A film about the masters of Fantasy literature. The story of Lewis' and Tolkien's friendship. Excerpt from: JACK AND TOLLERS " JACK AND TOLLERS is the true story of the friendship of Lewis and Tolkien.  It will give you a glimpse into the souls of these incredible Men of Letters. Until now, there has never been a major motion picture depicting their unique friendship.  For the global fan base of both authors and indeed the fantasy genre itself, we are excited to say that the time has come to move forward into production. We at Third Dart Studios are making a Teaser Trailer, a vehicle to illustrate our story to the world.  We are using Indiegogo specifically to allow all those who will journey with us to show in concrete terms how important this film truly is for them. " "THIS IS WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU: Help us keep our story true.   Help us make the memory of these two men one that will shine throughout history.  Right now, as we write this,

NewStateMan.com's Rowan Williams posted last December 3, 2013 about the reason why Lewis write The Chronicles of Narnia and here's an excerpt: "Why the books go on working so effectively is no easy question to answer. It isn’t every reader, even every Christian reader, who finds them instantly compelling. Yet they bear many re-readings, and constantly disclose more things to think about. In this brief guide to some of their themes, I don’t intend to try and answer the question of why they are popular — though there are some obvious things to be said. I am more interested in what precisely C S Lewis thought he was doing in writing the books in the first place." Read the whole article here:  Why did C S Lewis write the Chronicles of Narnia? Many things to think about reasons why C.S. Lewis created the world of Narnia. As we (Narnians) know that when mr. Lewis was a teenager, he thought of a picture of a faun carrying parcels and in his adult years where

Last November 22, it marked the 50th death anniversary of the Narnia author C.S. Lewis as well as the american president J.F. Kennedy and the author Alduos Huxley. November 29 (today) marks the 115th birthday of C.S. Lewis. What would it like be if Lewis is still alive today? Although that's really impossible. Lewis was born in Belfast, November 29, 1898. What books by him are you reading in his 115th birthday? 50 years of living and enduring legacy special video presentation

Hours before John F. Kennedy's death, the Narnia author, C.S. Lewis died and that was just a week before his 65th birthday. Douglas Gresham, remembers the death of his step-father, C.S. Lewis: according to  Independent.co.uk  , "It was a cruel blow," he says. "Most of us regarded him as a great hope for Western civilisation. But it was only the first blow of the day. Soon any thoughts about Kennedy would go completely out of my mind." A little over an hour later, Gresham was doing homework inside a classroom away from the main school building when an unusual sound alarmed him – the urgent steps of high heels coming down the path outside. "I have no idea why, but I knew immediately it was for me," he says. "Pam, the headmaster's daughter, had come to fetch me. My stepfather had died."

"Why Narnia Still Matters Today" from Time.com Last November 22, 2013, C.S. Lewis reached his 50th death anniversary along with John F. Kennedy and Aldous Huxley. Time.com posted about "Why Narnia Still Matters Today" and here's some excerpt: "I first read  The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — the first installment in Lewis’ seven-part Chronicles of Narnia —  when I was eight, and its effect on me was profound. That was the book that taught me what novels were: how they worked and what they were for, namely to whirl you out of this world in a storm of words and take you somewhere gloriously vivid and interesting, where, through some mysterious Deeper Magic, you learned something important about the world you’d just left. It is, apart from everything else, an allegory of reading itself: the wardrobe’s doors open like the cover of a book, allowing Lucy to disappear inside, like a reader into a novel, or at least a good one, which  The Lion, t

Today, November 22, 2013 is the day that C.S. Lewis  reaches his 50th death anniversary. This is the exact day when the former US president John F. Kennedy was assassinated. 50 years it's been but not like the other past authors, C.S. Lewis is still famous today (alongside with his friend J.R.R. Tolkien) and his legacy lives on. One of the main reasons of Lewis still being popular and known today in our generation is because of his most famous work, The Chronicles of Narnia which have been adapted to theater plays, audio-books, tv series and even in films. Narnia is also considered as one of the best books written for children of all time and a children's classic preferably The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but as you read the Chronicles, you will also realize that there is more adventure and message than you ever thought when your parents used to read it to you. I would also like to add two more of his famous works, Mere Christianity and the Screwtape Letters. Not to me

Beloved Christian writer C.S. Lewis died on the same day—November 22, 1963—as President John F. Kennedy and the novelist Aldous Huxley. While Huxley is now largely forgotten and Kennedy remains a symbol of lost promise, Lewis lives on through his novels, stories, essays, and autobiographical works.
