The Chronicles of Narnia:

The film will be released by Mark Gordon Company together with Douglas Gresham and it is really possible that NO Walden Media involved. Life of Pi's David Magee  is set to write the script of the film while Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely recently shared their thoughts about Narnia 4 for they are not included in the film and they are writing scripts for Marvel Universe films (recently for Captain America: The Winter Soldier).

Actually, Keynes returned to school/university after the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader last 2010 and this gives him time to focus more on his studies in Cambridge University. Recently, Keynes was interviewed and talked about on what was it like to be a Cambridge student. 
Here's a small glimpse of the interview: 

BUSINESS INSIDER: While Emma Watson attended Brown, rumors spread that students would pipe up in class and say, "10 points for Gryffindor" when she answered a question correctly. Did you ever encounter teasing like that?


SKANDAR: Every so often a lecturer might pluck up the courage to make a little sheepish reference, but either they don't care or they are too embarrassed to mention it.

Cambridge has been a great environment to meet some really interesting people and freely discuss all sorts of ideas. Bouncing ideas around with top academics in the classroom or with fellow students in the pub has been incredibly fulfilling
