Moviehole is reporting the New Zealand actor Roy Billing has been cast as the Chief Duffer (head of the Dufflepuds) in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  The actor speaks about the role, saying, “I hope on a plane on Monday.  I’m playing Chief Dufflepud – a gnome-like creature who hops around on one leg. There’s a whole heap of [Dufflepuds]. It should take a week or so to film my scene.”

We’ve received word from the production that the wizard Coriakin has been cast for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  The actor that is playing the role is Bille Brown, a drama graduate of the University of Queensland.  He is a well-known Shakespearean actor who began with the Queensland Theatre Company.  Later, he served as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford and London.  Coriakin is the magician whose mansion is found on the Isle of Duffers where he governs the dufflepuds.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Tony Nixon has been cast in the role of Rynelf, one of the sailors aboard the Dawn Treader vessel.  We’re going to try to verify this, but it is likely as smaller roles like this are very likely to go to mostly unknown actors.  Tony Nixon has also appeared in a made for TV movie called “Mermaids” which is kind of ironic, considering there are merfolk in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  We’ll have to wait and see what we hear from our sources to verify the actor, though it shouldn’t take too long.

This is all very exciting though, as the cast is coming together, and we should see more casting announcements all the time, as filming progresses!

We’ve done our due diligence and discovered the roles that each of the new cast members is playing in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  Earlier today a press release went out announcing that Gary Sweet, Arthur Angel and Bruce Spence had joined the cast, but there was no word on the roles that they were to play in the film.  Now we’ve learned what those roles will be, and we couldn’t be happier with the choices for these characters.  They look like they’ll be formidable characters in the film.

This week’s mailbag is a little bit late, and I apologize for that.  I had some stuff to get done this week, and I’ve started doing a new project.  Not to mention that I have been a little sick, so I’ve gotten a lot of extra sleep lately.  Not that it has anything to do with this.  Anyway, let’s get to it, some interesting letters came in this week.

This week’s mailbag is where we break loose. We’re going to tackle some pretty heavy questions about The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and more!  It’s going to be fun.  By the way, I just saw Disneynature’s Earth and I highly recommend it.  The visuals are unlike anything I’ve seen before, and it was entertaining, funny and sad and everything in between.  I’m looking forward, now, to their next Disneynature release: Oceans.  That one is due out on Earth Day 2010.

Daily Mail is reporting that actor Will Poulter has joined the cast of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” in the role of Eustace Clarence Scrubb. It is amazing just how much he looks like the Eustace that I think we all imagined him to be.

Will Poulter, who has been cast as pain-in-the-butt Eustace Scrubb, the Pevensie children’s cousin, in the next Narnia adventure to go before the cameras – The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader – which Michael Apted will direct.

Awful things happen to Eustace in this tale, but he learns. Will played Lee Carter, the scamp schoolboy in the film Son Of Rambow.

In fact, when I interviewed Will a few months ago I thought he’d be one holy terror, but he’s a very likeable 14-year-old Londoner, and I was struck by his perfect manners.

In Voyage Of The Dawn Treader he’ll join Ben Barnes, as Prince Caspian, and Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley, as Edmund and Lucy. Peter and Susan don’t feature in this story – at least not in the one C.S Lewis wrote.

The second Narnia picture, Prince Caspian, had its premiere last night and opens next week.
