A blogger called “Twitchie” went to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last week, and while there attended a Disney presentation. Here’s a quick look at the Narnia related parts:
I went to NRB last week. (National Religious Broadcasters Convention) It was in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland, one of the biggest hotels in the world. In fact, UNDER THE ROOF the INTERIOR of the hotel is 56 acres. Yeah. You read that right. 56 acres.
The new head of Disney Studios, [Bob Iger], who has taken over for Michael Eisner has really signaled a change in the direction of Disney. It’s under him that Chronicles has been acquired and he promised a great amount of care and consideration with such a beloved story. He said, multiple times, that he feels that Chronicles is THE most important series in Disney’s history and he will be treating it as such.
Then we got a sneak preview for the new trailer of Prince Caspian. It was awesome. I think it literally released the next morning – he said we were the first to see it. Then he showed us a sneak preview of the new trailer of Wall*E* which was awesome. It finally showed some of the story and answered some questions and I’ve got to say, I’m already a Wall*E* fan! And then…the COOLEST THING EVER….
WE SAW A TRAILER FOR VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER – THE NEXT NARNIA MOVIE!!!!! Yes! It was awesome! Before they begin filming, they put together the entire movie in a CGI format. They call it pre-visualization because they want the director to know what to film and how. So they built that into a trailer partnered with designers and actors and everyone involved in the process and their thoughts. So we saw a special feature/trailer for Voyage of the Dawn Treader – and it’s going to be amazing! It’s going to be Pirates of the Caribbean times a million!
