Maurice Chrittenden in the London Sunday Times [points out ](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-1859231,00.html?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)that Lewis's stepsons sold his estate. Someone is going to get very wealthy off of the movie, but it's not clear who.

*There are few clues to the ultimate destination of the money. The CS Lewis estate is run by an Australian accountant living in Ireland and a Swiss lawyer who report to two shareholders — trusts based in the tax havens of Liechtenstein and Jersey — and send royalties to a company registered in Singapore.*  
  
My hunch: Gresham sold the rights to his own company. It just sounds right.

Oh, and in case you were wondering just how popular Narnia is going to be:

*David and Victoria Beckham are planning a Narnia theme party for their older children, Brooklyn and Romeo, this Christmas.*  
  
Now you know.
