Ben Barnes talks Dawn Treader Book versus Film

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

In an interview about Dorian Gray, Ben Barnes was asked about the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  Specifically, what may have changed between the book and the film.  This is a question that we all have about the film, and though many fans would like to see the film shot page for page with the book, movies are completely different animals.  Sometimes books don’t translate very well into movies as they are written.  In our own minds they seem as movies, though, and based on each of our own imaginations, when we read Narnia, each of our experiences is going to be different.  So how do you take C.S. Lewis’ very loose, open descriptions to film and make everyone’s version?  You really can’t.  But what about a story like that found in this book?  Well, on film, it needs more than the book has.  Here’s what Ben has to say about it.

Dawn Treader Set Photos: Eustace and Minotaur…and more video

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Narnia Fans Spy Kerrie wrote in with more pictures from the set of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  This time, featuring some amazing shots of a Minotaur and Eustace (Will Poulter) on board the Dawn Treader.  If these photos are from a scene in the film, it looks like Eustace and the Minotaur could be friends, unless the Minotaur is carrying out punishment on him.  This is all complete speculation on my part, based only on three stills that you can see here.

Ben Barnes Injured on Dawn Treader Set

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

According to an article at contactmusic, Skandar Keynes gave Ben Barnes a fat lip while filming earlier this week.  Ben said that it happened during the sword fighting that we reported on earlier in the week, while nursing his wounds from the battle.  It’s not a major injury and he’s likely to be back at work on the film soon, if he isn’t already.

Dawn Treader Set Report – Ben Barnes and Skandar Keynes Swordfight (Photos and Video)

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader news is coming fast and furious today.  We’ve got video from the set, of Skandar Keynes and Ben Barnes sparring on board the Dawn Treader, with other sailors on board looking much like they’re cheering them on.  Not sure when this will be, in the film, but Skandar appears to have lost none of his skills with a blade since the last adventure.  I can’t wait to see the fight on screen.

More Dawn Treader Cast and Crew Photos and Set Report (Ben Barnes, more)

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Narnia Fans Spy Tamika writes: I was at Cleveland Point yesterday during the filming of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and managed to get some pretty interesting photos of the cast and crew. It was a quiet day with maybe 15 spectators and we just happened to get there right before the lunch break, which meant the stars and extras were all walking around. Some of the extras (sailors) came out and talked to the fans in depth about the filming and posed for pictures.

Ben Barnes as King Caspian

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

A few days ago some pictures surfaced that included Ben Barnes as King Caspian, and Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  While those pictures have, for the most part, disappeared from the web (they’re only available by purchase from TitoMedia), one of them has been posted by a British tabloid called The Sun.   We don’t have permission to post any of these images, so we kindly ask that you do not post it here in the comments or in the forums.

We’ll post whatever images that we are allowed to post, as soon as we’re allowed to, however, including spy photos.

If you want to see the image, take a look here: Sail away with magic of Narnia.
