pending approval of the final script and shooting budget. If all goes as planned, Fox and Walden Media, which controls the movie rights to C.S. Lewis’ classic children’s books, hope to be begin production on “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” by late summer so it will be ready for holiday 2010 release

That’s right. They plan on start filming it late summer 2009 which means our dear Bin Bons has plenty of time to embark on some other projects, which leads me to ask you: What roles would you like to see Ben play?

Also, I have added this new picture of Ben from November 22nd, at the Make a Wish Christmas Ball thanks to Stephanie.

Hello everyone!

You were asking for an update, so here it is!
Still no news from the Narnia front, but things are looking good. Whenever we have any news we will let you know.

And since there is nothing to update about other than the cover art for the “Easy Virtue” DVD which will be released on March 16th (Thank God they changed the over-photoshoped picture of Ben!), I have added to the gallery a few beautiful HQs of the Press Conference for Narnia Ben did in New York in May which I believe we didn’t have in our galley. Enjoy!

The Holidays are finally over and here at benbarnesfan.com we are hoping that 2009 will be as awesome as 2008 has been for Ben!

And what a better way to start off by adding this new picture I have stumbled upon today. It’s gorgeous, check it out:

A few days ago we found out that Disney has pull out of the third Narnia installment “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” which was in pre-production and set for a spring shoot for a planned May 2010 release.

Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media have confirmed that for budgetary and logistical reasons the Burbank-based studio is not exercising its option to co-produce and co-finance The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with Walden.

Walden has a strong relationship with the C.S. Lewis estate and will shop “Treader” in hopes of finding a new partner. The most likely candidate at this stage is Fox, which markets and distributes Walden fare under the Fox Walden banner.Source

Thanks to Megan for the news tip and let’s hope everything turns out for the best!
