• Release date pushed back! The release of the film has been moved from May 1, 2009 to May 7, 2010. This could be the result of the impending strike. (Box Office Mojo, Sept. 18, 2007)
• Michael Apted is directing! "The director of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER is... MICHAEL APTED!!!" (Harry Knowles, AICN, April. 17, 2007)
• Will Andrew Adamson Direct? "I don't think so. One of the challenges we have is we actually want to put three of these films out very close together, and in actual fact, I'll probably be finishing this one when we start the next one so it's unlikely that I'll be able to do both." (Director Andrew Adamson in an interview with NZ Herald, Feb. 4, 2007)
• Where will they shoot? Douglas Gresham: "...I'd like to film in Malta. The story takes places in a ship at sea, so it would be very suitable to film here." (Producer Douglas Gresham in an interview with a Malta newspaper, Feb. 3, 2007)
