The next film in the Narnia franchise, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Silver Chair, the fourth in the series, will reboot the franchise and will have a new director and new cast, so says producer Mark Gordon.
Speaking with Collider, Gordon said that we could see the film start shooting very soon.
“We’re hoping to be able to make the movie very shortly,” states Gordon. “We’re very excited about it.”
David Magee, who wrote the Academy Award-winning Life Of Pi, has scripted The Silver Chair. Despite the fact that the movie features Eustace Scrubb, played by Will Poulter in the last movie, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, it seems that Gordon and co. are going with a completely new cast, despite Poulter’s star shining brighter than it has ever been (he appears in this weekend’s big opener, The Revenant).
“No, it’s all going to be a brand new franchise,” confirmed Gordon to the site. “All original. All original characters, different directors, and an entire new team that this is coming from.”

Yes, because there’s nothing the fans love more than to see a franchise that they love changed completely. Hey, it worked out great with The Amazing Spider-Man, I hear a third movie is going to be made any day now…

No, no, no, no. Don’t you dare change anything in the series. I oppose this decision
