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.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’s cast keeps filling up as they’ve cast the role of Ramandu’s Daughter in an Aussie actress called Laura Brent. She’s an actress that has been in some small roles, but there was likely something particularly special about her that caught the eye of the casting director. She’s likely another up-and-coming actress, having appeared in an Australian tv series called Chandon Pictures and a small role in the film Message from the CEO.
One of the biggest names in Hollywood is getting to become part of one of the biggest fantasy franchises. Sources indicate that child star Lindsey Lohan has received a role in the next installment of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. She has been tapped to play the small, but memorable character of the daughter of Ramandu.
Fans of the series will remember that Caspian, Lucy, Edmund and Eustace meet the character at the last island they landed on before they reached the edge of the world of Narnia. The character is the daughter of the wizard Ramandu, a retried star. She and Caspian fall in love and get married. The two of them become the parents of Prince Rillian, one of the main figures in The Silver Chair.
The character is never named, but expect the screen writers to amend that situation. The star’s agent says that this will be a great way for her to repair her image following her legal problems that were the subject of tabloids for weeks, as well as the box office failures of her recent films.
An executive from Disney said, “We are honored to have her coming back. She has had a great record with us.”
The actress has gone on to say, “I really like the books. They’re my favorite. Goblet of Fire is my favorite out of all of them. Wait, this isn’t Harry Potter? Oh well, a jobs a job.”
