Filming Wraps at Cleveland Point

Even though filming wrapped at Cleveland Point last week, BaysideBulletin has one final report on it. It turns out the production didn’t quite manage to escape the dust storm after all…

TWO days of filming at a ‘closed set’ in Cleveland were built into the Narnia schedule in case of bad weather, but nobody imagined it would be a record-breaking dust storm that caused cast and crew to abandon ship.

A set was built inside a vacant Cleveland warehouse as part of the filming of third Narnia film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which has been based at Cleveland Point this month.

The cast began two days of filming on Tuesday in the warehouse, which fortuitously meant they filmed inside throughout Wednesday’s dusty and windy weather.

On Thursday, the cast returned for their final day of filming – after the ship had to be cleaned from mast to deck.

Work to dismantle the 125 tonne ship and reassemble it on set at MovieWorld on the Gold Coast began on Friday and is expected to take about two weeks.

You can read the full story at BaysideBulletin’s website here.

And as a final note, I know there are some of you keeping very close track of the filming locations for this movie. If you are one of them, there is a picture and address given for the warehouse they filmed in for two days.

UPDATE: ‘JadisstarkillR’ sent us a link to a video that was shot on the last day of shooting at Cleveland Point. It reportadly takes place after the MLG jumps off the ship. Both Caspian and Edmund appear to comfort Lucy after Gael and Rhince jump. Why would Lucy need to be comforted?

    Are they going to, like, rebuild the whole ship at MovieWorld, or just maybe a couple of decks or something? Wow, that seems to me like such a big undertaking.

  2. narniafan4ever says:

    Sounding good! That is kind of funny that they had to abandon shop because of a dust storm. Not a normal experience that sailors get….lol

  3. Lutra's Pearl says:

    "Abandon ship!!!!!! There is a big dust storm!!!!!" That sounds so funny. Keep the story of Aslan alive!!

  4. Narnia Lover says:

    Lol that's funny!

  5. Narnia Lover says:

    Glad that everything's okay! 😀 Like 'Lutra's Pearl' said, "Abandon ship!!!!!!" 😀 That was really funny!!! Lol 😉 SAIL ON VDT!!!! 😀

  6. que padre esta todo esa información eh gracias bye

  7. Ramandu's Daughter says:

    Yeah, that's ironic. You wouldn't normally think of sailors abandoning ship because of a dust storm 😉

  8. The Archenlander says:

    can u say ironic, aren't ships spose to be afraid of hurricanes, not dust storms. lol glad everythings alright

  9. Fire Fairy says:

    No kidding, especially considering that it's expected to take them two weeks to get the ship dismantled, relocated, and reassembled! As long as they take good care of her (which I'm sure they will), I don't have any problem with the move. Although it is something to think about, whether this'll be the last time she's a complete ship during the filming, since I'm sure they'll put her back together after their done, since they're not getting rid of her. I really hope they put her back together as a full ship once they're done filming…they should make a hotel or restaurant out of her so as many people as possible can enjoy her!

  10. I think that the ship would be to big to rebuild in the warehouse so I think that if they film a certin sceen they would build the part of the ship that would allow them to film that certian sceen and store the rest of the part somewhere else so after they film that sceen they take the ship apart and then move on.

  11. Ya I thought filming ended last week. Good to hear otherwise. Thanks for keeping all of us in touch with whats happening all you^^. Now that I think of it that might be funny. I don't know mabey my sleeplyness is getting to me. Thator my head ache. OH well thats what happensall tired during the morning hyper then tired again. Long Live Aslan, Sail on VDT Ect.^^

  12. I don't know about a resturaunt, but they should at least like make a amusment park with rides and such but not the dawn treader actually being the ride I mean shes too spcial but have like a museum with REAL movie props not the fakes and her be the main exibit. I mean if they turn her into a hotel or something that would be a total waste of the crews hard work and how would you feel if some one did something like that to something you worked on really hard. I wouldn't feel they appreciated it.

  13. Mark Friedrich says:

    I can't believe that the filming was that quick, I kind of expected them to take Longer. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SHIP. By the way, After VOD is done, I sure hope Skandar and Georgie stay on as actors in other movies, they are REALLY GOOD, ESPICALLY GEORGIE.

    one time i don't wish i still lived in queensland.

  15. JadistarkilleR says:

    someone took a footage of the cast's last day of shooting on the Dawn Treader (Thursday, Sept 24th– after Wednesday's dust storm):

  16. Starlily says:

    Yeah, and can you imagine CLEANING the ship afterwards? Dust is so hard to get out!

  17. caspian&star4ever says:

    I think it would be pretty ridiculous if they did tear down the Dawn Treader completely after filming I mean they do need it or The Silver Chair. Other then that everything looks fantastic to me.

  18. Thanks for showing this, but if you watch it. it looks like they're pulling someone up from the ship.

  19. Well in the silver chair it doesn't say they used the Dawn Treader, but I think they should make a museum of narnia stuff like real props and have the Dawn Treader in it so that the crews work doesn't go to waste and that everyone can enjoy it

  20. Embrace says:

    Yeah I saw the pics from Sydney with those sandstorms…
    Looked like freaking Mars!
    Voyage Of The Storm Treader!

  21. narniafan4ever says:

    lol!

  22. Mark Friedrich says:

    Queensland is in Australia right?

  23. InLoveWithAslan says:

    Ha ha ha!!!! Funny very funny!

  24. Mark Friedrich says:

    Sniff, sniff. No more pictures of the Dawn Treader. Atleast I'll get to see it when the movie comes out in Theaters, that's good to know.

  25. Mark Friedrich says:

    What's so funny, I don't get the joke.

  26. Embrace says:

    Yeah I saw the pics from Sydney with those sandstorms…
    Looked like freaking Mars!
    Where´s that Marswiggler when you need him?!

  27. Mark Friedrich says:

    You mean Marshwiggle, not Marswiggle

  28. narnian resident says:

    a hotel would be awesome! i call Lucy's room! or maybe even caspian's room, with the lion head on the wall.

  29. narnian resident says:

    wow, cleaned the whole ship? that must have taken at least a day. i didnt know dust storms were a thing in australia, especially near the water. i wonder if it turned the water brown? oh well, at least maybe they wont have to worry about that after they go to their new location, hopefully.

  30. JadistarkilleR says:

    lol! good one!

  31. narnian resident says:

    you can see Lucy, Edmund, and Caspian standing at the edge. it kinda looks like a reaction after the MLG jumped off the boat, because it almost looks like Edmund is hugging Lucy like he did in that other video. with they could have gotten closer, whoever was taping. it looks really cool though to see all three of them standing together.

  32. narnian resident says:

    oops i meant WISH they could have gotten closer, whoever was taping.

  33. WillMoseleyandSkandarcrush! says:

    Hotel would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. WillMoseleyandSkandarcrush! says:

    Where'd you get the pics? I'd like to see them…

  35. WillMoseleyandSkandarcrush! says:

    When you type in capitol letters, are you screaming them? By the way, NOT especially Georgie. They're both terrific actors. They're so good, they're both equally good. Georgie isn't better than Skandar, nor Skandar better than Georgie. Kepp that in mind: EQUALLY GOOD!!!

  36. Mark Friedrich says:

    I agree with you narnian resident. That must of been a HUGE job.

  37. Narnian Jesus Freak♥(used to be celtic13) says:

    It WOULD be pretty cool if they used the DT in SC. 🙂 just a thought.:)

  38. Embrace says:

    Where is Mark Friedrich sense of humour hey? 😉

  39. Mark Friedrich says:

    I understand that. I shouldn't have. But i was saying that Georgie and Skandar should stay on as actors in other movies. I think that Narniaweb should have updates on them since that they will not be in any of the other Narnia movies beyond this.

  40. narniafan4ever says:

    wow! Those pics are crazy!
    *abandon ship! abandon ship! It's a dust storm! Abandon ship!!!!!!!* That still makes me laugh…. 😀

  41. narniafan4ever says:

    Well, they are in the Last Battle at the end of the movie as well as in the little dream that the captured prince had. (can't remember his name at this point…) The only one who is never returning is Susan (Anna Popplewell)

  42. Embrace says:

    That sandstorm look could have been included in the actual picture and storyline with The Dawn Treader "entering into a mysterious red and yellow fog" making everybody anxious of what was going on and about to happen…

  43. narniafan4ever says:

    haha…..good point. 🙂

  44. Zoe says:

    Anna, Skandar and Georgie might be coming back in HHB, too, depending what they do. Personally, I think they should use the older versions from LWW for HHB, but what does my opinion matter to them? 🙂

  45. narniafan4ever says:

    well, they could…but I think that in HHB, they are getting older, but not as old as they were in the LWW. Just my opinion. 🙂

  46. Mark Friedrich says:

    I'm not joking. In the Book Silver Chair, Puddleglum is a Marshwiggle.

  47. Mark Friedrich says:

    The Last king of Narnia in the Last Battle is named Tirian.

  48. Mark Friedrich says:

    Can you put it up on the photo galleries? of this website since I can't see the pictures.

  49. narniafan4ever says:

    if you mean the sand storm pics, try going to this link

  50. Mark Friedrich says:

    I can't my computer won't ler me.

  51. Mark Friedrich says:

    I meant I can't let me show other website realated to this report.

  52. narniafan4ever says:

    oh….sorry about that! 😀

  53. Fire Fairy says:

    Having Anna, Skandar and Georgie return for HHB could cause a problem, because in HHB their characters' ages are, respectively, 25, 24, and 22, whereas in LB Edmund and Lucy are 19 and 17. How would they pull that one off? On the other hand, Anna did mention the possiblitiy of returning for HHB, which would be nice for her, since she won't be in LB. Who knows what they'll do?

  54. Fire Fairy says:

    Auugh! My computer won't let me on youtube!! I want to see this! Could somebody please post the video on narniaweb??

  55. SavedByGrace says:

    The video was very unclear- I couldn't make anything out except "action". And, why did they jump?

  56. Fire Fairy says:

    I see your point, Aravis Tarkheena. Perhaps a hotel or restaurant would be a bit degrading for The Dawn Treader. My point is I think they should make her available to the general public…and while a museum sounds great, I just feel like she should be made useful, rather than put on display. Maybe it would be a better idea to make the original Dawn Treader into a museum with a Dawn Treader based hotel nearby…

  57. Mark Friedrich says:

    I can't see the videos

  58. narniafan4ever says:

    Well, I just watched it and it looks like Edmund and Lucy are talking with Caspian while a crew member is pulling up rope out of the water. That is all I can make out. Hope this helps. 😀

  59. Embrace says:

    Of course I know that.
    I meant a Marswiggle as opposed to a Marshwiggle with the first one helping out when a sandstorm turn parts of Australia in to places resembling the planet Mars.
    Drink some Fosters with chocolate at the Mars Bar…
