Narnia Soundtrack - Christian and Heathen Versions

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe opens in North American theatres on December 9th, and for those of you who love movie soundtracks, you may be interested to know that there will be two versions available: One that is music taken straight from the movie itself, and one that is done by Christian music artists, and is listed as being "inspired" by the movie. You can find the Christian soundtrack here, and the heathen version here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this is the first time that a secular movie has found itself with a second soundtrack of Christian music. Wait, I must correct myself - The Passion has a similar soundtrack counterpart available. Here is the movie soundtrack, and the Christian "inspired" version.

It makes me wonder if this will start a trend within the Christian music industry of releasing these "inspired by the movie" CDs, in order to get some extra promotion for Christian artists who are hoping to ride the coattails of a movie's success. Personally, I'd love to see a Christian soundtrack for Fight Club, Kill Bill, or even Harry Potter. Any song suggestions?
