Trailer for "The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader"

Well it's finally here; I guess they had to release something to keep on track with The Deathly Hallows Part I. For whatever reason, as uneven as the Narnia film series has been thus far, they keep dragging me in. Maybe it's the promise of fantasy (especially after that movie that deserved a second chance and a better director for its sequel tanked), maybe it's the all-too-brief promise of Tilda Swinton reprising her villainous role (or is it a different one? I never read the books). And maybe, just maybe, it's the hope I have that, where Prince Caspian improved the battle scenes of Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, perhaps this third (and potentially final) adaptation can improve the general story-telling. I'd be worried though, if I were a FOX studio executive. Prince Caspian underperformed (maybe summer isn't where Narnia belongs?), and the film is being released mere weeks after the final Potter film bulldozes its way into theaters.

Walden Media regains its senses, sets 3rd Narnia for December 2010

Yup, after the financial underwhelmer that was "Prince Caspian", Fox and Walden Media were smart enough to realize that, snowy landscapes or not, the Narnia films are better off released in winter, where there isn't another potential blockbuster opening every other week. Let's hope that Voyage of the Dawn Treader is better than either of the prequels (even if it won't have Tilda Swinton).

New trailer for "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"

looks good, but I'm surprised that it managed to achieve a PG rating.....this could be a bad sign.....

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian trailer IN ENGLISH

looks better than the first one.

Teaser poster for the second Narnia movie: Prince Caspian

The film is due May 2008. Let's hope that this turns out better than the first one (though the Witch and the little girl were great). Kudos to the marketing team though; this is exactly what a teaser poster should be. Though apparently Aslan doesn't have a big role in the rest of the books/movies they were smart to include him so people make the connection that this is a follow up.
