eldritchhobbitThe latest news from NarniaWeb is quite interesting:
The big news of the Biola Media Conference is that Brian Cox is no longer doing the voice of Aslan! Apparently he has lost some weight and his voice has changed.
Reportedly, Jason Isaacs, Timothy Dalton, Sean Bean, Gerard Butler, Ian McKellen, and Ralph Fiennes have all auditioned for the part. No choice has yet been made. Stay tuned as we’re covering this breaking story!
Having to make that choice would be... a pretty remarkable challenge, I would imagine.
And now, a quote for the day:
"I like them to talk nonsense. That's man's one privilege over all creation. Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen."
from Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky

I like Jason Isaacs, I just don't know if I'd trust him as Aslan. I'd keep expecting him to like do something bad. (I've seen The Patriot one too many times) And much as I love Gerard Butler, he might be a little young for it. Who knows, only time will tell...

I think Jason Isaacs actually has a lot of range, if he could step out of the villain roles for a bit, but I understand that his typecasting hurts him a bit. (I think the same about Jeremy Irons, who has a splendid voice, but then again, he was Scar in The Lion King -- probably not a connection the movie should be making!) And Butler may be too young, you're right. It will be interesting to see what happens!
