Another quote from the article about the movie:
'Something classical'
Adamson won the allegiance of his adult actors, too. The magnficent Tilda Swinton appreciated the care he took in explaining the computer-generated backgrounds she played off as the Witch. "If you have a fancy enough palace, you don't need to shout," Swinton says.
Swinton praises her director for creating "something very classical. What you get is pure snow-covered birch forest, pure '40s children, pure faun with a red muffler." And she's grateful for what Adamson didn't do. It must have been very tempting, she says, to tread where Lewis feared to go and enter the private conversation between the White Witch and Aslan. It also would have been disastrous.
After all, she asks, "What do the epitome of all evil and the epitome of all good actually say to each other when they stand next to each other?" Adamson stays outside their tent. "This way," says Swinton, "there's a sort of rigor in it, so it's still magical - it still presents a question for children to work out for themselves."
Swinton now has one great wish. Adamson didn't take her punk suggestion of signing Marilyn Manson for the soundtrack. Yet she hopes to play the White Witch again in a movie of Lewis' LWW prequel: "I want him to make The Magician's Nephew."
I wonder if any of the Baptists on this forum would want Marilyn Manson, the guy who preaches open hatred for Christians and Christianity at his concerts babysitting their kids? Maybe he will get the sound track for the next movie.
