Another CS Lewis Novel to Become a Movie

Another of CS Lewis' books is set to become a movie, according to the Christian Post:

The movie attempts to tap into the crossover popularity of the author whose first adaptation, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, pulled in $744 million worldwide, according to Variety. The sequel to this, Prince Caspian, is expected to release next year.

The Screwtape Letters is a book that takes on the form of a series of letters written from a senior devil, Screwtape, to a subordinate, Wormtongue. In the letters, the elder gives advice on how to secure the damnation of an earthly man who the letters refer to as “the Patient.”

The comprehensive advice that Screwtape offers his nephew on undermining faith and encouraging sin is filled with examinations of human nature and Christian doctrine.

It may be difficult to make a movie of this one--even more so than Narnia--but if they can pull it off, it should be very good. Even astute and intellectually honest liberals will likely see things they recognize in our current culture.
