I think they are going with The Lion... first ebcause it was the first one Lewis wrote and because it seems to be the most well known of the series- probably since it was the first one he wrote. I think it makes sense too, because even though Magician's Nephew was chronologically first, it's a wierd book. It is! I don't think it would make a great movie, where Lion... has the whole Good vs. Evil plot thing going. And it really is the core book of the series, given it's obvious symbolism.
I remember seeing some of the old BBC movies, but it was a long itme ago and I was a kid. So I don't know if they were actually good or not. I think this new one will be very good though, in terms of production quality if nothing else.
