Dawn Treader in TimesOnlines 50 Biggest Movies for 2010 List

Paul Martin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:39:01 +0000

Coming in at #16 on their list, is The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They write: One of a number of franchises jostling for the soon-to-be vacated Harry Potter spot, the Narnia series suffered something of a setback with Prince Caspian’s lacklustre performance. Dawn Treader is, though, considered by the Narnia faithful to be one of the best books of the set.

The best known names in the film, Liam Neeson and Eddie Izzard, don’t actually appear onscreen, but lend their voices to two of the fanciful characters encountered by the young cast as they seek the Seven Lost Lords of Narnia. For good or for ill, this will be a turning point in this series. If it succeeds, The Silver Chair and other Narnia movies will win an enormous worldwide audience. If receipts are broadly similar to those of its predecessor, it could well be the last of the Narnia films.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader Updates on Rhince and Rynelf

Paul Martin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:47:34 +0000

There are lots of rumors going around, and many are coming from the blog of Telmarine actor Mirko Grillini, who has the role of “Belligerent Telmarine” in the film.

If you don’t want to know much about changes to the film, then avoid this story. Otherwise, read on.

Here’s what Mirko wrote about the characters on his blog.

Arthur [Angel] plays Rhince in the film, joining the crew on board of the Dawn Treader to begin his voyage looking for his wife.

Narnia has now reopened the door to [Tony Nixon's] screen performance abilities with his role of Rynelf, the right hand of Captain Drinian (played by Gary Sweet). He is effectively my boss on the boat

News Blogger visits Dawn Treader Set

Paul Martin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:15:31 +0000

It was as though I pushed past the overcoats at the back of the wardrobe and wandered into another strange, wonderful world.

Yesterday, I was given a tour of the set of the latest Narnia film, “Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”

I wasn’t allowed to take photos of the set (you’ll have to wait for the movie to come to cinemas at the end of 2010) but I can describe some of what I saw. It was very impressive.

I saw four sets. The first one was a medieval, Italian village with dirt streets and high, stone, castle-like walls. Construction workers were pulling it down as filming was finished in that set.

The next three sets I saw were of the ship, the Dawn Treader, where most of the action takes place.

Will Poulter talks Dawn Treader

Paul Martin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:02:28 +0000

You’re filming The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader in Australia at the moment, how’s that going?

Will Poulter: Its really good fun thank you, I’m really enjoying myself but I am missing home quite a bit, especially my family and friends. Although I will be sad to leave I will be really pleased to be home for Christmas.

Your character, Eustace Scrubb, isn’t very well behaved and of course you played the ‘most badly behaved kid in school’ in Son of Rambow. How do you keep getting these type of roles?

Will Poulter: I know, I would really like to play a nice character for once! I feel quite bad about having to play those characters and I hope there is no one like Eustace Scrubb!

The famous introduction in the book by CS Lewis is: “There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.” Would you say that’s a fair evaluation of your character?

Will Poulter: Absolutely. He is a complete brat, he’s obnoxious, rude, selfish and cowardly and has no respect for anyone other than himself. However he does become a much better adjusted person at the end of the book.

Dawn Treader Cast and Crew Celebrates Halloween

Paul Martin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:54:45 +0000

Oscar award-winning make-up artist Howard Berger threw a Halloween party for fellow cast and crew of the Chronicles of Narnia film on Saturday.

Berger, from the US, tells CC he was feeling homesick and wanted to bring the American holiday to the Gold Coast with a party at Southport Bowls Club.

He says Halloween is one of his favourite holidays and he’s even more enthusiastic than his teenage kids.

“I phoned to ask them about Halloween and they were like ‘Dad, it’s not until tomorrow.’ I’m more excited about it than they are,” says Berger, who has worked on blockbusters Inglourious Basterds, The Bucket List and Transformers.

It’s no surprise he is a fan of Halloween as he’s been a make-up artist for the world’s biggest horror films.

As filming for Chronicles of Narnia wraps up on the Gold Coast in three weeks lead actor Ben Barnes says he is sad about leaving.

Barnes, at a Halloween party for fellow cast and crew of the Chronicles of Narnia film at the Southport Bowls Club on Saturday, says he has enjoyed his time on the Gold Coast and is not looking forward to returning home to the UK.

“The Gold Coast is beautiful,” he says.

Skandar Keynes, who celebrated Halloween with cast and crew on Saturday at the Southport Bowls Club, tells CC the Gold Coast gives him the heebie jeebies.

That, and ‘evil pumpkins.’

But Keynes failed to give CC an explanation as to why he finds our town petrifying.

“I don’t know,” he says jokingly.

Taste of home for Narnia: Dawn Treader crew

Paul Martin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:32:51 +0000

Big things are coming soon, but this is not part of that, just so you know. You’ll know it when you see it! Anyway, here’s the news.

PLAYING a cast of characters who routinely slip out of England and into the magical world of Narnia should make the British actors who recently finished filming at Cleveland Point accustomed to being away from home.

But they were delighted in the final days of filming to receive a care package from Birkdale couple Louise and Adrian Warner, who run Britain on the Bayside.

Louise took her two sons, Charlie, 8, and Thomas, 5, down to the set with the hamper of goodies, which they handed over to one of Narnia’s fawns.

“I’d been taking the kids down to the set fairly often to see it being built, and when we heard nearly all the cast and a lot of the crew were British, and that they still had filming to finish on the Gold Coast and in New Zealand, we thought they’d appreciate a few treats from home,” Louise said.

“We’ve since heard back that all the cast were thrilled with the hamper, and we referred a few of the directors and producers to The Vine bottle shop next to our store, because they import a whole range of British beers which we heard they were pining for.”

Louise said the hamper included some of their most popular items: Crisps, not chips; a soft drink called Vimto; British Cadbury’s chocolate, which has fewer emulsifiers than Australian Cadbury’s because of the cooler climate; Minstrels, a larger, non-coloured version of M&Ms; Crawfords custard creams and bourbon creams biscuits; and Party Ring biscuits, which are often worn on the fingers of children at birthday parties.

An Interview with Micheal Flaherty

Paul Martin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:03:41 +0000

Last spring Micheal Flaherty, President of Walden Media, visited Asbury College as part of its Engaging Culture weekend. As those who have met him know, he is a truly great man–full of wisdom, enthusiasm, real joy, and deep compassion.

While he was on campus, Devin Brown had the opportunity to ask him about Walden’s mission, where its name came from, and even what his favorite scene is. His response to these and other questions can be viewed in “An Interview with Micheal Flaherty” which has been posted at: Asbury.edu

There’s also a question and answer session about The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
