Behind-the-Scenes Video: The Picture in the Bedroom

A new 10-minute behind-the-scenes video reveals how the filmmakers achieved the scene where Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace are drawn into Narnia through the picture in the bedroom.

It turns out they did not fill the room with water. Instead, they locked the camera down and sunk the entire set into the water… creating the illusion that the water was flooding out of the picture. Safety was a major concern of course; the actors all had to receive scuba lessons in order to film the scene.

    Wow !!! I"m real happy for you !!! I can"t wait to join, but I am only 12. I think someone should start a headline on here about your club !! That way, more people could join. Have fun at the club !! Do you know how to start a headline on here ?

  2. Princess Jennifer says:

    Don"t talk to this morron Michael, He wants to take some girl to a personal chatroom and do something bad. Look on the headline about how to audition for Jill Pole. He is near the end. Don"t talk to him !!!

  3. Princess Jennifer says:

    Do you know how to make a headline on here ?

  4. Princess Jennifer says:

    Yeah, I know it was wrong, sorry. I am a new person now. Thanks Queen Elizabeth !!! Thanks Michael !!!

  5. Queen Elizabeth says:

    To Edmind's Queen: You are so cool! lol 🙂 Finally a fellow Skandar lover with as much passion as me (ok that sounded odd but you know) I came up with the t-shirt idea long ago 🙂 I want mine to be black with medium blue lettering.

  6. Queen Elizabeth says:

    So my day was just ruined. Apparently Skandar is an atheist, and I am a Christian. That was just a stab to the soul.

  7. Princess Jennifer says:

    I am So sorry !!! But Susan is a strong Christian, and Peter is too. Georgie is as well and I looked it up, and it said Edmond is too !! I hope it shines some light on your day. I am so happy though that you are a Christian !!! I am too !!! Now I feel even better. I hope you do too !!!

  8. Skandar-the Great says:

    Wow! My bad! I'm really not that bad honest!

  9. Skandar-the Great says:

    I'm a christian too.And I didn't say I did that anyway.

  10. Edmund's Queen says:

    I need to learn how to create a blog, 'cause there is so much I want to say to all my dear fellow teen fans. 🙂 It would be neat if one of us could make the shirts and find some way to distribute them! We'd probably have to make "Team Peter" and "Team Caspian" t's as well because, you know, they're gorgeous too and some girls out there just might like them better. But as you all know quite well, I'm an Ed girl.

  11. Youngest Narnia fan says:

    I have been a fan before I can remember! Thew day I was born my brothers and sisters said what the Dryad said to Reepicheep over his cradle. 🙂 i AM II KNOW AND STILL LOVING IT! I think the scubba lessons were cool.

  12. Youngest Narnia fan says:

    I am 11 and would like to be in the tween club. That reminds me of the the lord of the rings were for hobbits the age between 21 and 33 you were a tween. I have been a Narnia Fan since before I can remember.

  13. Edmund's Queen says:

    Princess Jennifer, I wish I could see you now so I could give you a hug! I also have a sister who's twelve, and I met a girl in the play I just performed in who is twelve and twelve year olds are great! Don't feel like you need to be a teen to be accepted by teens. Oh, and the three musketeers thing I said was referring to Skandar, Will, and Georgie; there's three of them, so i thought "Hey, the three musketeers!"
    To Queen E: I loved Skandar's remark too. Actually, I love everything he says.

  14. Avalona says:

    I'm in the UK anyone know where I can view this?

  15. Edmund's Queen says:

    I want really badly to include you. You know how it can be with exceptions though; you let one in, then they all want in. You know, I think maybe we should lower the age to twelve. But that's as far as I'm going, I think. We should have special pictures next to our names for club members. Maybe a certain Skandar pic? idk

  16. Edmund's Queen says:

    I love how there's also so many Christians on here! I feel right at home! Skandar-the Great, welcome to the club! I have a picture of Skandar in my diary and I have kissed it before and I open my diary every now and then just to look at him.

  17. Jill_Pole says:

    *sulking* I will watch this video somehow!!!

  18. Princess Jennifer says:

    I thought I was the youngest Narnia fan here !!!! I am releaved that I am not the youngest. At least, I hope. How old are you ? I am 12. I will be 13 in Sept. I am dying to join the teen club.

  19. Queen Elizabeth says:

    I think there should just be Team Edmund and Team Caspian. Becuase they do fight a lot it VDT lol

  20. Princess Jennifer says:

    Oops !! You already said you were 11 sorry.

  21. Queen Elizabeth says:

    Yea my little sis is 12 too 🙂 She is a Will P. fan. She's not as into Narnia as me but when she saw him she was like "oooohh he's cute!" And I'm like not as cute as my Ed. lol (She thinks Skandar is odd, I think she's nuts)

  22. Queen Elizabeth says:

    Actually in a written intwerview Skandar said he was an atheist so… 🙁
    But I'm really glad the rest of them are Christians too 🙂

  23. Princess Jennifer says:

    To The youngest Narnian fan : I am super happy to meet you !! I think it will be fun, our club, I was wondering…….Since you are the first to join the club I was wondering if you would want to be vice President of the the preteen Skandar cllub. I will give you any position you want in the club. Merry Christmas !!!!

  24. Queen Elizabeth says:

    THAT IS CRAZY! I have a whole spread in my diary dedicated to pictures of him!!!!!! You are like the twin sister I never had!!!! 🙂 How do you put a pic as your icon on here?

  25. Princess Jennifer says:

    Yuck !!!! I agree about how many Christians there are !!! I am a Christian too !!! You kiss his picture ? Yuck !!! Yuck !!! Yuck !!!

  26. Princess Jennifer says:

    Yeah It"s ok. I"ll get there. You are so compassionete but I know that you probably don"t want to make an exception and it will make more sense to have it only teens. Thanks a bunch though !! I might come anyway !!

  27. Princess Jennifer says:

    Oh, I"m REAL sorry, I didn"t mean to give you wrong info. That is sad…… Maybe if one of us go into the movies, we could tell Skandar about the club. So, What will you do with the club ? You could pick a different character to make a club about.

  28. Princess Jennifer says:

    Maybe if movie people saw our pictures, they would be even more eager to pick one of us as Jill !!!

  29. Edmund's Queen says:

    don't forget Peter though! Remember, he and Caspian fight in PC. You know, Peter and Edmund are like trying to kill Caspian and then Susan goes and kisses him! LOL

  30. Princess Jennifer says:

    Thanks. You really have encouraged me. I hope you have fun in the club even if you change the subject.

    To Edmond"s Queen : Now I get it about the three musketeers !! That is funny !!! Thank you for trying to include me. I will be happy until Sept. Even though I can"t wait to get to Sept. So I can be a teen for the club.

    To Queen Elizabeth : I thank you too for trying to include me !!! You both are like the big sisters I never had !! I really don"t have big sisters but You are older than me, and you are so sweet !! Thank you !!! I hope you both have a Merry Christmas !!!

  31. Edmund's Queen says:

    I have two little sisters and both are Skandar fans like me, only not quite as passionate, as you put it, lol. I've noticed you use the word "odd" quite a bit. I say that word all the time and no one else really does, except for you. It's kinda odd.

  32. Edmund's Queen says:

    I want to meet you Queen E! I have a friend who likes the same movies and books as me but she's a Johnny Depp/Ben Barnes person. I know what you mean about the pics; I just can't figure it out! Maybe we should ask glumPuddle or PeperDarcy.

  33. Edmund's Queen says:

    I wouldn't be so sure about Skandar. You never know what sources you can trust. He is a great, great, great grandson of Charles Darwin though.

  34. Edmund's Queen says:

    I live on a mountain ridge, so there's lots of trees around and I have pretended (even at age 16) that I'm walking through the Shuddering Wood or the orchard at Cair Paravel. Once when my sisters and I were staying at this empty house in Florida (it had been my great grandfather's we were there for his funeral) we walked into one o the empty closets and imagined we were going to you know where.

  35. Edmund's Queen says:

    Oh shoot, snap, and double darn it! I just read on a Disney site that Skandar's an atheist. I even googled "skandar keynes christian" and everything came up atheist and non christian. I wish I could witness to him somehow. Why must the hot ones always be inbelievers? It's horrible!

  36. Princess Jennifer says:

    I know I should probably know this, but ………Who is Charles Darwin ?

  37. Edmund's Queen says:

    oops, I meant to say "unbelievers"

  38. Princess Jennifer says:

    Maybe if you would go as Jill Pole you could get to meet Skandar and then Witness to him.

  39. Princess Jennifer says:

    Cool !!!! When we moved to our house It was empty, and I pretended it was Narnia. I also have an orchard and in spring, It is like the trees are dancing. They are Beautiful !! I wish I lived in the mountains !!!!!

  40. Princess Jennifer says:

    I have a friend that sounds lie Queen Elizabeth too !!! She is in NE and she is 20. I Don"t think she knows about Narnia.

  41. Princess Jennifer says:

    Yes you did !!! lol !! Just kidding

  42. Princess Jennifer says:

    Lol !! Do you think it"s odd ? Maybe were oddballs, No, I think I"m odd because I"m an oddball. lol !! I never noticed that !!

  43. Princess Jennifer says:

    I know how to make shirts with pictures on them. Well, There is this shirt making kit you can get at Wal-Mart.

  44. Warrior 4 Jesus says:

    Princess, my comment wasn't directed at you but Skandar the Great. Being a Christian has nothing to do with it. It has more to do with you girls being hormonal teenagers. 😛

  45. Queen Elizabeth says:

    To Edmund's Queen and Princess Jennifer: I really wish I could meet you guys in real life. But it's hard cause we don't want to give out personal info. And my parents don't want me to be-friend people I haven't met in person on facebook 🙁 But at least we can talk on here. Maybe in the future if I am working on a movie and you guys are still on here I can tell you guys where to come audition for it (if I need girls for a role 🙂 You guys are my online sisters. Whenever I am in the woods behind my house and pretend I am in Narnia, I will think of you guys.
    HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

  46. Princess Jennifer says:

    Yeah, It"s ok. My parents don"t like me meeting people if they aren"t in person either. Well, At least we can talk right ? I am very happy that I am able to talk to you two and everytime I go out to my woods I will remember both of you and pretend we are together, with Lucy, and All the other Narnian creatures. Have a Merry Christmas !!! It is Christmas Eve Eve !!! lol !!!

  47. Princess Jennifer says:

    Oops !!! Sorry !!!

  48. Not Of This World says:

    Anna is? I just knew William and Georgie were. That's awesome! But lets pray for Skandar!

  49. Edmund's Queen says:

    Oddness rocks! Maybe I'll name my narnian fan blog "Narnian Oddballs". Long Live the Oddballs! 🙂

  50. Not Of This World says:

    To Princess Jennifer: Darwin is the guy who came up with evolution.

  51. Edmund's Queen says:

    To Princess J: Charles Darwin came up with the idea of evolution, you know, man evolving from apes and throwing out the truth that God created man. It's not a good thing.

    I love you both so much! I'm not allowed to share personal info either. I really should start that blog. Are you guys homeschooled? I am. I know that was random, but I was just curious.

    A very Merry Christmas to you both! I may or may not be able to get on tomorrow; lots of cooking for Christmas, you know how it is. I love you!

  52. Princess Jennifer says:

    Oh, I should have known that !! I AM Homeschooled !!! I can"t believe you are too !!! Cool !!! I probably won"t be writing alot tommorrow because I have to cook. Christmas. I LOVE it though !! Well, I guess maybe the day after Christmas or so I will write back. Sorry. I will try to write back ASAP!! Merry Christmas !!!! I hope you get everything you want !!!

  53. Its not just outside the U.S. I cant see it and I live in the U.S.

  54. Princess Jennifer says:

    When do you and Queen Elizabeth think you will write back ? I will try to be on here tommorrow and Maybe Christmas. I Love you two !!!

  55. Princess Jennifer says:

    When do you think you or Queen Elizabeth will write back ? Just curious. I will try hard to write again tommorrow. Merry Christmas too both of you !!! I Love you two !!!

  56. Princess Jennifer says:

    lol !! Yes you could !!! If you don"t do it on Narniaweb ( witch I hope you do !! ) Please tell me what website it"s on so I can see it !!!

  57. Queen Elizabeth says:

    I am not homeschooled, but I go to a very small school, my highschool only has 250 students in all. My little village is out in the middle of no where 🙂

  58. Warrior 4 Jesus says:

    Princess, not exactly. Obviously Eustace is a little brute but the book doesn't mention that he called his parents by their Christian names out of disrespect. This is what the book says,
    "There once was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. His parents called him Eustace Clarence and masters called him Scrubb. I can't tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none. He didn't call his Father and Mother "Father" and "Mother", but Harold and Alberta (Lewis, C.S 1990, 25th edn. p.7).

  59. Edmund's Queen says:

    OMG, I can hardly believe you're homeschooled, PJ! (sorry about the nickname, I had to abbreviate) Queen Elizabeth, your school sounds cool, as well as your little village out in the middle of nowhere. I'm in the middle of nowhere too. I might be able to get back to you tomorrow, but if not, probably the day after Christmas. I've looked into creating a blog and it looks pretty simple. I'll notify you when I have it up and runnin'.

  60. stateofgreen says:

    It's what W4Jesus said. Eustace hasn't been properly disciplined as a kid. Kids and parents aren't supposed to be on equal footing. Kids are supposed to respect and obey authority (i.e. their parents). He has to get used to be "spanked" by Reep in the swordfight later. Tough love. 🙂
