Narnia 4 Possibly Still Be in Limbo for 2013

It's more than 2 years since the last Narnia film adaption (The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader) was released in the big screen. And since then was never followed by the adaption of its supposed next sequel, The Silver Chair, after it performed below expectations in the United States although it did well in the international box office. Many fans have accepted that the Voyage of the Dawn Treader may finally be the last Narnia film under Walden's Production.

However, there were plenty of news in the industry that Douglas Greham, Narnia film's co-producer and C.S. Lewis stepson was planning to start the production of the next installment in another three or four years time which he confirmed in May 2012. Greham announced that he would like to make The Silver Chair next as an independent film, while Michael Flaherty, President of Walden's Production want to do The Magician's Nephew instead, thus putting everything in limbo.

In December 6, 2012 though Michael Flaherty talks about the future of the Narnia movies in an interview for the December issue of World Magazine:

So, with revenue going down and production costs remaining high, so what’s next for the Narnia movie series? 

There are multiple opinions on all this and a lot of different players: The C.S. Lewis estate, the studio, our company—and we’re not all of one mind. I would love to find a way where the economics work, acknowledging the decline. I’d like to do The Magician’s Nephew. Other people want to do The Silver Chair, and there’s disagreement about the economics and the overall vision of where the franchise should go next. My hope is that we may all become of one mind, but unless something providential happens there, I’m focusing on a number of other stories.

So, at this moment, no deal? 

Nope.
