SYNOPSIS

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, published in 1950, is the first and best-known novel in the seven-part The Chronicles of Narnia series, which has sold over 60 million copies and is currently published by HarperCollins. The project is the first in a series of films to be based on the best-selling novels by C.S. Lewis. It concerns a war between good and evil, pitting the magnificent lion Aslan against the forces of darkness in the magical world of Narnia. The White Witch has used her dark powers to keep Narnia in winter for 100 years, but it is foretold that four humans will be able to help Aslan break the spell. When the Pevensie siblings -- Lucy, Susan, Edmund, and Peter -- discover the magic of Narnia by entering the enchanted world through a wardrobe, the stage is set for a classic battle of epic proportions. McAvoy will play Mr. Tumnus the faun. Mr. Tumnus is the first creature encountered by Lucy, the youngest of the four siblings, when she first stumbles through the magic wardrobe and discovers Narnia. He befriends her with the intention of betraying her to the evil White Queen (Tilda Swinton), but is too good-hearted to follow through with the plan. The queen turns him into a statue as punishment.
