Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Reepcheep arrive on the shore at the end of Narnia. A huge wave of water stands in front of them and they walk towards it. Aslan’s shadow is seen on the beach. Lucy realizes that Aslan has joined them and is walking besides them. She turns…

Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: You have returned for a reason. You have come far. Now your journey lies beyond.

Aslan roars and a hole forms in the wall of water.

Shot of the Dawn Treader sailing on the water. Shot of Drinian and the crew at the helm of the Dawn Treader. Edmund and Lucy stand on the deck soaking wet wearing blankets.

Caspian: Behold our castaways, King and Queen of Narnia.

The crew bows.

Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep: Your majesties!

Dragon Eustace opens an eye and a reflection of Aslan is seen in it. Dragon Eustace appears to be injured as he tries to rise from a sandy shore. Aslan stands not far away.

Shot of Cambridge. Shot of the Dawn Treader entering a bay. Shot of Dragon Eustace diving towards the water and then flying alongside the ship.

Eustace on the deck of the Dawn Treader, very unhappy.

Eustace: Where in the blazes am I?
Tavros the Minotaur: You’re on the Dawn Treader.

Eustace faints and the crew laughs.

Tavros: Was it something I said?

THIS CHRISTMAS

Edmund, Caspian, and Drinian stand looking out from the side of the ship. Edmund looks through a telescope.

Coriakin: There is the source of your trouble.

Shot of the White Witch in green mist.

ENEMIES WILL UNITE

Coriakin: It seeks to corrupt all goodness.

Green mist surrounds the Dawn Treader and the form of the White Witch swirls past Edmund.

Coriakin: It can steal the light from this world.

The Dawn Treader sails towards the Island of Green Mist. The Dawn Treader sails through a storm.

AND THE ONLY POWER TO STOP THEM

Edmund holds a sword that suddenly glows blue. Coriakin points at Edmund.

Coriakin: That sword you carry. It must be laid at Aslan’s Table.

Shot of a cart being pulled through the streets of Narrowhaven. Shot of the three Lords at Aslan’s table waking up with all of the seven swords laid in front of them.

Coriakin: Only then can their true power be unleashed.

Coriakin throws a map across a room. Islands are seen growing out of it.

LIES BEYOND NARNIA ITSELF

Reepicheep: Aslan’s Country

Shot of Aslan standing on the shore. Shot of a rowboat rowing through a sea of white lilies.

Lucy: Do you really believe there’s such a place?
Reepicheep: We have nothing if not belief.

FROM C.S. LEWIS’ EPIC MASTERPIECE

Shot of Lilliandil walking through an island. She stands before Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy, and turns into a star and flies up into the sky.

COMES THE MOTION PICTURE EVENT

Water nymphs leap out of the water in front of the sailing Dawn Treader and dive back in.

OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Lucy stands in Coriakin’s library with snow falling all around her. She smiles.

Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, and Reepicheep stand at the edge of the ship looking down into the water. With a cry of excitement Reepicheep leaps into the water and lands next to Eustace.

Lilliandil walks along smiling.

Lilliandil: Travelers of Narnia. I am your guide.
Caspian: You are most beautiful.
Lilliandil: If it is a distraction for you, I can change forms.
Caspian and Edmund: No!

Caspian and Edmund look at each other. Lucy looks at them both and rolls her eyes.

Lucy enters into the Magician’s House through invisible doors that close behind her. Coriakin appears in front of his table and turns around.

Edmund, Susan, and Peter walk arm in arm through a lovely outdoor party. All smiling.

The Dawn Treader sailing through a gorgeous sunset.

Caspian looking stern.

Caspian: Now is the time to be strong. Never give in.

The sailors in the background cheer.

Coriakin stands in his garden with the crew of the Dawn Treader behind him. He throws something. Dufflepuds leap about.

Caspian, Drinian, and Edmund are walking through the streets of Narrowhaven with the people on the sides cheering. Rhince steps out from the crowd to speak to them.

Dragon Eustace flies very low to the water with the Dawn Treader behind him.

Someone (perhaps Caspian or Reepicheep?): No fear! No retreat!

Reepicheep swings around on a rope aboard the Dawn Treader. Dragon Eustace flies along carrying Reepicheep on his back. Reepicheep fights someone on the streets of Narrowhaven. Caspian fights a slaver in the Bell Tower. More fighting on the streets of Narrowhaven.

Shot of the Dawn Treader sailing through a storm. Shot of blue light shooting up from the seven swords and making a beam into the sky. Caspian and the crew shouting during a pitched battle with the sea serpent. Edmund holds the glowing blue sword out towards the serpent. The serpent dives towards him. Aslan roars on the beach.

    Ohh!! That moment with Aslan and Dragon Eustace on the beach is soooooooooo beautiful. The look is Aslan's eyes is beautiful. This trailer totally captured the spirit of the book! I have watched it five or six times already.

  2. Not Of This World says:

    Wow! Best Trailer yet!

  3. Am I the only one not happy with the trailer???

  4. grownuplucy says:

    Love the white witch's GREEN eyes! I hope that is forshadowing of the soon to come Green Witch in The Silver Chair!

  5. FriendOfNarnia2 says:

    I'm sure there is somebody out there who doesn't like it, but it isn't me. Sorry.

  6. Doug says:

    I think the trailer looks good, visually. But whether it truly is "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", or instead is "A Movie Based on the Characters in C.S. Lewis' 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' But Really Is a Recycled 'Lord of the Rings' Wannabe" is yet to be seen. We'll just have to wait and see the whole thing. (I can understand why they didn't use the second title idea, though – much too long for the poster.)

  7. Bethany Weathers says:

    This looks great. For the first time, I am super pumped for this movie.

  8. exactly this.
    I know we can't tell completely yet from the trailer, but it really does look like it won't be close to the spirit of the book 🙁

  9. dinode says:

    Unfortunately, I think you're right, and I am NOT pleased.

  10. dinode says:

    Enemies PLURAL!?!? The dark island was bad enough, but now we have dark island AND at least one other foe? If it were just the sea serpent I'd be okay, but it looks like She Who Must Not Be Named is also getting in on the act. 🙁

  11. jag says:

    1 MONTH EXACTALLY for me to wait!!! I am so lucky to be living in Australia… we get the film on the 9th Dec. not 10th… but we often do get them one day before everyone else!!!! GAH cant wait!!! AMAZING TRAILER. post it to facebook, so everyone can see it! 🙂

  12. dinode says:

    The movie storybook described a scene in which Lucy says the beauty spell, turns into Susan, and sees what things would be like without her. I hope that's not the case, but that's what it looks like.

  13. dinode says:

    To put it more politely, Jadis, AKA the White Witch, is NOT the Lady of the Green Kirtle. In spite of the fact that they used the same actress for both in the BBC version, the only thing Lewis ever says they have in common is that they are both northern witches trying to take over Narnia.

  14. Omac the centaur says:

    THAT. WAS. AWESOME. i am speechless. O.O this is going to be amazing!!!!!!!

  15. Talvi says:

    Wow. AWESOME! Though it brought up more questions than it answered, ha ha. X3
    For the most part I loved it, except for one part – ‘Enemies unite????’ if that has anything – ANYTHING – to do with the white Witch, I will NOT be a happy camper. Why can’t she just stay dead?? Edmund beat her in PC and wasn’t tempted by her. If he ends up giving in and ‘uniting’ with her… D:
    *ahem*
    other than that, loved it. a lot. <3
    Oh, and I'm 95 percent sure that 'No fear! No retreat!' Is Reepicheep. (It sounded like Simon Pegg – have heard plenty of him from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead! xD)

  16. Lucy Helen Ycul says:

    A better picture of Peter, Susan and Ed! Yeah!

  17. FriendOfNarnia2 says:

    This looks nothing like Lord of the Rings.

  18. Talvi says:

    this exactly. Repeated several times. XD

  19. Follower of Aslan says:

    I think this one is the best yet! Visually AMAZING! If taken really objectively, from a person who does not know much about Narnia, this story looks fun! Like an interesting movie to go see in theaters! Yessss!!! Stoked, excited, amazed, brilliant, and jumping for joy!
    (despite the semi-negative implications)

  20. Edson07bs says:

    YAY

  21. coracle says:

    Well, that was a great deal of fun and excitement!

    I continue to be very confident and have high expectations of this film.

  22. Prince Norin says:

    Best trailer yet! And my hopes are raising that we will indeed not see Susan and Peter in anywhere that is inappropriate… they appear to be in England, as their promotional clothing in all the posters and such suggested in the first place. I really hope that the whole "Narnian clothes" thing was just an adversising gimmick.

  23. De_De says:

    Wow! This is great! I love almost everything! I am of course sad about the seven swords. But if the movie turns out to be very good, then I think I'll be able to overlook it.

  24. SWEET!! This movie is going to be the awesomest ever!! :D:D Talk about EPIC! 😀 OH YEAH! :D:D *jumps up and down and squeels*

  25. JadistarkilleR says:

    wow that look a whole lot better than expected didnt it? 😀

    yes that was an understatement 😉

    my only issue with it was that they showed THE ENDING in the trailer. kind of a pet peeve.

    but anyway carry on.

  26. Christina says:

    What is the White Witch trying to do? Is she like in love with him or something?

  27. jag says:

    Actually there was a report out recently from someone who has seen the film, and they confirmed that the witches scene was very minor… just a dream that Ed has… so you can put those fears to rest! 🙂

  28. SilverChair says:

    I used to be very active in the NarniaWeb forums, but have since gone to lurking. Visit the homepage every day, and the viewing of this trailer has really, really moved me…causing me to comment! Best one yet, I think. The visuals are outstanding. Cannot wait to see this.

  29. JadistarkilleR says:

    i actually wouldnt mind this. Specially if we get Tilda Swinton back in the role.

    if theres one thing i learned from the LOTR fandom, is that extreme Purism (and Revisionism) never did a story any good, specially if you're trying to market this to people who arent part of the built in fanbase. Purists can bellyache all they want, but no one can argue the fact that Swinton can command the screen. And thats exactly what we need for whoever will play LOTGK. AND for simplicity's sake for those who dont eat drink and sleep Narnia (which is 95% of those who will see this) if they can have one constant that connects this whole franchise together other than Aslan (the representative of Good), then let it be that one constant representative of Evil in the face of the White Witch.

    Visualization people. Matters a lot in a communications medium called film.

  30. JadistarkilleR says:

    Doug, as the saying goes… There is always the book 🙂

  31. Serenia says:

    Visually stunning!

  32. Lillyput90 says:

    This is looking better! I like the way it is beginning to actually look like Narnia:). Don't really like the whole swords thing, or the dark island that eats souls, it seems very "Pirates of the Caribbean"-ish. I honestly can't see why they would put something like that in this story, as if nightmares coming true weren't scary enough – no! No, the island has to eat/engulf/whatever you like to call it, the souls of innocent slaves (Why even bother with the title "slaves", they should be called "victims we captured to feed the island"). I mean, what is up with this? Anyway……I like this trailer:)

  33. Talvi says:

    oh, really?? *takes huge sigh of relief* phew!!!! Thank you for telling me that, that just saved me a month's worth of fretting. XD *shakes fist at Fox* enough with the misleading marketing! xD

  34. john smith says:

    agreed

  35. dradl says:

    I…CAN'T….STOP…LOOKING…AT…IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Princess Lucy says:

    thankyou so much SParcher44…u definitely made alot of people happy today…I hope u and the rest of the staff working on this website really enjoy the film and end up watching it many times…this applies to all the narnia fans out there…we are getting closer…

  37. Sir Jack says:

    cant watch the trailer yet. 🙁 but i love the pictures. the 14th screen cap is soooooo great!

  38. Princess Lucy says:

    don't worry Louloudi the Centaur…hopefully its just the misleading message from the trailers…u know how trailers often reveal incorrect plots and subplots…

  39. Princess Lucy says:

    or it can be what lucy is looking at when she reads the book…i wonder what she exactly sees in the book..hmmm

  40. Bookwyrm says:

    So should Georgie play Jill and Aravis then since we already know she's a good child actress?

  41. McGunn says:

    Why are you not pleased? I think it sounds about right. Lucy does imagine a world where she's so pretty everybody circles around her and they forget about plain Susan…

    I thought people wanted the movie to mirror the book as much as possible and this would be a good opportunity to get to show a few shots of Peter and Susan as well.

  42. McGunn says:

    She does! That must be it

  43. Eviliini says:

    Well, the film will be beautiful, and there will be a lot of adventures. I hope there are some other elements of the book as well. Somewhere during the two hours we may see a glimpse of the masterpiece that Jack wrote. That is, if there will be any time left after the kids (not Aslan, of course) deal with the thing that "seeks to corrupt all goodness"..

  44. Pepper Darcy says:

    Number 7 (screen cap) looks like they turned around and weren't expecting Aslan to be there behind them 😉 Screen caps look wonderful!! 😀 From THAT it looks like it was a great trailer!

  45. Pepper Darcy says:

    from looking at the screencaps… this movie. is. going. to. ROCK! I love the screencaps of Lucy/Ed hugging, and then of Reepicheep diving in to Eustace! SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO cute! Reep… SORRY, but don't be so stinkin' cute if you don't want fan girls on your tail– ha, ha, couldn't help THAT pun! 🙂 And the DI looks *wicked* good. It looks SO much like 'a bank of cloud on the horizon' rather like what Lewis wrote about it! 😀 This looks so much like the Narnia I felt when I read VotDT for the first time! 😀 I LOVE these screencaps! 😀

  46. Namira says:

    Oh my! I am trying very hard not to get extremely excited about this. I do not want to raise my hopes like I did for Prince Caspian and be disappointed, especially considering this is top favorite book, next to Horse and His Boy.
    But the newest trailer is so beautiful and is what I have been looking for since the original teaser.
    BIG TEE! Hurray for NARNIA!
    (then remembers she needs to calm down and not get hopes up…hurray!)

  47. DanielmyBrother says:

    This looks great. I'm so excited. I like the scene of Aslan and Eustace in dragon form. It got me emo.

  48. samuel says:

    "…AND THE ONLY POWER TO STOP THEM… LIES BEYOND NARNIA ITSELF (Reepicheep) 'Aslan's country'" Aslan's country FTW!

  49. Not Of This World says:

    I love how they always end with Aslans roar

  50. TheDiamondRose says:

    Oooh! 😀 I am getting very excited about this despite my past worries. it looks like it's going to be an amazing film! WHOA! The visuals are incredible! I absolutely love image 58, it's my computer backround now. 😀

    FOR NARNIA!

  51. Twinimage says:

    VDT is going to be so visually pleasing.
    And from the reviews from Tirian and others, I'm still quite optimistic about this. This trailer does seem misleading.
    My heart leaped when I was Aslan and Dragon Eustace together! This gives me hope that Aslan may actually rip the dragon skin off as in the book! 😀

  52. WarriorOfNarnia says:

    What is your opinion on this Glumpuddle? Gymfan? Rilian? I would love to hear about it!

  53. I posted a bunch of screenshots I took yesterday, along with my commentary of them, at http://picasaweb.google.com/danielmjames/VoyageOfTheDawnTreaderTheatricalTrailerScreenshots#.

  54. adamie says:

    Now this looks good. I'm actually excited again for this film. They somehow do seem to get the themes right.

    'We have nothing if not belief.' you've got to love reepicheep!

    If the whole movie is something like this, even with the added plot, I'll be pleased.

  55. Sarah says:

    Looking good! The finished shots are gorgeous. The music didn't seem to match with the scenes too well. I wonder if the production team for trailers on this project is new at it? I hope Lucy doesn't really say "Do you really believe there is such a place?" It's a pretty big change from the book line, "But do you think Aslan's place is the sort of country you can, well, sail to?" She doesn't disbelieve what she knows of him (that he is from "over the sea") but wonders if it's possible to sail into his country like any normal harbor. Hopefully this is one of those lines they record just for the trailer.

  56. Sarah says:

    And yes, another v-cast or podcast is in order!

  57. Matsi says:

    Awesome trailer! But I wish they didn't change Reep's voice… It's too different…

  58. Manuel says:

    I totally agree.

  59. always narnian says:

    I laughed at the part with Susan, Peter, and Emund. It was so random and funny… 🙂
