AslansCountry Posts Detailed Scene Descriptions
The same footage screened in New York earlier this week was screened in Los Angeles today, and Cyclops from AslansCountry.com was in attendance!
I don’t think there are any major spoilers that were not in the two previous reports, but this report is much more detailed (including exact quotes) and fan-oriented.
One interesting bit clears up the controversy over Eustace referring to the Pevensies as ‘orphans’ in one of the clips. AC writes: “Michael Apted explained this, saying it was meant to convey they were separated from their parents at the time because of the war.”
And, here’s a bit from the scene just before the Pevensies and Eustace climb on board:
Ed, Lu, and Eustace are seen swimming in front of the Dawn Treader.
They try to swim away, but are almost ‘ran over’ by the ship. Three or four sailors (including Caspian) jump in to save them.
Caspian: “Susan! It’s ok, I’ve got you!” Lucy: “It’s me, Lucy!”
Congratulations Cyclops! It’s great to see Fox wanting to connect with the fan base.
Dang, harsh much?
Won't…read…any…spoilers…*gasps for air*
Don't…know…if I can…last…
Aiiiiii, the agony!!
*passes out*
Haha, I'm the exact opposite! I saw/read all the spoilers for PC (and was glad I did, because I wasn't stunned by…a certain kiss). But I also missed getting to experience it all new and fresh… My goal this time around is to watch nothing but the official trailers. (Of course I've heard a bit about magic swords and white witches, one can't help that, but I refuse to see anything specific!) So far, so strong… 2 more months…
Yup, that is one bad burn.
That is WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!! Why do you have to do it again?
I didn't follow Prince Caspian at all… theprincessspy, be glad you knew about it ahead of time. Being a hardcore fan, after that kiss I spent two straight days as mute as I posssibly could. Shock. 😉
However, if it makes you feel any better, there doesn't seem to be anything so bad looking at all the details.
I agree with Lucy-
Fanfics are much cheesier.
I can tell that the whole Caspian thinking Lucy is Susan thing will be incredibly awkward. I can see myself in the theater when he calls out to her. I'll just out of no where be like *BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I meant Suspian fanfics- because I can't imagine that line appearing in any other one. Most of which are horrible anyway.
This line, in a different context, looks like something else entirely.
I think the Susan thing is supposed to be funny…not anything romantic. I mean, Georgie does look a lot more like Anna now that she's older. There is no way Caspian would've figured out who it was from all the way up on deck. Plus, it might be in there to emphasize the fact that "oh, btw, Susan's really a prat now" thing that they've been pushing since LWW. So it'll probably work.
also…
Caspian: “You are a star… You are very beautiful!” Lilliandil: “If it is distracting you from your mission, I can change form!”
Ed and Caspian: “NO!”
HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROFLMAO
In my opinion, I love "Suspian." (Although I hate the name.) I think it made the movie much more grown-up & real, like it could actually happen. I mean, he was a gorgeous prince & she was a beautiful used-to-be queen. They were also around the same age. I think it makes perfect sense.
Anyway, back to the present movie being made. I read the whole review & loved everything! I think that when Caspian calls Lucy Susan, it's just a reference to how much Lucy LOOKS like Susan, not that he's still remembering her. (But I think it'd be really sweet if he did.) 🙂 And I know there's a lot of you out there who probably don't agree with me, but I think that a few changes to the book will be good for the movie. Remember, just because a few details are different in the movie, doesn't mean it will be a bad movie. Don't judge a movie by its book. I'm excited for the finished product because I think what they have so far sounds fantastic! 70 days! 🙂
These changes might be petty to you, but for those of us that actually care about seeing a decent adaptation rather than Michael Apted's Narnia fanfic these changes are anything but petty. As for Caspian's line, it should be fairly obvious why people are worried about it meaning Susaspian is being resurrected. When last we saw Caspian he had just finished playing tonsil hockey with Susan. Now the first line we get out of him in VDT is him mistaking Lucy for Susan. Sure sounds like he has Susan on the brain to me.
Oh, I know what you mean! All the time in real life, adults walk past each other in hallways, share a glance and a few comments and then decide they're in love and kiss. Very realistic and grown up.
It isn't the "Susan!" thing I'm worried about, as there are several explanations for it. But the "NO!" from Caspian *and* Edmund is mildly disturbing. Ugh. From what Apted said, it seems like he wants to be faithful to the books but this addition seems rather contrary to those motives.
For crying out loud, we don't need to appease obsessive fans by love triangles… [/rant]
It would be completely fine with me if everyone just forgot Susan had ever been born. What a stupid thing to do to a wonderful book…
It hardly has any real honor in it if you ask me, which is mainly why I dislike the pairing so much. I could probably learn to deal with it if it seemed more developed and all. Not like Caspian and Susan's hormones were simply on fire. So… teen-affied. No offense as I am (almost) one myself.
Off track, back on: This is so not romantic. This is said while three kids are drowning, remember. It's probably just to somewhat satisfy Suspian fans who are curious to see how Caspian handles Susan being gone. After all, Susan mentions a handsome navel officer and Caspain finds Lilliandill or whatever her name is. No problem, both have gotten over each other, and ka-booey goes all the canon fans worries. (Even though hardly any seem to realize it yet.)
No worries- the person who wrote the article for that mentioned Lucy making an exaspeerated look, as if "she was thinking, 'boys will be boys'". So I've given it some thought, and it's very likely brief, unimportant, and just for humor.
It would be sort of weird if we didn't get nervous, which I get as well as anyone, Bookwyrm. I mean, we're fans, right? But this… this overall reaction is way overboard. Why are so many people looking at ONLY the negative side of this?
I like pirate music too. 😛 Can't wait to hear it.
I think Bookwyrm is really upset about the new reports about seven swords and bringing the WW back. Don't take what he says personally–he's just releasing his tension. 😉
Yes!!! Oh my gosh, if they actually put that in there. *haha
Hmmmmmmm. . . .@!$%^%$%!!!!!?%$%^$@!!!@#@#$$#@#$%!!!!!!
Caspian is NOOOOOOOOOOT supposed to like Susan anymore!!!!!!! I hate that!!!!!!!! "Oh, Susan! Don't worry! I'll save you!" That just makes me MAD!!!! And it will ESPECIALLY make my sister mad who likes Caspian! She USED to like Susan, (that was BEFORE she saw Prince Caspian) but not anymore. She almost DEPISES her now. I don't really like her anymore either. . .She changed. ALOT.
Again, CASPIAN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE HER ANYMOOOOOOORRRRRE!!!!!!!!!! HE GETS MARRIED SOON FOR PETES SAKE!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Sorry. Just a "little" too paranoyed here.
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! GIVE IT A REST HOLLYWOOD!!!!! SHEESH!
Though, I confess, I actually pretended that Lucy did get a little, quick, didn't-last-that-long crush on Caspian. . . .But still, I hope they don't make her have a crush on him anyway. It will just ruin it.
I agree with you Not Of This World, the ONLY love in the Narnia books were between Aravis and Cor, and Caspian and Lillindil.
Pff. . .it's funny, like, 80% of us Narniawebbers hate Susan. . . .:P Sorry Sue.
aye aye aye,Caspian never forgot his 'first true love'
I DON'T WANT REEPICHEEP TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was my fav besides Lucy. He is too funny the way he says can we throw him back? LOL!!!!!!! I just got over that Peter and Susan were not going to be in it. And now this. But I am glad the Caspian will remember Susan. If they are going to have Prince Caspian that way they should carry on with it through VOTDT. BUT I don't want Lucy and Caspian crushing on each other. It would be so gross. But all in all it sounds like it is going to be an AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!! YAY!!!
Well. . . .That was a major spoiler. . .:P 😀 LOL
I KNOW!!! I'm going to cry like a baby when he leaves!!! "NOOOOO! REEPICHEEP! DON'T GO! WE LOOOOOOVE YOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!" (That was Rex in Toy Story :D)
And I'm ESPECIALLY going to cry like a baby when Edmund and Lucy leave!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Caspian thinking Lucy is Susan symbolizes how much Lucy had grown, so if you think about it , it's really no big deal. The next line will probably be like… Caspian: "Really? you grew up so much since I saw you last" or something like that… just my opinion.
Dude what is your beef? Must you be so peevishly rude to everyone on here who doesn't agree with you? Honestly, for your snippy comments, you're being much LESS adult than Susan and Caspian randomly kissing. So there!
But that would hardly make the critics happy, and many people rely on critics to decide whether or not they're going to go see a movie. :/ And I mean, come on, I doubt it's going to be that bad. If it is, yeah, then we can all cry. 😛 But for now, it's just one line. In my opinion it's hardly something to freak about.
too much more of this and i'm going to explode
Susan?? Sorry Caspian, Susan goes apostate and doesn't think you're real anymore.
Of course, that line reminds me of the snippet we've seen where Lucy is looking in the magic book, and when she sees the spell for beauty she sees herself as Susan, so it's probably supposed to help connect that…??
Um, it's kinda weird caspian thinks lucy is susan! supposedly he falls in love with ramandu's daughter and they get married!
I agree:-DDD but lucy does look a wee bit like susan, i think that susan and william should be in the beginging
it would be neat if that's what happens, because that's exactly what the Dufflepuds would try to do 🙂
I think its kind of funny! just hopefully they dont push it. its fine if he asks how peter and susan are. but if he pushes it uh, then it would be kindof weird cuz he falls in love with lilliandil in the end.
lovein' the spoilers 😉
don't know how i feel about caspian calling lucy susan…but im sure it'll all work out. my other concern…the dufflepuds kidnapping lucy and forcing her to read. in the book, the treated the dawn treader crew and lucy very nicely. can't wait to see it tho!!!
Once I read it, I LITERALLY "LOL" (laughed out loud). I found that funny! But, I think I see the point thaat he's not supposed to remember her;
Since he's going to marry Ramadu's daughter anyway, why did they make Caspian remember Susan?
But, I'm fine with this! It's hilarious!
Well, that isn't such a grown-up reaction either. "So there?"
I really hate correcting you like that. Please don't take it the wrong way.
I know everyone is freaking out about Suspian and I don't want to repeat anything that's already been said, and argued, and dissected, and analyzed, etc. i mean seriously. But we need to appreciate the filmmakers' efforts to keep some continuity going after PC. It's not like the scene where Lucy is in the water and Caspian on the ship will be like Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene, just flipped. I think people are overreacting either way.
The only thing that worries me is that Caspian will seem kind of fickle, and at the very worst a mild case of being a womanizer (not like that, just liking a lot of girls) because we know about Susan and we know he will marry Ramandu's daughter. It will be hard to take his character seriously if he seems so fickle, and I don't want that happening.
I know exactly what you mean I am a little nervous about it coming out in December that to much will be changed.
I have no idea what Apted is going to since in PC what with Suspian it's going to be weird since Caspian is supposed to marry Ramandu's Daughter (Lilliandil)that was a not smart idea and I knew when I saw PC that the next movie was going to be difficult because of Suspian.
How loyal he is
Aaaaaaaaah! Oh my gosh. I had so much faith in the film makers. Go on to youtube and watch GlumPuddle's 'Chrinicles of a Narnia geek ep.129'. Noooooooo. The brought the White Witch back in Pince Caspian. Not the best of ideas but at least there was some basis in the book even if she is not even in it. But wow! I repeat Aaaaaaaaah! She is in the 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'! Aaaaaaah! Not just as Edmund dream on the dark island but as the main villan. Help us! Save us from the evil Hollywood! Aaaaaaah!
Calm down JustANarnianFan, I hate it too but there is nothing we can do. it's already been filmed. No use getting al crazy over the white which. Maybe the makers didn't want to the movie to be just like the book, so we all won't know exactly what happens.
No, Snowing Roses, I'm not upset/offended. I only meant "So there" for emphasis, but I can see how it could easily have been taken as "Smart mouthed" or "an immature way of replying to somebody else's childish comments" so I will apologize if you like. Perhaps my comment could have done just as well without the "So There" at the the end. You may be right; I love your username by the way, it's pretty.
I think that this phrase of Caspian it´s more a scriptwriting tool than a subtle hint of a love affair in the film. Somebody said it before, perhaps they want to show us how Lucy is tired of being compared with her sister.
Take attention to the line: Caspian says: “Susan! It’s ok, I’ve got you!”, and not “Susan, my love! It’s ok, here comes your Prince”. I mean, just imagine the scene from Caspian point of view: He is on board of the Dawn Treader and suddendly see three kids in the sea, all the three nearly the same tall. At the distance he recognises Edmund, so perhaps he imagine that the other two were Peter and Susan, not the little Lucy he saw years before.
And what ever happened to the last scene of the movie Prince Caspian? Didn't Susan tell Caspian that she and Peter were not coming back? This makes Caspian look really bad.
Dudes…..calm down. Everyone. Whether you love like or hate Suspian, we are all here because we share one thing, our love for the amazing fanasy that is C.S Lewis's Chronocles of Narnia.
I think the "Susan, I've got you." said by caspian, could lead to Lucy wanting to be more beautiful like Susan so that people don't say,"Hey that's the pretty girl's little sister,". they will say "Look at Lucy, see how pretty she is????"
Anyhoo….If they make Caspian a guy who swoons over every girl, instead of being a gentleman, i will lose respect for the filmmakers.
But i hope that the epicness and amazing special effects live up to the standard that the first two installments have set.
Long live Aslan!
Or Edmund comesin "AWWWWKWARD!!!!"
Followed by awkward silence……
Long Live Aslan!
Not Susan, but the whole Suspian thing.
One thing I'm annoyed about:
He goes from "It's ok, Susan, I've got you!" to "No, Lilliandil! Don't change! I like you just the way you are! You're hot!" Can't he just stick with one girl? Don't be a player Caspian!
I think what they're going at is he's so "in love with Susan" that he is desperate to see her. Personally, I say, get a life Caspian! Susan can't come back! Get over her and go to Lilliandil like you are supposed to………………
Arn't we a ray of sunshine, Bookwyrm?
Yes! THANK YOU CASUE!!!!! Everyone needs to breathe and just wait for the movie to come out. AFTER THAT you can all fight about Suspian, blah, blah, blah. But not now! Just wait until December 10th or 9th or whenever it is coming out for you. Watch it. Cry in the movie theatre if that's your thing. Analyze it at home, by yourself, quietly, without the comments of other Narniawebbers. Just wait, breathe, and rip apart the movie like a pack of starving wolves LATER. I repeat, LATER.
Cute, and in character, but with one leg/foot apiece? The logistics…
Hmm. Nitpicky, I know, but what bugs me a little is that based on what the "spoiler-rama" says, Ed is behaving not a lot better than Eustace, maturity-wise, at the moment he reenters Narnia. It feels "off". To go back into Narnia in an angry, unkind frame of mind. Shiver!
What I always loved about these characters, I think, more than anything else, was that they were so noble-hearted and grew to be more so as they…well, grew. They gave me an ideal. Stories that do that deserve the lavish devotion these books have inspired. I get it that the movie-folk don't feel this type of character "works" on film, and I get why, but,…has anyone tried it out?
The best movie experiences I've had in the past couple of years were with movies I didn't expect too much from, which then far exceeded my low expectations (why I was wasting my time on films I didn't expect much from is another discussion 🙂 )So, I'm not going to lay too much weight of expectation on this one, and see what comes.
Okay, I have to confess that I actually laughed when I read the whole "I've got you, Susan!" line, but I certainly hope they don't drag the whole stupid, stinky Suspian junk into VoDT. Suspian in PC was TOTAL nonsense.
Alright, I've got that out, but now, more importantly, didn't anyone else catch it???!!! That whole line about Caspian and Ed yelling "NO!!!" It makes it sound like Ed is going to fall for Lilliandil too!!! *extreme rage* NONSENSE!!! ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!
*passionate pleading* PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! DON"T LET IT BE!!!!!!!!!!
*suddenly calm again* Other than that it sounded great (mostly). Had some superb stuff!
I confess I haven't read through ALL the posts.
I think Caspians reference to Susan is merely in not recognising Lucy immediately because she has grown up so much. They are both wet and in the middle of the ocean too. I wouldn't read anything else into it!
Sorry if Im repeating an earlier post.
