FINALLY. My hope for this movie has been restored! It doesn't look *great* (stupid plot changes…ack) but from all the trailers and posters and whatever other promotional material we've been getting up to this point, my hopes for the movie had all but vanished. It looked seriously terrible, in my opinion. This this trailer…wow. I have hope once again! π
THIS IS AWESOME,NOW I'M REALLY PUMPED FOR THE FILM'S DEBUT!!!!
Now thats more like it SOOOO excited to see the movie now and also the witch appearing makes perfect sense to me now
I don't think it does, Lulu.
When she appears to Edmund in his dream, I can understand how that would definitally make sense. But when she is materializing out of a green cloud, if you look closly, she is in Caspian's cabin, and CASPIAN is sleeping in a hamock at her feet…..VERY weird.
Yes and the comment that she "can steal the light from this world" just makes me want to go "Oh, PUH-LEEEZE! Come ON! that is so clichΓ© and unorigional. Ah, well, with all my complaints, I'm still looking forward to the movie, just looking forward to it as a movie LOOSELY based on the book. Some parts (like the one I just mentioned) are sell-out cheezy, but the rest looks pretty good.
Ok I know everyone thought the Eustace Fainting scene was funny, and yes, while the idea of it is funny, when I acually saw it on the trailor, it looked very er…not acted well. The screaming tantrum part was great, the fainting kind of looked like a young kid would do it in a low budget school play or something. It just didn't look natural or real. hopefully that was not the final take. I could make a double dozen other complaints, But I won't because I LOVED some of the other parts so I'm trying to let the good outweigh the bad! (and the cheezy)
I don't know, Kris, Eustace looked seriously traumatized to me… =)
I loved seeing the Dawn Treader on the water.
same here!
Me two or three). π I also liked seeing more of the Dawn Treader's crew. π
YAAAAA They kept the music, I saw trhe sea serpent (Maybe I can get over the plot changes) I'm excited
I do wish they'd stuck to the mission being to find the missing lords, rather than "swords unleashing magic", but still – this looks like it will be a good movie! I hope π
The minotaur is plastic or puppet looking. I don't know if I like that.
I thought so too! The Minotaur looks quite fake I just can't get over it!
Shots are often used in trailers before their fully finished, hopefully he'll look more realistic in the movie.
that's what I thought as well. The animatronic one in LWW looked real and the PC one looked decent but this one…
I really don't get why they've switched to CGI minotaurs. The guys in suits looked fantastic in LWW, so why go with something subpar this far into the franchise? :S
These are guys in suits. Believe me "On set" they lookes real enough.
I don't think they look plastic at all … maybe we just need to see more of them.
They were not CGI'd though. Real guys working in very hot suits.
o my goodness o my goodness o my goodness!!! this is amazing!!! i am really impressed! and i just love the part with Caspian and Edmund saying no to Lilliandil XD
AWESOME !!!!
3 MONTHS !!!!
π
π
LOVE NARNIA
ahahahahahahaha Eustace fainted, i love that.
ROFL at eustace fainting. So funny when caspian and edmund both say no when ramundu's daughter asks if she should change forms then lucy rolls her eyes π
I just can't wait. I'm resolved to the fact that a book is not a movie and a movie cannot be the same as a book. I'm looking for a wonderful movie that captures the spirit and basic story that Lewis meant to tell – I hope this will do that.
ThatΒ΄s the right attitude π
Why can't a movie be like a book? Is this a law?
Because a book and a film are two completely different media that work under different rules. DT is a very episodic book that would NOT work well on film if it was adapted directly. It would feel too flat. No overarching storyline with a proper dramatic tension, climax and final resolution. Why are so many "book purists" refusing to admit this? :/
Actually, Tauriel, as someone who has written for the stage and studied creative writing, I've seen plenty of "adaptations" that were poorly done. It's true they can't be exactly the same, but when a screenwriter completely redoes a story for commercial reasons and strays from the central themes of a book (in effect "dumbing it down"), he betrays the author, the audience, and the art, and no one benefits but a few Hollywood moguls whose profits are based on the first-weekend box office numbers. I'm going to do my best to suspend judgment until I've seen the movie, but right now I'm concerned. An episodic story works when the film emphasizes the personal journey. I'd be fine with that and even with some rearranging of events, but the "magic swords" plot has me concerned. Writing an entirely new story with events from the book has never left me satisfied. But I suppose until I'm writing film adaptations myself I never will be.
I kind of seem to remember there being an overarching plot along with several subplots. But apparently if the fate of all Narnia isn't at stake, the ADHD kiddies won't be entertained.
Hey, if you look really closely at the picture of the swords crossed (either pic 47 or 49) you can see the Witch's Knife from the Stone Table off to the right. That was in the book. I'm glad they have that in here. =)
REALLY AWESOME PREVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's in 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks pretty impressive, but the seven swords thing looks super lame… kind of odd that they just threw them on top of the White Witch's wand/stone knife/whichever that is supposed to be…
The sea serpent fight looks epic, though I don't like it that Eustace is still a dragon then.
IΒ΄m just trying to imagine how this movie will look in 3-D. IΒ΄m pretty sure it will be far better than Avatar π
I doubt it. Avatar was filmed in 3D and was designed to be viewed as a 3D movie. VDT is a post-production conversion of a movie never intended to be 3D.
Oh my goodness! I can't breath! I'm so thrilled to see VDT that I'm going insane with joy! π
I'm sorta speechless. I would absolutely LOVE this if I had never read the book before.
All the same, this will be an awesome movie.
But it does, in fact, look like the somewhat "peaceful" Dawn Treader will be taking a spin in the "epic" tempest.
I'm still bouncing off the walls with excitement though.
SAIL ON VDT!! π
Wow. I am posting this after seeing the trailer for the first time. I am still trying to digest the material, but here are my overall thoughts.
Wow. Eustace is perfect! I laughed when he fainted after he saw the minotaur. Boo to the White Witch still, but we will still have to see how big the sword plot really is when it's December 10th. Dragon Eustace looks really cool, as does the Sea Serpent. It does look as if it could really scare some younger children. And the effects look a ton better than they did in the first two trailers. And the trailer seems to show it is a serious movie, unlike the first trailer. Score: 8/10
The subtitles were funny. "Nie, Eustachy, nie!"
I thought I was the only who laughed… Hahaha π
lol My roommate walked in when I was watching the trailer and I paused it on this shot. She caught sight of my computer screen in mid conversation and was like, "What in the world are you watching?!"
Amazing – looks fantastic!
That was so amazing! I am sooooo excited now! Please hurry December!
Oh yeah, the Dark Island actually is darker now.
This takes me back to when I downloaded the LWW trailer (with French subtitles!). It even has the same music. Well, the trailer is a mixed bag. It has some good moments, like Eustace's "Where in the blazes am I" scene. He really looks into his role! Reepicheep on the prow in the rain is a beautiful little moment, though very easy to miss. Liliandil's looks are growing on me, and her voice is lovely. And the snow moment is magical, as always.
But the main things that stick out are, of course, the disappointments. The plot changes, namely. Why exactly did they need the whole seven swords plot? Other movies have gotten away with vague plotlines (Spirited Away, for example) and have had plenty of critical acclaim. But from the looks of this trailer, critical acclaim isn't what they're going for. $$$$$. I think Tilda Swinton must be blackmailing the production or something. Why does she keep coming back, for Heaven's sake? The smokey things flying around in the Dark Island scene (?) look like rip-offs of Harry Potter-type magic, as do a few other scenes. I'm not happy at all with the whole Liliandil/Caspian/Edmund and the Edmund/Resurrected White Witch thing. It's like the production's idea of growing up is 1. Becoming brave (it's a biggie), 2. Dealing with massive pride issues, 3. Falling in love, and, at least in Lucy's case, 4. Being okay with your looks. Couldn't we have some more subtle character development? In PC, what was meant to be character development (I'm assuming) blocked out the rest of the character. I wish they would have learned their lessons. π
I agree. I am not very happy with this at all. First of all, why people wanted Narnia to be made into movies was because of the books. Can't people understand WHY some of us our upset? Because we wanted to see the books, not THIS!
"I wish they would have learned their lessons."
So do I…
But, considering (as I understand–I could be wrong) that the script writers haven't changed from the last two movies, we shouldn't be surprised if the "feel" of the movies (plot changes, cliche lines,etc) doesn't change either. The writers probably have their own style, and I doubt they'll change it for this movie since the two movies done so far were extremely successful (PC wasn't as, but still–up against a lot of other films it was huge). They'll probably just do what they've done before. We probably will see changes in other things though. The things that Michael Apted has control over etc. We should look for those…I am curious for one!
I like how eustace fainted…SO FUNNY!!!!! and i think that the trailer is AMAZING!!! cant wait to see the midnight premier!
The trailer looks so cool… but the plot is ALL WRONG!!!
I agree totally with Lououdi the Centuar. I loooooovvvvveeeee this trailer. It is way better than the others, and the music is great. I was getting a little nervous about the composer changing. And the special effects are sooooo uch better it's just amazing.
EPIC… gah i watched that with the biggest smile on my face… the first two trailers looked very 'home made' and not great quality! but this was just AMAZING… CANT WAIT
OMG!
THIS IS TOO AWESOME!!!!
I really can't wait for it, everything is just so 9000% awesome!
Ok, take my opinion or leave it. I'm sick of people saying how they are so mad that it is not like the book. We all know that it is not going to be exactly like it. The makers are basing it on the book, hence why it says "based on the epic masterpiece." i am just glad these movies are being made. We can take it and always remember the way that it was originally written, which is great for reading and then get a new perspective with the movie, which we can love as a completely different story. Books are made for readers, and Movies are made for viewers. Movies are not made for readers, otherwise why make a movie exactly the same to a book. I am completely fine with the changes, but that does not make me any less of a Narnia or C.S. Lewis fan. I love the books separately from the movies, and vice versa.
Coming from a movie fan not the book fan, I 100% agree with you! ^^ If they don't like the changes the don't watch it hahaha
And if you don't like our comments complaining about the movie, don't read them! HAHAHAHAHA!
That's too childish of you, but I fairness to you Bookwyrm you gave me an Idea LOL! HAHAHAHA ^^
The reason we wish it was like the book is because they call it the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
well then y make the movie? we already have an image in our heads. that would make it boring if it were exactly the same. i love the narnia books. and i love the movies equally.
Childish? Really? All I did was quote you and change some words. Guess that means your comment was childish too.
Why even make a movie based on a book if you aren't going to follow the book's plot? Why not just make an original movie with new characters and settings?
LOL! @Bookwyrm You prove me right! HAHAHA!
Prove what right?
The point is…people wanted Narnia to be made into movies because of the books. So why not follow the books? See what happend with LWW and PC? PC pretty much failed because the plot was sabotaged, LWW did better- and it followed the book better…
The white witch looks like it could actually be the emerald witch. Weird
She looks like Jadis to me (you know, the White Witch who is dead?)
when the light flashes on the WW she looks kinda scarey if you ask me. and when they both scream "Edmund NO!!!" i think it is so cool! I think it is going to be an AWSOME movie though… even if it doesnt stick to the book
O…MI…ASLAN!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO EPIC!!!!!! DEFINATLY THE BEST OF THE 3!!! MY FAVE PART: WHEN LILLIANDIL SAYS SHE CAN CHANGE FORM AND CASPIAN AND EDMUND SAY NO AT THE SAME TIME π π π
I REALLY CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT! LESS THAN 70!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!
This is the best thing ever. Just sayin'.
I think your username is the best thin ever, Sparky, or should I say AREM.:)
*screams like teenagge girl*
"If it is a distraction for you, I-I could change form."
"NO" *On the floor rolling with laughter*
Lucy-roll of the eyes
Over all looks EPIC
Entertaining
Pretty
Imaginative
Cool
Can't think of any better words
Narnii???
Nei Eustace Nei!
Polish (like all Slavic languages) is an inflected language, meaning that nouns change endings according to grammatical cases. In this instance, "Narnii" means "Of Narnia", as it's the genitive case. π
Wow, do you see the part where Caspian is asleep and the Witch first appears? I wonder if they're going to try to pull an "inception" on us where the witch can only appear while one of them is asleep due to her being only a nightmare or something. I dunno.
That would be kinda neat. But then the producers could argue that she isn't really "alive" again. She just hauntes the land of nighmares…..but it's still a neat idea!
oh, but Edmund is sorta "awake" during the dark island…..a neat thought though.
OMG!!!! This is realllyyy brilliant! I can't wait!!!!
Actually, Jadis being in Caspian's Cabin makes perfect sense if she is appearing in a dream, any book fan knows that Caspian, Ed, and Eustace were sharing a cabin. I have mixed feelings about this. So much has changed. I cringe and hold my nose at some of this stuff. The Dragon/Serpent scene kind of looks like what would happen if Saphira (Eregon) turned tan and battled the Krakon (Clash of the Titans).
The scenery is so beautiful. Liliandil is almost exactly how I pictured her (but the Ed and Caspian agreement on her was very Peter/Caspain tension-esque). I don't think I am going to dislike the stuff they have changed from the book as much, but it still may be a bit of a pill to swallow.
Sweetness. I'm so excited for this movie. Looks spectacular.
This is by far the best trailer of them all. I love the part where Lucy is posed to shoot an arrow. My favorite part is where Will says: "WHERE THE BLAZES AM I?!?!" and the minatour (not sure how to spell it) says, "Is it something I said?" My family watched that scene over and over!! I'm so going to see it opening day and this trailer is going to my favorites!!!!!!!
FOR NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFJ
Wow. Awesome CGI and VFX. If the rest of the movie has as good quality as that, it should be worth watching. Plus awesome cinematography–love the shot with Eustace and the sea serpent fighting; those lines are wonderfully done!
Even though they didn't follow the book very closely for plot (and since I'd just be stating what other people have already, I'll keep my mouth closed on that, π ) little details still stayed the same. Did anyone notice that Lucy is reading the book of spells standing with her back to the open door? Just like in the book. π Love that image, it's just how I imagined it. π
wow! this was really good! It looks awesome! I can't wait!! π
I like that ship in the dark with some dim light! It's chills!! π
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! That looks sooooooo COOL!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, my gosh. . . . .I REALLY liked how they put the old, very first, Narnia trailer music in their. . .brings back SO many memories. . . . .I just LOVE how Edmund is tempted to join the White Witch. . .Though I do admit the White Whitch thing is REALLY getting annoying. . . Oh well, It's still really cool!!!!!! π π π π π π π π
A mediocre trailer, but it's good to hear the old music from the LWW trailers. Good Lord, that brings back some memories.
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! LOOOOOOOOVE IIIIIIT!!!!! I love how Edmund is tempted by the White Witch! And how Caspian and Ed both like Lillindil! Like Euestace as a dragon. . .He looks nice and simple. . .just how I wanted it to be. π π π π π π
So…for me, this trailer is 20% nice and 80% sad. It would be an interesting movie if it were not just changing the heart and core of the book. We can count on you, Michael Apted! …. π
Well, I guess I'd just better wait for December 10.
YYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! This one is is much better then the other ones!! I love it. Can't wait till December!!! Keep the story of Aslan alive!
Eustace is amazing! Will Poulter is truly an excellent actor
Interesting. It seems they've taken the metaphorical struggle against temptation and brought it into the literal realm to be represented by the force "threatening to steal light from this world" and the quest to place the swords. I like when characters have clear obstacles to struggle against. It won't be exactly the book, but I think it could work well.
And if you're a girl who's spent any time around teenage boys…Edmund and Caspian's reactions are spot on! π
This trailer is far better than the previous two! No I am not a fan of the whole 7 swords thing, it is extremely cheesy. But the CGI is so much better then i thought it would be, Aslan and Ustice as a dragon look great.
When i first saw Ramus daughter i didn't know what to think but she is definitely growing on me, and Reepicheep is as good as ever! My favorite part is Lucy when it's snowing it always gives me chills.
Lastly i love how they used the music from LWW it just seems to tie the books together.
We have hope! Sail on Dawn Treader!
Loved the nostalgic music!! Whoo!
YEAH! AMAZING! SAIL ON VDT!
No matter what they've changed, Aslan is still on the move. That's the most comforting.
couldn't have put it better myself π
AMEN!!!!!!!
WOW.
this looks incredible!
the plots changes are obvious, but so far they look great!
i loved edmund and caspian both saying 'no..' at the same time to lilandil.
eustace seems perfect, thats exactly how i imagined his little temper tantrums, and his fainting was hilarious!
i like the fact edmunds role seems intensified to what it was in the book, he deserves it.
all the effects look great, im really excited!
i cant get over how much lucy has grown up, she's very beautiful.
all in all, VDT looks fantastic!
My impressions:
1. Wow, the CG graphics are a lot better in this trailer.
2. Eustace is awesome
3. Hmmm…the minotaur looks kind of like a toy…but ok
4. WHAT HAPPENED TO ASLAN????? He's twice as small as he is supposed to be!! In PC he's Lucy's height, and every book he's supposed to grow bigger:
"In describing the scene Lucy said afterwards, "He was the size of an elephant," though at another time she only said, "The size of a cart-horse." (VDT)
5. "You are most beautiful!"
"If…If this distracts you from your mission…I-I can change form"
Ok…that was an awkward line–not good at all.
6. Oh, no, there they go about the 7 swords and 7 lords again.
Basically, I am pleased with the action, with the effects, and the acting. I am not at all pleased with the changes. I don't like them at all. I can only hope for the best…but expect the worst.
remember, every year Lucy grows, so does Aslan. π
I don't like the whole "dark magic" theme of this trailer, but that's okay because it's just a trailer. The CGI is a little better, and I guess it'll be adequate in the movie. And of course I don't like all the changes they've made, but I was prepared for them. So…
I guess it'll be all right. But I want to see more! There's so much they DIDN'T show, like parts at Narrowhaven, more of the Dufflepuds, and Goldwater Island. So I'm really reserving judgment until I can see more. Can't wait for the movie! π
Okay, so I watched the trailer again by myself this morning…and now I'm really excited. π Even if there are some major annoying changes, there will still be good parts. Maybe it was the trailer music that got me excited. I love "Here Comes the King"–it sounds so epic. π Can't wait to hear some of Arnold's music from the movie.
Wow! I think WM did a much better job on this trailer as opposed to their last one. I liked seeing Eustace as a dragon and seeing the sea serpant!
i got chills when it showed the Dawn Treader
*squeals with delight* I am SOOOOOO excited! This is so cool! although I felt like puking when I saw the white witch….
Eustace looks HALARIOUS! Lucy looks really grown up, which kind of surprised me, because I thought she looked about the same in the other trailer. And as for Caspian…..what is with the beard thing-y?! Could his hair get any longer OR greasier? It looks like he hasn't taken a shower since the last film! LOL, all the same, I'm still really excited! π
Can't wait for the Dec. 10th!!!!!
A great improvement from the last trailer so I am much happier. I like the LWW trailer music, but recycling it for VDT seems like another attempt to go back to LWW (think of the new poster).
