Hey, everybody! Welcome back to Tumnus’s Bookshelf, where we review any and all books by and about CS Lewis and the land of Narnia. Today we will be looking at Sarah Arthur’s book Walking Through the Wardrobe: A Devotional Quest through the Land of Narnia.”
If you want to see some lamp-posts from the Chronicles of Narnia film production, you can now find them in L.A., actually in use! This is a strange way to see some props from the film, and I’m not sure where they appeared (if they were elements of sets for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, part of England in Prince Caspian or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), however it is still kinda cool that they’re being put into actual use, rather than sitting in storage somewhere for many years. Not sure if they’re labeled either, the article doesn’t say much about it.
White Island in the Bay of Plenty will provide a backdrop to the latest instalment of the Narnia films: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
White Island Tours marketing executive Patrick O’Sullivan says the filming, which was done without the cast, took place just before Christmas.
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.
YouTuber xxchamaraxx has posted a group of no less than seven videos taken near the set of “Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” Check them out here. The videos include some actual filming as well as “down time” between takes.
If you’re planning on watching some of the filming for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader at Cleveland Point, on the Gold Coast of Australia, you’ll have to wait until Thursday to do so. According to the Bayside Bulletin, Narnia spokesperson Ernie Malik has commented on the filming this week, and has confirmed a few things, including the start of filming coming up this week.
Brian Sibley wrote to us to invite you all to take a look at this unique event opportunity to spend an evening with him this September. Take a look! EJ Casting.Com is pleased to present an evening with world-renowned writer BRIAN SIBLEY on Thursday 24 September 2009 at 7:00pm in The Library at TEATROS PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB, 93 – 107 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, WC1.
BRIAN SIBLEY adapted J R R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings for BBC Radio in which Ian Holm stared as Frodo and Sir Michael Hordern played the wizard, Gandalf. This production was one of the inspirations for Peter Jackson to make the trilogy into movies.
NarniaHome.com, a site created by and for the fans of C. S. Lewis and Narnia, was unveiled today. While it is still in a state of flux, it shows its promise from the moment the careful texturing and flash animation come up on the screen.
This week has been flying by. I just remembered that it was Thursday, and that I hadn’t written this week’s mailbag. So I’m spending lunch time writing this week’s installment. I spent Tuesday riding roller coasters at Cedar Point, and around that day there were some really huge things happening in the world of Narnia. The third film started shooting, and we’ve gotten some great photos of the Dawn Treader nearing completion. I’ve got a couple of e-mails to answer this week, but before I do, I just wanted to give a status update on the secret project. I’m currently working on speed issues on it, but it’s moving forward. I have guests up from Florida so it’s going to take me a little longer than I had initially anticipated, but I hope that it’s worth the wait.
And a quick update on Chesterton’s The Everlasting Man that just came in from a woman named Barbara: “C.S. Lewis’s appreciation for Chesterton’s The Everlasting Man in correspondence is well known. Tolkien borrowed the idea for Ents from Chesterton’s The Trees of Pride! I hope these facts were brought to your attention.” Thanks Barbara!
Narnia Fan Spy Craig White sent us this video from Channel 9 News in Australia that features a terrific aerial view of the wharf set that we finally had some clarification on yesterday. It will only be used for three days of shooting. One thing that is interesting about the report is that they said filming would begin in three weeks. One question on our minds is what part of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader is this going to be? More, and the video, after the break.
