New Set Photo of the Dragon Cave?
MundoNarnia has a new set photo. We don’t know for sure if it’s for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader or not, but it looks like it could be the dragon cave full of treasure.
They also have some concept art and set photos from an earlier shoot. You can check them all out here.
Thanks to Narniamiss for the heads up!
They should have a narator read that part of the story and then have him give a little background on what has been going on since they left Narnia….then again, maybe that would be a little corny….never mind….just thinking out loud. 🙂
If you are talking about that photos that we are seeing that have to do with Narnia, they didn't load on my computer….I had to click on the little square outlines and then the pic would come up on the screen. You just have to go back and click on a new square each time in order to see all the pictures. Let me know if this helped! 😀
btw…I didn't have to sign up to something on the website. Just click and vwa-la! 😀
yes i do think its the dragon cave
You know I've been waiting desperatly for news too but the first time I saw this headline there was already 124 comments.What do you guys DO???
Me too, narniafan4ever. 😀
lol. 😀
I think it would be awesome if this was for VDT. I can't believe that there is FINALLY NEWS!!! I can't stop grinning :D:D:D:D:D I love narnia! It is so fascinating.
Haha….we have all been so starved for news that as soon as we saw a new update, we all kind of jumped on it at once….lol 😀
I was thinking that took, Aunt Letty! That's too funny!
I didn't see the pic you all were talking about so I looked again. AKK! Caspian's hair looks CREEPILY like Strider…and with the addition of the beard….AKK x 2!
I just hope that they aren't doing it intentionally. If they aren't, I have nothing wrong with the costume. He seems to look kingly to me, but if they are doing it to intentionally remind one of LOTR…UGGHH!
I'm not too concerned about the ring. Surely it's just a royalty ring of some kind. Anyway, I can just imagine Ben wearing it for whatever little reason, and then of course here go we NarniaWebbers analyzing it! Haha at that.
FINALLY we have some news ive been wating for weeks! it looks cool! i cnat wait to see th first trailer or something big like that!
This is awesome!!!!! I only hope we don't have to wait until there's more than 400 comments on THIS story before we get some more news:) That last one was insane…just shows how crazy we are about Narnia!!
And seeing the pics of the truck reminds me…I really hope that the scenes with the "real world" are really good, like the ones in LWW. The opening scene and the train station scene as well as the ones inside the Professor's house really introduced the plot and gave us some really important info (ex. Edmund's estrangement from his siblings.) PC didn't really have scenes like that. I really hope that VDT uses a good balance of "here" scenes and "there" scenes too…hope I'm making sense:)
I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! I'M HAPPY NOW, THOUGH!!!
But how do you SEE them so early?!
It's called we check NarniaWeb 25 times a day, get disappointed when there's no news, write two or three comments, check again, get disappointed because nobody's had time to respond, check again… 😉
I love how the letters go off the text box. 😀
This is really random, but I just have to say I love your name. I take it you're a fan of The Black Cauldron, Star Wars, Narnia, and what else?
No kidding, it's only been, what, two days now, and we've already got over 100 comments! Can you say "Fanatic" with a capital "F"??
Haha no problem. I'm not sure why you can't see the pictures though, they're not pop up images either. Really strange.
I know finally we get some News!!!!!! For a while there i thought they had called the movie off!!!!!LOL!!!!
Fire Fairy — you've about described me literally. I probably should "get a life."
I am not quite /that/ excessive, but I guess that I am a twin of yours Princess Arya. 😀
End of news post: "You can check them all out here." Click on the hyperlinked "here" to go straight to the photos. 😉
What happened to the Dawn Treader? Check out the links in this story. http://www.aslanscountry.com/2009/10/dawn-treader-finally-leaves-cleveland-point/
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the dragon's cave. Why else would there be treasure laying right there in the front? But yeah, it looks amazing!
YAHOO! Finally some actual news. I was about to go insane.
So this is the mysterious set that was being built in the backlot. It looks pretty good. Plenty of treasure, for sure. I wouldn't think it would spill out the front like that though. I also would have thought the outside of the cave would have a little more greenery. Is this the inside? Wouldn't they have built the cave interior set in a location where they could control the lighting a lot more? Not that I know much about this kind of thing! Just thinking.
The WWII era stuff all looks great. As someone else mentioned, the bicyclist is a nice touch.
What's the fifth picture of? Or the middle picture on the second row? It looks blurry, and maybe like concept art. On second thought – the storm maybe?
Yeah, Caspian is starting to look like an Orlando Bloom/Aragorn mix. I think he looks good and everything, I just hope it won't look too obvious in the movie. :S We don't want anyone thinking Narnia is trying to copy the Pirates movies, or LOTR.
Ah.
I understand.
It looks like water, so yeah, I would say it's the storm, unless they are putting naiads in the movie. 🙂
Wow! Fire Fairy that's me exactly! My parents think I'm crazy, because I check NarniaWeb several times a day. They're like "What could possibly have happened in the last two hours?!" And my mom thought I was the only one… lol
NarniaLuv4Ever — before I got on NarniaWeb I thought I was the only one who is such a fanatic, and I told my mom so! She said that I can't be the only one. Behold, she was right! 😀
No, you are not the only one….I am on here alot too! That is funny! 😀 I guess we are truly Narnia Nuts! haha…
Lol! I need a new "Narnia-Nut"-like screenname. I'm not as big on Eragon as my name implies about me!
That's what your name is from! I thought it sounded familiar….well, now I know. 😀 btw…the fact that we comment so much on this website shows that we are all Narnia Nuts at heart. lol 😀 😀 😀
Look here!!!
Have you pay attention at the document on this photo: http://i051.radikal.ru/0910/f4/f9bb2969bc4f.jpg ?
Its term finishes on Dec, 31, 1943. I suppose such documents' term lasts for a year.
It means that the scene is laid in England on summer 1943. So Lucy and Edmund weren't in Narnia nearly 2 years? It's interesting…
Thus my user name,narniafan4ever!!!!
Glad I'm not the only one! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
OOOOhhh! Thanks guys! You're the greatest.
And that's the sound of Aunt Letty dopeslapping self…
Fantastic Fanatics. Huzzah! Narniaweb Fanatics are the best kind.
King Skandar, what about the way we see Susan moving toward the attitude that keeps her from answering the call in Last Battle? And the change in Peter and Edmund's relationship? In LWW, we have Peter rescuing Ed from his own "stupidity", and in PC we have a reversal of that situation, of sorts. It neatly foreshadows their roles in Narnia later in the film, don't you think? Feel free to disagree!
I love how Edmund plunges in to support his brother without having any idea what the fight's about. Then, minutes later he says, "I'm not holding hands with YOU!".
haha!!!!!! You make me laugh, Aunt Letty! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 K, I'm done now….lol
NEWS!!! Finally! I definately could be from Narnia, and I REALLY HOPE THAT IT IS!! 😀 Narnia is so cooooool.
Wow, NarniaWeb is the best website ever! Narnia Freaks unite! LOL
Oops, I meant "It" instead of "I". I mean, I definately am from Narnia but that's not what I meant 😀
Yeah, I know! Horray for NarniaWeb! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 (bet you'd never guess that I am a Narnia freak…..lol)
You made some really good points, Aunt Letty. I LOVED the part that you mentioned, where Ed shouts "I'm not holding YOUR hand!" Hilarious!
The characters' overshadowing was very subtle, if detectable at all. I know that in cases like these, where the Pevensie kids are maturing due to age and their experiences in Narnia, their changes must be kept subtle to keep it realistic. However, I wouldn't really say that Peter rescued Edmund in LWW; Aslan did. Peter's character isn't really developed through the transition from LWW to PC; he suddenly goes from being a great guy to being self-righteous. Ed does indeed save him several times; however this shows Edmund's growth, not Peter's. It shows how Edmund has caught up to Peter with respect to maturity/faith in Narnia. As for Susan, it is true that her initial reluctance to be back foreshadows her role in LB. However, I think that too much time was spent developing her relationship with Caspian, rather than her relationship with Narnia…one more reason why I didn't approve of that whole romance thing. When she's about to leave, she tells Caspian, "I'm glad I came back." Caspian should NOT have been the reason why she was happy she had come back…I'm afraid people were led to believe otherwise. The main point is, we want the average moviegoer (especially those who don't have any background knowledge of Narnia) to walk out of the theater understanding the importance of the Pevensie's absolute faith in Narnia as well as their evolution, as characters. In my opinion, the only one who was developed well enough was Edmund, probably because of the immensity of his "stupidity" back in LWW. The filmmakers had more to go on there.
I hope you see what I meant…did i write too much? Yeah, I think I did…oh well 🙂 The more the better. How do you spell Narnia fanatics? N-A-R-N-I-A-W-E-B-B-E-R-S!! haha
King Skandar,
sorry, I guess I didn't write ENOUGH:)my comments are too cryptic. What I meant was A. Susan's subtle interactions with the gawky young man at the newsstand and her absorption in the fashion mag. and, B. Peter "rescuing" Ed when the latter runs back into the house during the air raid.
What you said about Edmund's character development made sense to me. It's true that Edmund had the most space for character development. It's hard to imagine what else could have been done to give Peter's character an arc. As I've said elsewhere (at great length!), I found his behavior in PC painful to watch, but have made my peace with it.
I just sort of wince and close my eyes in response to the Caspian/Susan thing because I like the rest of the movie well enough, but I agree that it's distasteful. Your point about the "I'm glad I came back" line makes sense. It could also be read another way maybe; the filmmakers could be showing how flirtations and romance are becoming much more the focus of Susan's life than Narnia and the things it stands for are. It SHOULDN'T have been her reason for being glad, but since they had gone and established this whole romantic angle, and since her heart clearly isn't in the right place by the next time we "see" her in the books, I can see how it works to shift her from Queen Susan to Susan the Worldly. Still, that hug and kiss are hard to take. Seems most of the Narniawebbers are in agreement on that.
imagine what these boards will look like after the trailer comes out!
Yeah, I think we're mostly in agreement, Aunt Letty. And I had my a-ha! moment when you clarified 🙂 I know exactly what you meant now… thanks!
Actually, I kind of interpreted Ed running back into the house as kind of sweet; he seemed to be really attached to his father, more than his other siblings. Sure, it was stupid to run back in and almost get killed, but it was kind of like "awww.." Maybe the filmmakers did that to make him more likeable and not entirely bad, since in the book it's implied that he was fine until he started going to school or something. And with Susan, I agree that the mag., etc. foreshadow her role throughout PC and at the end of the chronicles. Her "glad i came back" line definitely implies what you said; however like the rest of the hints it was very subtle and most people would just take it at face value and assume she's talking about Caspian and not think about what she will be like later on in the books. I'm glad we're on the same page now 😀 You always have such good points to make Aunt Letty
"Sure, it was stupid to run back in and almost get killed, but it was kind of like "awww.." Maybe the filmmakers did that to make him more likeable and not entirely bad, since in the book it’s implied that he was fine until he started going to school or something."
Yes, I think you're right, there. He is pretty attached to his dad.
There's an aspect of Edmund that is almost missing from the films; he's essentially the 40's equivalent of a tech-geek. Even after his change of heart, he's still fairly argumentative and overly equipped with facts in PC. I liked the way that "electric torch" gave the nod to that part of him in PC.
Also, I feel like I should clarify something; when I said Susan's heart was in the wrong place, I didn't mean she was "bad", just that she doesn't want Narnia as much as she wants other things. Much has been made by critics of the books of Susan being "left out" of heaven at the end of LB. It's been said that she's cast into hell for getting interested in clothes and boys or for growing up, etc. I don't think that's what happens at all. I think she simply gets what she wants, and there's ample textual support for the idea that the others are sad about that, but I see no evidence that she's condemned by Aslan.
Shutting up now.
=-)
I agree that it's wrong and unrealistic to label Susan as condemned or something just because she places attention on "worldly" things; maybe more than she should have, but that's besides the point. It makes sense that since Susan was the last one to accept Narnia, that she would sort of lose touch with it after not being in it for a while (after PC). I love how you said Ed is sort of a techy-geek, never thought of that. But he is one, for sure. Clarifiation: an AWESOME techy geek, one that can swordfight, ride a horse, and fly with griffins, etc. Can't get much better than that:)
Yeah, I totally have a NarniaWeb shortcut on my favorites bar… My Dad actually blocked NarniaWeb with parental controls for a while because he felt I was being too obsessive and wasting my time… :S
But, yeah, the one of the reasons I didn't choose a Narnia name is because I didn't want to be like everybody else. At least it's not from some other movie or something, because Narnia is definitely #1 on my list. 😀
awesome! That is so cool!!!!!!
If you don't mind my butting in on this conversation, I'd like to add my two cents worth…
Aunt Letty, on Susan being "left out" of heaven in LB, I'd like to say that I feel those critics who think it means she went to hell are taking completely the wrong way. I'd always gotten the impression that even though she was "left out", she was also given another chance. Considering the fact that she was the only one in the Pevensie family that was not on that train when it crashed, she was therefore the only one that didn't die at that time. I always felt that C.S. Lewis was implying that Aslan was giving her another chance to come back, simply because she was not ready to come home. She had lost faith in Aslan and Narnia, so Aslan was perhaps giving her a little more time in the mortal world to redeem herself. And since Lewis never tells us what happens after LB, who knows…?
On the subject of Edmund's and Peter's individual growth, I think you both have made very good points. I always felt that the filmmakers pinpointed Edmund's trasformation and growth to a T. Peter on the other hand…
Oh, wow. I just realized I have somewhere to go. Stupid me, spending all my time on NarniaWeb. I'll have to finish what I was saying later!
That's really Cool i hope its for VofDT!
LOTR? Arwen?
OH MY FREAKING REALLY!!!!! FINALY SOME NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, i was going kind of mentaly crazy there… 🙂
Excellent points, both of you make.
It does seem as though Susan is being given more time to make her choice, doesn't it?
I don't believe we ever "get" a reward we don't want, and that divine punishment is more a matter of what you really want; do you want light or darkness? We choose. I don't think God wants us as hand-puppets, but as independent beings, to act for themselves. What would be the point of us, otherwise? How would we truly worship Him without Him having first created us to be independent? Which means, of course, that we have to be free to choose spiritual death, too. God lets us do that, though He does everything possible to help us choose life. He does not, however, rearrange truth so that we can have joy in choosing darkness, in choosing not-God. So, in my mind, Susan's choices are still open, but Aslan will not force her to heaven if that is not her choice. We humans often have a tough time giving and receiving that kind of love.
Ok, I may have just fastened a large bullseye to my chest with those statements…
