• The day after the Lord of the Rings' Oscar sweep, Walt Disney Studios said it will back another fantasy saga about war between good and evil. Disney agreed with Walden Media on Monday to co-finance and distribute a live-action version of C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. "I think this is the kind of movie audiences are looking for," said Dick Cook, Disney Studios chairman.

I, for one, can't wait. Let's just hope all the recent mess at Disney doesn't screw it up.
