Director Andrew Adamson made a guest appearance at San Diego’s Comic Con on Sunday night, with some exciting news about the upcoming "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" movie. Here's an excerpt from an article:

"Opening the panel up to questions from the audience, they had another surprise in that the Weta guys had "Narnia" memorabilia to give out for the best questions. During the Q ’n’ A, Adamson answered the question on many people’s minds about whether the religious aspects of Lewis’ books will be prevalent in the film version. "These days, people either read it with the spiritual meaning that C.S. Lewis intended or they read it as a great adventure story," he said. "What I was really doing was making a movie that was true to C.S. Lewis’ book, so if you found spiritual meaning in that, you’ll find the same in the movie; if you enjoyed it as an adventure story, you’ll enjoy the movie as an adventure story."

After a few questions, Adamson presented a special montage of footage edited together especially for Comic-Con, including the normal disclaimer that it was a "work in progress." It opened with a scene of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver telling the children the story of Aslan’s return, followed by scenes of Aslan himself in action, and a few shots of Tilda Swinton’s White Witch and General Ottman. There were also a few scenes showing the build-up to the great battle that would be the climax of the film with Peter wearing his armor, eagles dropping rocks on soldiers, as well as the Gryphon and a few satyrs.

Adamson closed the panel by making it official that actor Liam Neeson will indeed be providing the voice for the lion king Aslan and that his parts have already been recorded."

There's also this:

So, what did Gresham (Douglass) think of the rough cut he saw?

Gresham said "It’s going to blow you away." During the evening, he also made the following comments:

"Absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful."

"Utterly spectacular. So powerful."

"Exceeded even my wildest expectations."

He described the death of Aslan as "staggeringly beautiful and incredibly powerful."

If the trailer is anything to go by, he is far from cheesy, especially compared to the Radio Theatre version.

I'm looking forward to seeing Disney/Walden's portrayal of Aslan. It should be interesting seeing if Liam Neeson can pull it off. :-k

I have only seen the previews, but the movie looks really good. I have read the books and know what it's about, but this sounds better. The artists had to create over 60 different species of creatures (All different...) Wow!!!

Overall, yes. Except for Aslan. His voice was awful IMO.
