12 New Photos: Reepicheep On Set

Reep's stand-insTwelve more pictures are up at MundoNarnia.com, including a shot of Reepicheep’s stand-ins. My guess is that the more realistic stand-in is used for lighting reference, and the green one is what the actors interact with during the scenes. In post-production, the green stand-in will be erased, and then replaced with a computer-generated character (voiced by Eddie Izzard). Green and blue are often used for this because these colors are considered to be the “furthest away” from human skin tones, and so are easier for the computer to isolate and erase.

This first sighting of Reepicheep on set should excite fans, since his role in “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is what made him the fan-favorite of the series.

Most of the photos show Ben Barnes talking to the crowd through the gate, and if you look at the bottom/right corner of one of them, you’ll see Douglas Gresham (co-producer, C.S. Lewis’ stepson).

    aravistarkheena, it's Courageous, Courteous, and Chivalrous.

  2. daughter of the King says:

    The chapter after they leave the Lone Islands, it is mentioned that Lucy went shopping and bought seaboots and cloaks and a few other things. So they could use that and give her a whole wardrobe. Probably won't, but…

  3. daughter of the King says:

    wannawork4weta, Reepicheep does pull out his sword and slash at Eustace's hand.

  4. daughter of the King says:

    Maybe it's Georgie's stunt double? Kind of hard to tell from this angle.

  5. daughter of the King says:

    Great pictures!

  6. Zoe says:

    The two were filming together, though. Maybe she's the young girl dufflepud that originally said the invisibility spell? That woudn't explain why she's on the ship, though.

  7. WarriorQueen says:

    Yay! A good picture of Georgie finally!

  8. NarniaNut says:

    If they don't put Eustace swinging Reepicheep by the tail I'm gonna freak out!!!

  9. Narniamiss says:

    That would be an interesting twist, but I'm not sure that's it. I do wonder, though…

  10. NarniaNut says:

    aravistarkheena,were you trying to write 'courageous'?

  11. NarniaNut says:

    Oh my God,can you believe that its Georgie?Think back to when she was doing The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe!WOW!

  12. NarniaNut says:

    I love the costumes!Its just like my imagination is being made into a movie! πŸ™‚

  13. NarniaNut says:

    They will probably give her a new one at the end;they ALwaYS do.

  14. NarniaNut says:

    And he was taken off guard;you know how nasty Eustace was at first! ;()

  15. NarniaNut says:

    I don't think Gresham would allow that.(changing the story,I mean) πŸ™‚

  16. NarniaNut says:

    I don't think Reepicheep would appreciate being called 'Reep'.

  17. Princess Arya says:

    I did see one picture of her πŸ™‚ I hadn't mentioned…

  18. Princess Arya says:

    Didn't he get called Reep quite often in the book? *shrugs*

  19. georgiefan1 says:

    yay!!!! Georgie pictures!!!!!

  20. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    Everyone called him "Reep". Read VDT. "'Aren't you going to say anything, Reep?' whispered Lucy." (chapter 14 ("The Beginning of the End of the World")) "'Yes, Reep, I know we have,' said Caspian." (chapter 3 ("The Lone Islands")).

  21. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    Please don't say "thank God" unless you really mean it.

  22. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    Please don't take God's name in vain. Very inappropriate.

  23. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    umm… look at what happened in PC. I wouldn't say that just yet.

  24. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    Yay Reep!

  25. Ariel_of_Narnia says:

    And WHAT is with Caspian's PURPLE shirt?!?

  26. Silver the Wanderer says:

    Haha Caspian must love the purple sail as much as we do πŸ˜›

  27. Silver the Wanderer says:

    Oh yes – that green one sort of scares me πŸ˜›

  28. The Batman says:

    lol maybe Eustace will be a purple dragon!!! πŸ˜‰

  29. wannawork4Weta says:

    Yes, he was nasty. Perhaps I hold Reep to an impossibly high standard, as a Narnian, an invincible swordsman, (I know, he had his tail cut off) BUT I still want to ask Mr. Lewis why he wrote that bit in. It's so degrading for the noble swordsman.

  30. Rachel_Newberry says:

    thats so awesome!.
    hey, maybe reepicheep in some shots will be animatronic!.
    i cant wait 4 it 2 come out in december next year, me and my sister are gonna go,and bring a friend with us (she dosent like narnia, but she said she'd go,we're gonna get her off of twilight and into narnia more)
    I love the pics of ben, and the pics of georgie are great too! πŸ˜‰

  31. Rashoonka says:

    i cant wait 2 go c it!!!!

  32. daughter of the King says:

    I think that was the point wannaworkforweta.

  33. Lady of the Green Kirtle says:

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see Georgie in any of these pictures. Could someone please tell me where to look

  34. wannawork4Weta says:

    Naaahhhh…

  35. Princess Arya says:

    I almost didn't either. Check the 6th pic.

  36. Jill Pole says:

    I really think that 'Reep' really likes the nick-name. It's alright if some of us didn't know.=) See you Narnians!

  37. Jill Pole says:

    I love G-d!(I do that(-) because I know that I'm not worthy enough to even WRITE His name. He trully IS good! I'm glad that He lets this production to be made! =) You guys are great Narnians! G-d be with you all!
    PS. Aslan represents G-d. Some of you probably already knew that. 'Cause C. S. Lewis was a christian. Pretty cool, huh?

  38. Jill Pole says:

    Oh, from Mcidees(Mcdonalds)? Hahah! That's funny!

  39. Jill Pole says:

    Hah! He didn't allow it. He'd never! Not Reep. Oh, how I just love my little buddy!

  40. Jill Pole says:

    You go girl! Go get her off of that vampire junck! Introduce her to Aslan(G-D)!

  41. Narnia Lover says:

    No, the line, "'Oh, he's so cute!' said Lucy. 'Who said that?' said Reepacheep." From the PC movie!

  42. Narnia Lover says:

    You're right! She does look a lot like Anna!

  43. i think there really good but some of them were really bad and reepicheep is soo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. que pongan una trailer de repechep por favor

  45. daughter of the King says:

    Very cool, Jill Pole.

  46. Balin says:

    They're likely to do a lot of CGI, though I agree a few cuts of a CGI would make a stand in a lot more believable.

  47. Savber100 says:

    *thinking about the BBC version of Reepicheep*

    shudder… a lot of things have changed since then. πŸ˜›

  48. Eden says:

    @wannawork4weta : Well, I'm sure he would have, IF Eustace wasn't the Pevensie's cousin. But since he was, I'm sure Lucy and Ed would have objected to him killing him. And I don't think Reep would ever do anything against Ed or Lucy's wishes. I think (IMHO πŸ˜€ ) that Reep would see it as dishonorable and disloyal… Although it was terribly degrading for Eustace to do that to Reep.

  49. Matthias of Redwall says:

    ha! yeah, I know, huh?

  50. Zoe says:

    Ariel_of_Narnia: thanks for taking a stand!

  51. Narniamiss says:

    There are actually more pics of Georgie on Mundonarnia.com now! I'm not sure why Narniaweb hasn't posted it yet…

  52. NarniaNut says:

    Okay,Okay,I forgot.
    And YES I did read the book!

  53. Lucy says:

    I love how Lucy's clothes look like! πŸ™‚

  54. Tauriel says:

    I never thought I'd say this aloud, but… Damn, Ben Barnes is so sexy in the beard and the long hair with a pigtail in the back! πŸ˜€

  55. narnian resident says:

    um, jill, of course you can write it. if you are a child of God, then he will not mind if you say his name, let alone write it! dont ever feel you are not worthy enough to even say or write his name. you have every worth to do so, especially because he loves you.

  56. narnian resident says:

    say "omg" for "o my goodness!"

  57. narnian resident says:

    i love her costume too. i love everyone's costume, even eustace's english clothes. by the way, is he ever changing? i mean, if he eases up on being in narnia on a ship he should change into narnian clothes. i think all the costumes look perfect for a narnia voyage. i was afraid they were going to have lucy where a narnian dress. not that i dont like them, but not on a ship, especially for the fact that there wouldnt be any dresses on the ship! but im really happy with her costume and hair. even if she's wearing "men's" clothes, she still looks so pretty!

  58. Aslan's Meadow says:

    Agreed, Jesus died so we could freely claim that we are His child.

  59. narnian resident says:

    wannawork4weta, Lewis didnt write that to say anything about Reep, he wrote that to show a good description of eustace's character and how mean and rude and nasty he was. Reep does a good job defending himself, afterall he couldnt kill eustace even if he wanted to because he was related to King Edmund and Queen Lucy.

  60. Aliea says:

    When they finish the movie… Will they be selling the Stand-in? if so… How much!? LOL! it's SOOOOOOOOO Cute! (not the green one though…)
