Anna Popplewell, who stars as Susan in the blockbuster Chronicles of Narnia movies, will be attending both days of the Spring Memorabilia Show at Birmingham’s NEC.
Anna, played the second eldest of the Pevensie children, in the movie franchise of the popular book series Narnia by CS Lewis. Susan first journeys to the magical land of Narnia in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, where her common sense and skill at archery play a major role in defeating the White Witch.
The film’s 2008 sequel, ‘Prince Caspian’, sees Susan and her siblings return to a very different world, where the talking animals have been driven into hiding and Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the Telmarine throne, has been usurped by his evil uncle.

Back in 2005, just as the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was releasing, SNL had a skit of “hardcore” rap about Narnia and cupcakes. The video went viral, and helped put YouTube on the map. Last night, Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell performed it live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, with the band The Roots.

During the 2008 Summer Olympics, television network NBC produced a short video clip about Brazilian marathon runner Vanderlei de Lima. That clip, which can be viewed on YouTube by clicking here, featured a portion of “Only the Beginning of the Adventure” from the LWW soundtrack (audible around the 3:20 mark).
Sunday evening, during closing ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Canadian singer Alanis Morisette performed none other than “Wunderkind,” her contribution the LWW soundtrack. You can watch her performance on Videolog.
If you’ve heard Narnia music elsewhere, sound off in the comments section – pun intended.

My friend Shane Rangi is the subject of a great piece in the New Zealand Herald. I finally had the chance to meet him in person on the set of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. He shared Bundaberg Ginger Beer with me, prior to my proposal, and we had a great time hanging out on the set. He was also present for the proposal, which made it even more special to me. It’s a memory that we both share. I’ll write more about that in future reports about my visit to the set.
Shane Rangi, who are you?

Amy's artwork for the song Together Again
It was originally believed that the Evanescence song “Good Enough” has parts of the song they wrote for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe before it was cut from the soundtrack to the film. It was recently revealed that there may be another couple of songs. The one we’re not sure of is “Lacrymosa,” and the other song is called “Together Again.” “Together Again” is available to anyone that is willing to donate $5 to Haiti by way of the United Nations. A minimum of $5 is required to get the download.
