Just a wild guess, as they seem to be in style. <P>I'd expect a CG-Gollum approach for Aslan now that the technique has been debugged and proven. I think it would work just like GollumStatue/Serkis. They'd scan a real lion, do some scenes with a real lion as appropriate, and then CG the rest. (I can hear the Lion-player now... "That's my spit!" Andy rocks...)<P>As for the order, the debate rages on, eh? Original order of publication versus Chronological order? (They do call it the Chronicles of Narnia, after all... and whether you go by English chronology or Narnian, MN does happen first. Publication order... well, if you were going to make all 3, would you show the Hobbit, first then LOTR, then the Sil? Or would you put the Sil first? And why?
