Filming Wraps on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

And just like that, filming for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader wraps up. According to the blog of Mirko Grillini filming finished up the afternoon of Nov 21.

As we have come to an end, the last opportunity of being all together was on Saturday night. My first hollywood wrap party…. wow. I can certainly do another one. There was so many people that I didn’t even get the chance of say hi to at least 75% of them.

It was great to see cast, crew and extras all together as one team, plus partners. Everybody was talking to everybody (or trying to) people dancing, the food was constantly coming around on large trays, and everybody seem to be happy.

We had finished the shoot late afternoon, just enough time to go back to the hotel, shower and get changed.

There were speeches from Mark Johnson, Michael Apted and the main cast, Ben wrapped it up with his amazing energy. I tell you what, he knows how to get the crowd going. He’s natural charm and portrayal are magnetic. Ben is not only a wonderful actor, he is a prince in real life, not because he’s from a royal family, but because he has an incredible good and friendly nature.

And now onto post-production!

Thanks to ellz_bellz for the heads-up!

    Yeah, but it will be sad to see Caspian really old and feeble….sniffle. It will be good to see Eustace again, I'm sure. 😀

  2. narniafan4ever ♥ says:

    Yeah, that was really fast! 🙂 We are getting closer and closer to opening night! We are about three weeks away from the one-year waiting time….sigh. 🙂

  3. narniafan4ever ♥ says:

    That trailer better come out soon! 😀

  4. Lady Galadriel says:

    William Moseley? It depends on whether his character would receive scenes in HHB, right? (Since the High King receives nothing more than a mention in the book.)

  5. Liberty Hoffman says:

    they are done filming? wait…..that means that Georgie and Skandar are done in Narnia until HHB! 🙁 that makes me sad!
    but at the same time, if filming is done, that is one step closer to the movie's release!

  6. Liberty Hoffman says:

    um, Peter isn't in HHB, as far as the book goes…..he is off fighting giants and is only mentioned!
    I don't think William Moseley will be in HHB, unfortunatly! 🙁 oh well. 🙂

  7. Liberty Hoffman says:

    yay! I had nearly forgotten Ben in SC too! yay! he will have to be in SC at the end! 🙂

  8. Narnia Lover says:

    !!!!!!! I can't believe that they're done! Closer to seeing the movie! SAIL ON VDT! 😀

  9. Fanofnarnia4ever+ever+ever says:

    WHOA WHOA WAIT A SEC! THEIR DONE FILMING COMPLETELY! Wow I had no idea!

  10. redeemedqueen says:

    And now for over a year of waiting during post-production…I'm hoping for a teaser by Christmas!

  11. Fire Fairy says:

    TumnustheBrave, they do plan on making SC. The only thing now is whether or not they get a good reception from fans for VDT. If they do, then they can go ahead with the next movie!

    And yes, it'll be nice to see Ben at the end of SC! It is disappointing that we won't see Skandar and Georgie for several years, though. 🙁 Let's hope we see them in HHB!

  12. Fire Fairy says:

    Yeah, unless they decide to give him a cameo or something. With the way they've been doing the scripts, it's very likely.

  13. narnian resident says:

    wow i had always thought a movie would take MUCH longer than that! well, of course there's all the editing and such, but basically the main part of filming is over! man…..that means this is our first farewell to the pevensies…until we see them again in HHB of course, and last battle. but by then they'll be grown up! omg! anyway, yay! i cant wait for the trailer im going to scream and jump no matter what they show. i'll see the title or the first clip and i'll scream! and i WILL recognize it right away! when we had seen the trailer for PC they had that first scene of Lucy and Susan running across the road then they show the lion statue, i gasped because i could recognize the girls from back there! and i whispered to my brother, "its narnia!" and he nearly choked on a piece of popcorn! lol

  14. narnian resident says:

    well, the film isnt COMPLETELY complete. they still have to go back and edit and do all that, and sometimes movies even bring back the actors and crew to redo scenes months after they left, so they might even do that. besides, we've still got more than a year to wait…

  15. Aslan's my homeboy says:

    So bittersweet I am going to miss Skandar and Georgie terribly 🙁 But I knew it was coming and obviously they have to move on with their lives and I am sure that they will do amazing things becuase they are both amazing people

  16. scrubb says:

    how long was the filming total? it seems just like a few months but the lww and pc both like 1 year and a half… it cant wait!!

  17. narnian resident says:

    lol i did that too when PC's trailer came out 🙂 watching the trailer over and over just gets me in a happy mood! but then it makes me want to see the movie more badly 😀

  18. narnian resident says:

    i agree! i was worried Ben was turning into a shallow man who didnt care about anything but his looks and girls. hollywood can do that to you. but it sounds here that he made a good impression. thats good.

  19. narnian resident says:

    ehh…PC was good, but i would say LWW was much better. you know what they say, sequels are never as good. im not saying PC was bad, i loved it! but, it wasnt as close to the book as the last one, but thats not all that defines a good narnia movie though. it just wasnt as good.

  20. narnian resident says:

    narnialover4ever is right, remember when PC competed with iron man? that was crazy and stressful! i can see clearly why they did it in winter to avoid intense competition. winter's just as good as summer: school brake, holidays, people going out to do stuff like watch movies-yeah, it works out just as good, and less stress too. also, having lesser competition would probably help the movie be successful, unlike PC that kinda flopped cuz of all the other summer blockbusters. remember they're grossing rate? much less than LWW, and i bet because LWW was in DECEMBER than in summer like PC was. they should do that with all the movies so they can be successful 🙂

  21. Little DLF says:

    Plus LWW was set mostly in winter, and was released in winter. I think they wanted to keep it that way.

  22. MurtaghLuv says:

    it was just a few months of actual filming. now they have to do the special effects and everything.
    the year and half of filming of the first to movies included this stuff. a lot of people say this is still filming even though the actual filming part is done.

  23. King Skandar the Just says:

    sigh…quite sad…quite sad…but then of course that tells us that they have what they need out of the actors and that we are all closer to viewing the great film they've made!

  24. King Skandar the Just says:

    Definitely. Very well said Aslan's my homeboy! Georgie and Skandar are definitely amazing people.
    Sail Onward Dawn Treader!

  25. Puddleglum says:

    I would hope that the producers see the wisdom of producing the next films closer together. As I mentioned in an earlier post, King Caspian, the adult, will definitly be out of place in a modern english schoolyard chasing bullies.
    Perhaps the producers will think of making A Horse and His Boy, and/or The Magician's Nephew while making the Silver Chair?

  26. Puddleglum says:

    It can be hoped that Georgie, and the rest are cast in the Horse, and His Boy. If they film that at the same time as The Last Battle, releasing it just before would be perfect.

  27. Puddleglum says:

    Thinking ahead, I hope that they have the bloopers that he mention in the DVD when it's released.

  28. Waleed Sajjad says:

    MUST HAVE TRAILER WEN WILL IT CUM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. lili☮ says:

    I read the dude's blog, who's arabella????
    please, i need an answer!!!

  30. fnafa4ever says:

    now the waiting sets in…

  31. coracle says:

    Of course some of us have summer in December….

    I look forward to some sneak pics and little teaser releases over the next few months!!

  32. Nicola says:

    Well I know for a fact that the movie is going to be amazing we got to watch it being filmed the most amazing experience ever bring on Dec 2010

  33. Mal says:

    Alright. Now we just wait…

  34. yeswelovenarnia says:

    well. i hope that this movie is not a disaster and they did stick to the book more than i think they did. i can't wait to see trailers though……

  35. adamie says:

    Wow, that is pretty strange. So Ben, Skandar and Georgie might be done with the franchise.

  36. Anonymous Narnian says:

    AMEN!

  37. Anonymous Narnian says:

    And with that, the Dawn Treader moves past the island of filming and on towards that of post-production. Sail on, VDT!

  38. Narniamiss says:

    I am guessing that they are talking about Gael, but I'm not sure..

  39. martinthewarrior says:

    sweet finally! now we might see some footage of the movie sooner…….AT LEAST I HOPE SO!

  40. martinthewarrior says:

    yes me to i cant wait for traiiiler

  41. WarriorQueen says:

    Wow! That was fast. Seems like I just was reading posts about filming starting just a day ago. 🙂

  42. Nuts4Narnia says:

    yes i agree book wise it had hardly any relation but 1 of my favorite scenes in the movie was when they raided the castle, NOT in the book but it was well dun, i hope they do it closer to the book this time but im sure whatever happens it will be fine it has a huge fanbase and really unless ur a narnia nut like us u wouldnt have noticed half of the "none relation"

    any who i think it while b fine the only 2 probs i have is that disney chikened out ( just for that i hope the movie goes over a million times better than even LWW) and andrew didnt direct this one

  43. Mrs. Peter Pevensie says:

    Good heavens! They are done already? My, my!

  44. relientkfan says:

    awesome, but i can't believe it's over already…

    is arabella gael? ("yes, Skandar, Georgie, Will and even Arabella had to take private tuitions every day between takes as part of their education progression")

  45. Narnia Is My Life says:

    Just to say it might not be Ben playing Caspian if he is really old it might be another actor!?!
    Because It's nearly the end of the film doesn't this mean that there isn't going to be any more post or do they keep on posting about what the actors are doing in their personal lifes????

  46. Duffleglum says:

    Just like that??????
    This is crazy exciting!
    I mean, to know that they have now filmed the entire movie, with all the new and old parts, and with the dufflepudds and reep going over the edge of the world…. astounding!

    It's over so fast, yet we wait another year til this film hits the theaters…
    I almost feel this film will be a great one, even if they did do some major changing!

    Now we wait……………..

  47. Duffleglum says:

    You can expect the trailer to be released in July…
    This is what happened for the last 2 Narnia movies.

    I will look forward to this summer like never before!

  48. narniamaniac says:

    Whoa! Is it just me or did the filming fly by in what felt like two seconds?!? I haven't been on Narniaweb for a while now, but I guess I missed a lot!

  49. Puddleglum says:

    I know I did not adress My Lady's fellings about the ending of filming, (Humble apologies), but be sure that they are felt by many.

  50. FrecklefaceJill says:

    I can't believe they've finished filming this quick! I looked at the headline and I practicly fainted. I still can't believe it……………….

  51. lili☮ says:

    Oh yeah! Thanks 🙂

  52. loverforBen says:

    Ok the filming is over and they don't release it until 12-9-2010? There is somthing wrong with this picture! I mean shouldn't they get it in theaters sooner than 12-9-2010! I think they are just trying to torture us!

  53. bignarniafan says:

    wow already done! I'm gonna miss georgie and skandar though.

  54. SavedByGrace says:

    Wow, that was fast. BTW, have they mentioned anything on the dufflepuds?

  55. SavedByGrace says:

    A holiday release would be so much better. I was so disappointed that they released PC last summer, and that it did bad because of that. May VDT have a better outcome.

    What, they're making another Robin Hood Movie? Who's making it and who's in it?

  56. SavedByGrace says:

    LWW was so much better! PC was good, but as a sequel…ehhh, they could have done better.

  57. NarniaLuver4Ever says:

    SavedByGrace: Yes they are making another Robin Hood movie. Universal Studios is producing it and Ridley Scott (who directed 'Gladiator') is directing it. Russell Crowe is playing Robin Hood, Cate Blanchett is playing Maid Marian, and Matthew Macfadyen. I'm pretty excited about, I hope it's good!
    P.S. I like your user name. It's so cool and true!

  58. NarniaLuver4Ever says:

    Hahaha whoops! I forgot to say Matthew Macfadyen is playing the Sheriff of Nottingham.

  59. tolkienlewisfan says:

    that was quite quick….
