I saw it on AICN first and then a bit more on ComingSoon! Due to be released one year from today it has been announced that Brian Cox [Troy, X2, The Bourne Supremecy/Identity] has been cast to provide the voice for Aslan in Disney's adaptation of the famed Chronicles of Narnia, penned by C.S. Lewis.

This is a relief. I could only imagine how many time I would have ended each sentance he spoke in the movies with 'Simba' if it was other famed lion voice actor James Earl Jones. I would have punched myself out.

On the casting of Cox, producer Mark Johnson says, "Brian has an amazing resonance to his voice, a certain majesty, which suits Aslan perfectly...I've always found Brian to be so versatile...we first talked to Brian about the role of Aslan maybe nine months ago, and I'm glad it worked out". via ComingSoon.
