Screwtape Letters - The MOVIE!
Posted By Paul on February 6, 2007
Have you heard about this yet? They are making one of my favorite C.S. Lewis books, The Screwtape Letters, into a movie!
Walden Media, the family-friendly and just-a-bit religious company behind The Chronicles of Narnia, has announced plans to make another, non-Narnia film based on the works of CS Lewis. But this time, it’s the turn of The Screwtape Letters.
Still early stages, but they do have Lewis’ stepson Douglas Gresham, as well as Fantastic Four producer Ralph Winter (a Christian dude, by the way) along with Randy Argue on board so far.
Not sure how they will translate letters into a plot, but this is one movie I’ll be watching for!
(Hat Tip to Cranach)
I’ve never finished that book. It’s hard to read (in the sense that it’s so heavy).
I first read it when I was at Toccoa Falls; one of my favorite profs taught a class on the Oxford Christians, and while I was never able to get into the class, we did sit down quite often and talk about C.S. Lewis. She gave me a copy and I was hooked.
I do wish, though, that someone would turn Lewis’ sci-fi trilogy into movies. That’s a great series that seems like no one knows about.
