The problem with making sequls to the movie is that the religious symbolism got pretty obnoxious after a while. Is Susan still going to Hell for wearing make-up and being interested in boys? And then you get to The Last Battle, and it's like Lewis is hitting you over the head with a hammer while screaming "Revelation! Revelation!" in your ear.

Some people like it and some people don't. There is still no doubt in my mind that he is a wonderful writer though. Would I necesarilly go around being incredibly religous to everyone? nah. However, I still really like Lewis and I liked the movie.

IMO: I didn't really feel like there was that much of Lewis' religious symbolism in the first one. It was definitely toned down... enough that if you weren't looking for it, or didn't know it was there, you could just take the movie as an up-front, fantasy film (yay for alliteration).
So, I'm going to take a guess and say that they'll probably go the same route with any more movies they make and tone down the allegory.
As for an update on Prince Caspian; it has been given the GO.
- Adamson will be the director/producer/co-writer again.
- Mosely, Keynes, Popplewell and Henley will all be back playing the Pevensies.
