William Moseley Inspires Students

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

It’s stories like this that really show just how cool the actors are, from the Chronicles of Narnia.  William Moseley is a true class act.  I was witness to him speaking to one of the less fortunate folks on a street in New York.  It really was a great display of his character as a person.  This is just another example as Chronicles of Narnia star William Moseley backed a series of pioneering children’s workshops.

NarniaFans Mailbag #39: Dawn Treader Trailers, Stunts and More

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Sorry that this week’s mailbag is a day late. I had some business to attend to. Namely, there were ghosts to be busted, and I was the best Ghostbuster for the job.  On Tuesday, a game that I had been waiting for most of my life to play was finally released.  Not only that, but it was released in roughly three variations, two of which I know for sure used the actors from the original movies.  Ghostbusters The Video Game was released for most systems, of which I got it for Xbox 360 and Wii as well as DS.  I have beaten the game on the 360, and just started playing the Wii version, which is a very different experience from the 360 version so far.  And I’ve loved almost every minute of it, save for some small problems, and the difficulty level of the game when sometimes, even on easy.  When I was 8 or 9, I went to the arcade (!) to play the Ghostbusters game, only to be disappointed by it for not having a similar style of play to that of the movie, and it’s about time they’ve made the game that I dreamed up at such a young age.  But this isn’t what you’re here to read about, you want to hear answer to Narnia fan mail, so here we go.

NarniaFans Mailbag #32: More Dawn Treader Art, and old letters surface

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

For this week’s Mailbag, I looked in my inbox and realized a couple of things: first, there was only one e-mail for this week’s mailbag.  I could take this to mean that it’s not a good feature to bring back, but that would be ridiculous.  I enjoy the chance to answer e-mails and also to put my own voice into the site just a little bit.

On a related note, I share Andrew Adamson’s birthday.  Who knew?  Andrew, if you’re reading this, that must be the reason we have similar creative minds.

April 26, 2009

Anna PopplewellAnna Popplewell is one extremely intelligent girl.  Meeting her in New York last year was pretty intimidating, even though I’m a bit older than she is.  And now she’s doing her part to raise money for a good cause.  She writes:

I am not athletic! However, I am going to attempt to be athletic on 26th April 2009 and run the London marathon in order to raise money for an extremely worthy cause. Shelter is a brilliant charity that targets homelessness in the UK and, particularly homelessness amongst children. One in seven children in Britain are either homeless or living in either overcrowded or poor conditions, and nearly 1.7 million households are on waiting lists for a social rented home.
