I loved the first movie, was okay with the second, and now we get to the good stuff. I am very much looking forward to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - Trailer
- Thread starter 777
- Start date
I never even saw Prince Caspian, but I'll prolly see this-- my favorite book, and Eustace was my favorite of the kids. (And Reepicheep is the man!)
Just as long as they have the bit where Eustace is turned into a miserable dragon.

I'd really love to see an adaption of "The Magician's Nephew" outside of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" it's my favorite of the series. I know a lot of fans cite "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" as their favorite (as I stated my brother does as well) but I've already seen my favorite book adapted. As for "Prince Caspian" I thought it was good, not as great as the first movie which I enjoyed a lot. The first movie reminded me of the old animated movie that I loved as a child.
Well, I may be the only person here who thought "Prince Caspian" was great, so I'm most definitely excited for "Voyage of the Dawn Treader!"
Wish we'd seen a bit more of Eustace, since he'll be one of the leads for "The Silver Chair." Be good to see more Caspian for that matter, did I catch a glimpse of him with a beard? And the dragon of course.
Slightly disappointed they didn't get Eddie Izzard back as Reepicheep, but that's alright I guess. Did I see a Minotaur as one of the Dawn Treader crew?

Nice to see it's (apparently) finished; I'd forgotten about the Narnia films. I wonder if they'll go on to do The Silver Chair? And I'd be quite keen on seeing The Horse and his Boy and The Magician's Nephew (my favourite of the series)...
I must admit, though, that I've never been too keen on The Last Battle - not sure if there is anything much in that one to stretch out to a feature-length film...

The first two movies are incredibly forgettable.
David Arnold is doing the music? Cool.
Yeah he's a busy composer this year. The first two scores were really good too.
Ive wanted to see the world of Charn, where the white witch was from, ever since I saw the first movie. Heck, i wanted to see it since I read 'the magicians nephew'.
I think as long as the films continue to make money and a studio is able to back them they'll adapt all the books.
I'd like to see it too. And I'd like to see Queen Jadis (later known as the White Witch) portrayed as a raven-haired, Gothic, Amazonian dominatrix-type as in the books...
And, also, because I like that sort of thing
One of the producers said in an interview that Tilda Swinton is urging them to make The Magician's Nephew next as she loves her character and is keen to play out the Jadis storyline. If the box office is strong enough for the series to continue I would think it more likely that they'll adapt The Silver Chair next (since it features Eustace and concludes the Caspian storyline) and then The Magician's Nephew.
Yeah, that would be the sensible way to go for those reasons. Swinton could conceivably play the baddie in The Silver Chair too, since The Lady of the Green Kirtle's origin is never explained, and interpretations since Lewis died have tended to conflate her with Jadis to some degree or other.
There's never any indication from the text that the two characters are the same or related, but the movie version of Prince Caspian already had one near-resurrection, so it's conceivable to do something similar (except she comes back as a Snake instead of an Ice Queen) for The Silver Chair.
Then do The Magician's Nephew to finish off the Jadis storyline, then The Horse and His Boy (and by that point the original actors for the Pevensies should be old enough), and finish with The Last Battle. Though the last two would probably need modifications.
What do you think of the "Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" trailer?
I'm looking forward to this film, since it was always my favorite of the Narnia novels as a kid.

It looks good. That was always my favorite of the novels as a kid as well.
Kudos to the makers of the trailer for using the awesome 'Heart of Courage' from Two Steps from Hell at the end. It was also featured in the fantastic Mass Effect 2 trailer. That's an epic piece of music.

The simplest things can throw off a search, so no worries.
Like LoB, this was always my favorite book of the Chronicles series. That makes me all the more eager to see the film and what they do with it.
