Director Joe Johnston Will Retire After Helming C.S. Lewis' Narnia Film THE SILVER CHAIR
Director Joe Johnston recently attended Comic Con Paris to talk about his upcoming film, The Silver Chair, which is an adaptation of C.S. Lewis' fourth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series.
It was there that the filmmaker announced that this will be his final film that he will retire when it's complete. For the most part, I'm a big fan of the films that Johnston has made in his career and it's kind of sad that he won't make any more movies after he makes The Silver Chair.
Some of Johnston's most well-known films include Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, The Rocketeer, Jumanji, Jurassic Park III, The Wolfman, and Captain America: The First Avenger. In my opinion, the best film he made in his career, though, was a little movie called October Sky, which stars a young Jake Gyllenhaal. That's actually one of my favorite movies of all time. It's such a fantastic film, and if you haven't seen it, you need to watch it!
Johnston will start pre-production on The Silver Chair next summer and it will start shooting in New Zealand in the winter of 2019. The movie will be a whole new thing and basically reboot the Narnia film franchise.
Hopefully, Johnston ends his career on a high note with The Silver Chair! What is you're favorite movie that the director has made in his career?
