We received word from MundoNarnia about some new photos that have surfaced from the set of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader at The Spit.  It seems that a lot of progress has been made in the last few days.  If they’re shooting the film right now, though, the set doesn’t appear to be ready.  It’s close, though.  There is still no word as to who has arrived in Australia for the film shoot, aside from Skandar Keynes.  All that I know is that it’s on schedule to make it’s release on December 10, 2010, as scheduled by Fox and Walden Media.  It’s sure to be a good way to spend the holiday season, and to bide our time for The Hobbit a year later.
