NarniaWeb spy Michael sent in some awesome new pictures of the ship and her crew, revealing that more creatures than just Reepicheep and one Minotaur will be on board. Michael writes:
Cleveland Point 6:15 am, shooting beginning at 7:30am
The sunrise breaks through the clouds lighting up the Dawn Treader swaying side to side and back and forth going through its morning mechanical exercise. There had been rain over night and two major cranes shifted off the sight that had been used for the fly over shoots.
The access staircase is moved into position and film crew begin to climb the stair structure in single file to board the Dawn Treader. The ship towers over a sea of portable camouflage tents.
A group of experts meet on the deck and point towards the direction of the sun, wind and boats and nod. They disband and an announcer sound checks in a mono tone voice says, “Good morning”. He continues to announce key decision and warns when the DT will be moved into a new position.
All the equipment begins to morph back into a controlled state by an army of crew. About 20 Narnian sailors enter the site as the Dawn Treader is moved into position for the first shoot “Shot 64:8”. A giant crane raises a huge blue screen blocking the view. An hour later the screen is lowered and the Dawn Treader is rotated 180 degrees so that the decorative dragon head is pointing out to sea. It is an awesome display as this monster of a ship is moved skilfully through the array of portable tents and cranes.
Shooting has been said to continue until the end of September at this site. It’s worth a look and take a camera.

Looks pretty fantastic 😀
And after September, where will they be heading? what will be the next place to shoot?
Why do they have to include minitours and fawns onboard a ship? And minotours are not the best sailors, having huge hoofs. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!!
i doubt that the minatours arent gunna be sailing the boat. they probably make the food. i dunno
