Total Film is a UK magazine, and they’ve just released a list of the twenty films releasing during the year 2010 that they’re excited about.  The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is on the list at #20.  The primary reason that they’re excited?  Director Michael Apted.  He is bound to bring a steady hand as a director of a great many films prior to this, and that experience could be a key to this effort.  Andrew Adamson, while capable, had only directed Shrek and Shrek 2, both animated, prior to this.  While I don’t look at animation as a very different medium, as they’re still films, I do think that the lack of experience directing live action created a learning curve to it, as far as getting shots that you want as well as performances.
