Earlier this week, we heard rumor that weather conditions would delay filming at Cleveland Point. Those rumors panned out, as the weather is not going to be the correct conditions to fit the sequences they need for the shots on the Dawn Treader. The Bayside Bulletin reports.
Plans for filming the next Narnia instalment at Cleveland Point have changed significantly this week, with up to a week’s delay and the removal of the grandstand from the park.
Filming of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is currently under way at the purpose-built water tank at Movie World on the Gold Coast, and progress there will now dictate whether the filming is able to be started by Thursday, September 3, or is delayed until the following week.
The grandstand erected for residents to watch the filming has also been taken down. A spokesperson on site said safety concerns had been raised when older residents who were climbing to the top of the grandstand became “unsteady”.
“The view from the grandstand was pretty well blocked by the tree anyway, so we’d suggest people bring along a picnic blanket instead!” the sopkesman said.
With filming still up to a week away, management on site are also looking at running a shuttle bus for spectators between the open grass near the Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) site at the corner of Shore Street and William Street, Cleveland, in order to reduce the stress on parking arrangements at the point.
Being delayed is better than stopping production/filming altogether…after all…it won’t be ready till a tear from December anyway. Keeping voyaging Dawn Treader.. Long Live Aslan !!!
I’m just glad they’re making the movie! Hope they aren’t delayed to long, though. Oh, and local residents can watch filming? I hope they aren’t letting on to much about the film to the public to early on.
So, will this effect the release date?
Can we please be updated for the exact dates when they will start filming at Cleveland I will definitly be there with bells on……
I was just wondering if anyone knows the exact time of when they are going to begin filming? I also would love to go watch. Went the other day but was told it was delayed. If no one knows yet then if it’s not too much trouble, could someone post it up when they do know.
Thanks,
They have officially started filming as of today (3-9-09)
Hope this helps!!
Oh and by the way, filming will most likely not commence tomorrow at Cleveland Point due to weather conditions so instead we will be filming at our secret indoor location.
