Isn't The Magician's Nephew really the first book? Why isn't that being filmed first?

[from www.narniaweb.com] C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as the first book in the series. The Magician's Nephew was written in 1955 as the sixth book in the series. For many years the books were released in "publishing" ordering but have since been re-ordered and are now published in "chronological" order. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is probably being produced first since it is the most well-known of the stories.

Will all the Narnia stories be produced or just the first?

[from www.narniaweb.com] There are plenty of rumors the series will be shortened to five, but these are just rumors. Walden has never said there were just five movies planned, and in the end the number of films produced will depend almost entirely on how well they do. Walden has optioned the entire seven-part series for film development.
