Prince Caspian to begin filming in January and release 2008 (plus Voyage of the Dawn Treader confirmed!)

Here's some happy news for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia and the film version that was recently released of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe:

"... The Hollywood Reporter spoke with producer Mark Johnson and confirmed that the next Narnia film, Prince Caspian, will begin filming in the forests of Europe in January 2007. The film will hit theatres in Summer 2008."

"The magazine also added director Andrew Adamson and Johnson will produce the third filme, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a year after Prince Caspian..." [source.]

It should be fun to see Eustace get turned into a dragon, even if I have to wait until 2009 ... hey, I guess that means I have plenty of time to reread the whole series before it hits theaters. :-)
