‘Narnia’ movie puts spotlight on former Wichitan

The release today of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is putting former Wichitan Philip Anschutz in the spotlight. Though Walt Disney Co. is handling the film’s marketing, it is Anschutz’s production company, Walden Media, that made the movie. A recent article in The Economist explained that Anschutz got into the movie business because he was tired of complaining about the lack of family friendly Hollywood films and decided to be part of the solution. How refreshing.
