Yes, its true C.S. Lewis fans, The Screwtape Letters will head to the big screen after Walden Media purchased the rights to the novel. Walden also owns the rights to Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" books.

Much of the appeal The Screwtape Letters derives from is C.S. Lewis's startlingly original reversal of telling a story about Christian faith, not from a Christian point-of-view, but from the perspective of a devil, trying to secure the damnation of one's man's soul.

Walden Media is banking that Screwtape [1]will be as big of hit as the Narnia movie, which grossed $744 million world wide. Screwtape will open nationwide in early 2008 and the film will be shot as a live-action movie.
