VDT's release date delayed to 2010

According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, the release date for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has just been pushed back to May 7, 2010. Whether this is the result of the impending strike next year or not, we don't know yet (read more about the strike here). Also, this date has not yet been confirmed by Disney or Walden. As soon as we get more official news on this development, we will let you know.

UPDATE: ComingSoon.net is also reporting that the Dawn Treader release date has been changed to May 7, 2010.

UPDATE 2: We have received a confirmation e-mail from Disney.

UPDATE 3: Disney has sent us their official statement: In consideration of the challenging schedules for our young actors, Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media have chosen to delay the start of production for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" until summer 2008. The new release date for this highly anticipated third entry in the "Narnia" series will now be May 7, 2010.

Narnia Films to Go One After the Other Every Year
Disney will be doubling up on the Narnia films to get them out, and Gerard Butler may not be out of "Watchmen." According to IGN, Disney has already set a release date for "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" -- May 1, 2009 -- which is just under a year after the May 19, 2008 release of Prince Caspian. To achieve this, The Mouse is keeping the casts the same but having different production teams working on each. If it works, expect to see "The Silver Chair" come May 2010.(Buy your tickets early and save!)
