Disney dumps Narnia! - Page 4

me9996 · 07-17-2009, 10:54 AM

Hmm... On the original topic of this thread, I'd think disney dropped the Dawn Treader because they couldn't fit an epic battle in

...
Nah, but it had bothered me that they put so much into the epic battles and now they're going on a slow boat to the edge of the world, I wondered how they would handle it and now I know.

P.S.
I didn't follow the link at the starting post, I very seldom follow links like that anymore, nothing personal, I'm just paraniod

P.P.S.
Not clinicly paraniod...

So, according to Narniaweb, filming has officially started on "Voyage." Any last wishes before they film the crucial scenes?

Me: I hope they don't bloat any scenes into being more important than they are. Probably the three most important scenes are: when the kids are captured and sold into slavery, the island where Eustace becomes the dragon, and finally the lamb and the lion. Then again, the wizard in the house, and the gold-turning water island....well, they're all pretty important now that I think of it. I hope they do justice to each, and hopefully realize this time that when it comes to "battle scenes," less can be more, and the author's intentions are good enough as they are.

I am completely in agreement with your wishes about the battle scenes.

You guys kill me! Expecting Hollywood to get "less is more" and that an author's intentions count?

Still one may wish upon a falling star!

When did we hear that they're doing "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"???

hectorberlioz · 08-03-2009, 03:36 PM

Thay've been at since last year

. They switched to 20th Cen. Fox, from Disney. Disney wasn't happy because there were other blockbusters that beat out PC.

Midge · 08-03-2009, 04:15 PM

well, I knew that Disney dumped it (see title of this thread). I didn't know someone else had picked it up. I left in February. That's not "since last year"...

Hi, by the way.

hectorberlioz · 08-03-2009, 09:34 PM

Hi back to you

. What's been going on lately?

It's last year to me

How many years old are you then?

Haha... Good question, Varna... actually, the answer might explain a lot about Hector...

Indeed - and notice the lamp in the top of one of the masts. I guess King Caspian had a certain historical model for making that lamp, don't you agree?

hectorberlioz · 09-04-2009, 09:14 AM

The lamp was a great touch.

In newer news, here's Ben Barnes (Caspian) talking about VDT:

Quote:

"There are some big pitched battles in this one, swords and action," he reveals when pondering his forthcoming adventure, "although this film is more about magic, creatures and discovery. I am looking forward to seeing Caspian a few years later, as a king, playing a character that isn't so vulnerable and fragile this time around. And playing a king, I think that has to be pretty cool. The king is in charge, for a start, although then the kids turn up and they kind of [steal his thunder] a bit!

"But I am looking forward to it. After all, as a kid you dream of wielding swords in a fantasy adventure."

From:http://www.narniaweb.com/news.asp?id=2305&dl=24628925

Sooo...."big pitched battles," yet more about "magic" and "discoveries."

GrayMouser · 09-11-2009, 09:56 PM

Big pitched battles?

Where? The only place I could think for them to possibly squeeze one in would be in the taking of the Lone Isles, but that's right at the beginning- not usually where you want them.

Let's see, a secret Calormene fleet has been following the Dawn Treader to ferret out the Secret Power hidden at the World's End. Catching up to the them at Aslan's Country, a huge pitched battle follows in which the Sea Serpent reappears, flanked by the Sea People. A battle fleet of Monopods comes paddling over the horizon to the rescue, but meanwhile the Evil Monsters from the Isle of Dreams make their appearance.

Just when all seems lost, Aslan appears and calls on Ramandu and his daughter, who come blazing in using their star power. Alas, it proves too much for Ramandu who burns out, leaving a touching death scene with his daughter, who is then swept into Caspian's arms....

unfortunately the Narnia Chronicles have to live up to LOTR . And Disney is not the company to do it . They want big bucks return.
Maybe CS Lewis was right in not letting these tales be made into a moview when he was alive. I hope he & Aslan would visit the Disney exc's that approved this mess.

What do think of the newest one, then, not financed by Disney?
Does Voyage of the Dawn Treader - financed by Fox - live up to your standards?
(They are all made by Walden Media, though, not by Disney or Fox.)
