I was then contacted by Disney telling me the rumor was "entirely false" and that I had no integrity in posting it. Rude comments from the magical world of Mickey Mouse aside it now seems like the rumor may actually be true, at least for current Narnia producer Mark Johnson who, according to First Showing made an appearance at the New York Comic Con this weekend that they have "no plans" at the moment to continue on past Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Seems interesting doesn't it. I hope my integrity is still intact with this article as well.

It makes perfect sense for the series to end after three films since the majority of people hardly know the "Narnia" series outside of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I have already seen a massive decline in interest in this summer's Prince Caspian compared to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I can't see it increasing all that much more for Dawn Treader. Also, once Dawn Treader starts shooting later this fall for a May 2010 release the kids are going to be considerably older and might not fit the roles they originally started.

Who knows, money and success breed sequels, and if the next two Narnia installments are successful I think the franchise will continue in some shape or form. Perhaps they could bring George Lucas in to create animated films.

Hopefully this post will be followed up by a threatening email from Disney telling me how I have no "journalistic integrity" and how I should go to the studio before posting such a story. Because they are more than happy to give me all the information on all projects. Yay!
