"Chronicles of Narnia 3" Began Filming This Week
>> Jul 29, 2009
The third film in the series of big screen adaptations based on the bestselling books by CS Lewis, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," is reported had began principal photography on location in Queensland, Australia, on Monday, July 27th. Filming will conclude in November 2009, with a year-long post-production schedule leading to the film's global release in December 2010. The production is a joint venture between Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Walden Media, after the property was dropped by Disney last year following the release of last year’s “Prince Caspian”.
In the third installment of the series, which began in 2005 with “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb – find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world. Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan's Country – a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader – can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.
Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough, Gorillas in the Mist, Coal Miner's Daughter) is directing the new movie. Returning to Narnia are Georgie Henley as Lucy, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, and Ben Barnes as Caspian. Will Poulter will play the new character Cousin Eustace, while Liam Neeson returns to voice Aslan the Lion. The supporting cast includes Gary Sweet (Stingers), Bruce Spence (Road Warrior), Arthur Angel (Ghost Rider) and Shane Rangi returning as the Minotaur.
