Just when we thought it was safe for the rumors to stop, now that filming is over, more details seem to be slipping through the cracks as the strangest websites are posting information about roles in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader that have not yet been made official.
We can take this with a grain of salt, as there is no confirmation from the studio on Peter Pevensie appearing in the film, let alone Susan Pevensie. However, it’s very strange that it would be listed somewhere that is somewhat official, as far as the film industry is concerned.
Will Peter appear, and will Susan also?
Here’s what icarus says:
eCaster, via the EGO management website:
2009 / Stand in (Peter) / The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader / Michael Apted
What do you think? If Peter appears, which is something that I have mentioned in a few articles as something I have no problem with, when would you think it appropriate? At the beginning of the film, to show where his character is going? What do you think of the possibility of seeing Will and Anna one more time in a Narnia film?
And don’t worry about the word “Stand-in.” A stand-in is very much like a stunt double. When the filmmakers are setting up a shot, they’ll have the stand-ins on the set, so they can frame the shot and figure out where the best places are for the actors to stand. They tend to wear replicas of the costumes as well. Sometimes, they’re on camera when you aren’t going to be seeing their face, and the shot it something used quickly or otherwise. It’s something very simple but very vital to the film process.
