LONDON - Total Film celebrates the long-awaited release of the first movie in a potentially huge Chronicles of Narnia franchise, 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe', with three special covers, split across its printrun.

On sale from Thursday November 3, the December issue of Total Film gives the Disney epic the limited-edition treatment, with covers featuring the lion, the witch and the wardrobe across the 160,000 printrun.

Tipped to rival 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy as the most important fantasy story, Total Film goes beyond the hype with an exclusive look behind the scenes of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', with an extensive feature packed with unseen on-set photography and interviews with director Andrew Adamson and all of the stars of the movie, including the White Witch herself, Tilda Swinton.

Mark Dinning, editor of Total Film, said: "As far as I'm aware, this is the first, and most likely last, time that a movie magazine has put a wardrobe on its cover -- unless you include Roger Moore. Either way, we are really proud of this world exclusive access and these three terrific cover images, as 'The Chronicles of Narnia' promises to be a huge hit with fans of all ages."

Also in the December issue of Total Film, Johnny Depp talks about his role in 'The Libertine', Jason Statham talks about his Hollywood journey and new movie 'Transporter 2' and Jodie Foster discusses fame and her experiences making 'Taxi Driver' ahead of her new movie 'Flight Plan'.
