The film rights to the books were originally held by Paramount, where studio executives, believing that American audiences would not respond to a story about British children, had wanted it set it in Los Angeles and had decreed that the child Edmund should be tempted not by Turkish delight, as in the book, but by a cheeseburger. Incredibly, Janet Jackson was chosen to play the White Witch.
We can all be grateful that this project never got off the ground.
