Well, the Internet Movie Database has done it again, with a photograph of actor Roy Billing in costume as the Chief Dufflepud. I had seen photos of other Dufflepuds while on the set, and this photo kind of surprised me. The ones that I saw aren’t quite as dwarf-like as this. However, I only saw a few examples of them, so they might have been younger variations.
What do you think of the look of this particular Dufflepud? Is it how you imagined the Chief Dufflepud to look? And remember, the Dufflepuds have only one leg. I know that they shot with actors from the waist up, but have no idea how they’re managing to animate them with their single leg. What are your thoughts?

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?

The actor, Bill Nighy, has taken over the role of Reepicheep for the third film in the series. You may best know him as Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
No reason for the recasting has been given.
Please see the video below. In it, you’ll hear his voice.
Regardless of his knowledge of the character, I think his voice is much more regal. It carries real weight that Izzard may not have been able to display. I loved Izzard, but I think Nighy will own the role. Especially with the scenes he is in, in this film.

Kicking off the year of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader with a new blog, and a fresh start, is the first blog on the new official Narnia fan page on Facebook. It’s a fan page that is directed primarily at the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is the reason for the change. Things will still be coming to our page under “Chronicles of Narnia, but for the sake of avoiding confusion, an official page was made for the Voyage of the Dawn Treader alone. On it, the studio has decided to restart the blog with an entry about Skandar Keynes.

Much has been speculated about the “Mysterious Little Girl” or “MLG” that was seen on the set of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I have been sitting on this young lady’s name for many months now, as I was instructed. But now that the news has broken, I guess I’ll also report about it.
Arabella Morton plays the role of Gael in the film, and there has been speculation about the role that the character plays in the film, as she doesn’t appear in the book. What makes her an important part of the story as it plays out on film? Well, there is some speculation!

In what can be seen as a follow up to our story about Will Poulter’s stand-in as well as other Aussie locals back in December, Morgan Keavney-Rattue was just interviewed again about it. Enjoy!
“I do all the staff that the actual actor doesn’t want to do”

Just an FYI about the entirety of the interview, Barnes recently starred in an adaptation of Dorian Gray, which is an old novel with adult subject matter. The interview got interesting though, for Narnia fans when the subject turned to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I’ve censored the interview a bit to keep it family friendly, but if you want to, you can read the whole article at the source.

The hills of Hollywood can’t be too far away for Morgan Keavney-Rattue given his first gig, at just 15, is for a major blockbuster movie. Not many teens can list The Chronicles of Narnia as their first paying job, but that is how it has played out for the Kuluin resident, who got the call up for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third film in the series. And it all came down to his looks and measurements.

Filming on the next film in the Narnia series appears to have wrapped a bit earlier than expected, as the cast and crew joined each other for the wrap party this weekend. The scheduled wrap is November 27th, so either they finished filming early, or they had the party scheduled, and still have some filming left to do. Either way, this is a very exciting time, as the film is moving into the next phase of the journey to the silver screen: post-production.
It’s actually been in post-production since they started active production, as shooting digitally has allowed the editor to work while footage came in. Somewhere out there the film has been pieced together since day one of the shoot.
