In the official "Narnia" newsletter sent out today, its been revealed that acclaimed thespian Brian Cox ("Troy", "X2", "The Bourne Supremacy") has been cast as the voice of Aslan the Lion in Disney's major upcoming adaptation of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe". On the casting of Cox, producer Mark Johnson says "Brian has an amazing resonance to his voice, a certain majesty, which suits Aslan perfectly...I've always found Brian to be so versatile...we first talked to Brian about the role of Aslan maybe nine months ago, and I'm so glad it worked out". Filming is scheduled to wrap shortly in New Zealand where the shoot has been taking place for months now. Expect it in theatres next Christmas. Thanks to 'Paul'
