'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' trailer hits net

Andrew Adamson's adaptation of the classic book doesn't hit the big screen until December, but the film's spectacular trailer is just a click away.

The trailer for Andrew Adamson's adaptation of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' has hit the net, nearly seven months before the film's worldwide release.

The first of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' to hit the big screen, this, along with Peter Jackson's 'King Kong', will be the film to beat at the box office this Christmas.

Directed by Adamson, whose previous credits include 'Shrek' and 'Shrek 2', it's already looking absolutely stunning, giving us our first glimpse at 'The Lion' himself, Azlan, as well as Tilda Swinton as the White Witch and, briefly, James McAvoy as Mr Tumnus.

We'll have to wait until December 8 to see if Adamson manages to capture the magic of CS Lewis's classic tale, but to have a look at this early footage, simply click here
