Village Roadshow will relaunch the former Atlab Queensland film processing lab in May, a year after its original closure, with the hope of securing The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for work.

The Village Roadshow Digital Film Laboratory will offer services such as 16mm/35mm colour negative film processing as well as digital HD video or data rushes reporting in conjunction with post-production house The Post Lounge.

The Lab will be largely staffed by Atlab Queensland’s former key employees including general manager Gary Keir.  The company will be hoping to snare work for the latest instalment in the US blockbuster Narnia series, which is understood to be in the final stages of confirming its Queensland-based shoot, as well as TV series such as The Elephant Princess.

The Brisbane Times is reporting that the Environmental Protection Agency has thrown its support behind plans to use Moreton Bay as a major film set for the next Chronicles of Narnia movie, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Redland City Council last night also backed the proposal, which would involve building a pier off Cleveland Point, south-east of Brisbane, and anchoring a barge in the bay as the site of a 40-metre-long film set ship.

Twentieth Century Fox and Walden Media have considered using Cleveland Point or Wellington Point to film some of the scenes for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Moreton Bay may be transformed into the mythical land of Narnia next year after film crews scouted the Redlands for a new movie location.

Producers for the third film in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, have visited Cleveland and Wellington Point in southeast Queensland.

A report to Redland Shire Council said production company Disney Pictures preferred the Cleveland site over other Queensland and New Zealand locations but warned there would be disruptions for the local community.

What parts of Queensland do you think would be perfect for Narnia

A ramp 60m by 50m would jut out into the bay from Cleveland Point with an attached 40m ship, expected to be built on the Gold Coast.

“Given the magnitude of the production, a show of support from Redland Shire Council is critical in encouraging the production to keep Queensland ‘top of mind’,” the report urged the council.
