Here it is, the world premiere of the trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It releases on December 10, 2010 and was directed by Michael Apted, who takes the reigns from previous Narnia film director Andrew Adamson. It stars Ben Barnes as Caspian, Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie, Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie and Will Poulter as Eustace Clarence Scrubb. This is an excellent trailer that makes me very excited for the movie, and not just because I proposed on the set!

Transcript
Opens with a shot of a building that looks something like an old parliament building, and pans over to a sign that reads “Mother England Needs You | ENLIST HERE NOW!”
Soldier: Are you sure you’re 18?
Edmund: Why, do I look older?
Lucy appears at a doorway carrying a box.
Lucy: Edmund, you’re supposed to be helping me with the groceries.
A random person that was behind Edmund in line laughs at him, saying: Better luck next time, eh squirt!
Lucy and Edmund are putting boxes onto their bicycles outside of the building.
Edmund: Squirt? I’m a King!
Lucy: Not in this world.

Cuts to: A painting on a wall of an ocean, and in the distance is a ship.
Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before?
Close up of the ship sailing on the ocean in the painting.
Lucy: It’s very Narnian looking, isn’t it?
Cuts to: the wind blowing, and Lucy, Edmund and Eustace standing around the room.
Eustace: What’s going on here?
Lucy: Edmund, the painting!
Just then the painting starts pouring water out. Eustace runs toward it, taking it from the wall.
Edmund: Don’t Eustace! No!
Cuts to: a shot of the room filling up with water, the children swimming around in the room, with a flash cut to the children swimming up toward the surface. Flash cut to show Lucy’s head above water with the Dawn Treader quickly approaching.
Lucy: Edmund!
Cut’s to a shot of Lucy being brought on board the ship by someone who could be Caspian, on a huge swing like contraption (someone who knows what parts of a ship like that are called, please let me know).
We see Lucy looking in what looks like a mirror or something with Aslan looking out, speaking.
Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: Welcome. You have come far, but your journey lies beyond.
While Aslan speaks we see quick, and beautiful shots of the Dawn Treader amongst Narnian scenery and a Minotaur aboard the ship.
Cuts to a shot of Lucy and Edmund in blankets. Drinian is standing in the background.
Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep bows his head.
Reepicheep: Your Majesties!
We then see a shot of a liquid looking mermaid coursing through the water. Lucy waves to the mermaid from on deck.
Edmund: So if there are no wars to fight, then why are we here?
Shot of Caspian opening a doorway with Edmund following. Shot of Edmund using a telescope. Shot of an Island surrounded by thick clouds.
Cuts to: Shot of Coriakin throwing a huge scroll out that unravels onto the floor. (Reminds me of a shot of the Mad Hatter doing the same thing in Alice in Wonderland, but not the same really.)
Coriakin: You are all about to be tested.
Cuts to: Shot of Eustace looking at something off camera.
Then to: A shot of the Dawn Treader with lanterns lit and smoke floating around, kind of like the Smoke Monster on Lost but white smoke instead of black. Close up of Edmund. Then close up of The White Witch, looking like she does on the huge Dawn Treader standee.
The White Witch: Edmund…. I can make you my king… an much more.
Cuts to: Lucy blowing the dust off of a huge book. The book in the Magician’s library. The letters rearrange themselves on the cover. They’re going to spell out the title of the book, which was revealed elsewhere but I’m not going to say, as it wasn’t finished in the trailer.
We then see a shot of Lucy, reflected in a mirror on the page of the book, and her face magically turns into Susan’s.
Lucy: I’m beautiful!
Aslan’s roar sounds from the book and the pages begin to turn quickly. Flash cuts to a shot of Lucy standing with the book by a pedestal, snow falling all around her as she looks up, amazed at what she’s seeing.
Cuts to Reepicheep climbing the mast of the Dawn Treader.
Coriakin: You’ve got an extraordinary destiny. Something greater than you could have imagined.
Reepicheep now stands at the top of the crow’s nest.

A shot of the Dawn Treader from above.
Liliandil: The fate of Narnia depends on you.
Narrator / Title Card: This Christmas
Shot of Edmund holding a glowing sword, kind of like Sting from The Lord of the Rings.
Shot of Liliandil turning into a glowing orb and flying straight up into the sky. Edmund, Caspian and Lucy standing around.
Title Card: Return to Hope
Shot of a faun, flipping over someone while holding some form of spear, and landing a kick to someone’s chest. Then a shot of Lucy holding a Bow and Arrow.
Title Card: Return to Magic
Shot of a table with golden things on it and suddenly Coriakin materializes and turns around, book in hands.
Eustace: This place just gets weirder and weirder.
Shot of Dufflepuds jumping around as Eustace dodges.
Title Card: Return to Narnia
Shot of the Dawn Treader with a small boat being paddled away, across a sea of lilies.
Aslan: You have returned for a reason.
Close up shot of the small boat, Reepicheep is riding on the bow. Caspian and Edmund are paddling with Eustace and Lucy riding.
Cuts to a shot of Aslan walking over to them, as they now stand on the ground with a wave hanging in the background.
Aslan: Your adventure begins now.
Shot of Susan walking toward the camera, then Peter doing the same, followed by Lucy and Edmund doing the same.
Cuts to a shot of Aslan roaring.

I really like both trailers. But I can tell that everyone worked really hard. Love the graphics as well. It will be the best movie ever. I can’t wait til it comes to the movie theatres. I remember the second movie when I watched over 50 times in theatres. All the characters are excellent and did a great job filming it. Its going to be great movie.
Narnia movies get better avery time!!! I CANNOT wait for this one!!!!
The are definitely awesome. I just wish they would make a bit more like the books. For one, in the book, the White Witch wasn’t in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader I don’t think. She was in another one, though… I can’t remember which one. Anyways, I might be wrong, but there are other things that are different too. Like in movies, they made Peter out to be a very arrogant person. He wasn’t any where near as arrogant in the books. But other than that, it was/is going to be awesome. (Most movies that are different from the books they’re based on doesn’t usually bother me.)
Is it possible for us mere mortals to get tickets to the movie premiere in December, in London? (without having to enter competitions) I like the competitions but, you’re never sure to get the tickets… and the last time (the PC premiere) they were only for the U.S. people 🙁
World premieres are invitation only. There’s really no way to get in, otherwise. It’s a safety thing.
NO way ive been waiting forever for the trailer!!! Ive tried looking for it before but they were all fan made ones. cant wait for it!!!
Sequels and movies after that are usually not as good as the first movie. I completely agree with Heather! They keep getting better and better! I’m a HUGE Narnia fan and Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my favorite book of the series! I hope the movie stays pretty true to the book! <3 🙂
“Mother England Needs You”!? Oh dear. I hope someone checked the authenticity of this with the Imperial War Museum – it rings very false to me. Possibly posters of this nature may have appeared in Australia or other parts of the Commonwealth, but I doubt if they were used in England for two reasons: the UK is not its own mother country, and it is not referred internally to in maternal terms (we had John Bull, not Marianne or Lady Liberty); and “Britain”, not “England”, was the term generally favoured by the British government of the time.
They only use reproductions of actual wartime signs for these. In fact, if you search the term “Mother England” you’ll find it is used all over. A “Mother” Country, I believe just refers to your homeland.
Googling for the phrase “Mother England Needs You” only finds results relating to its appearance in this film.
I agree with Simhedges on this one.
This post is over four years old…
i really love narnia! especially the pevensie children! they are so brilliant and amazing! i wish that they would be able to make the 2 remaining series!
I can’t wait to see this movie! but yeah haha i can surely wait!….i really love this movie it sticks to my heart everytime! BRILLIANT! I LOVE BRITISH ACCENT!
My daughter (6) wishes they would make the Magicians Nephew and is dreadfully upset that they didn’t start there!!! still we are all very excited for the dawn treader…we ready CS Lewis at bedtime…
The main reasons they didn’t start there are: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the most popular Narnia book. The Magician’s Nephew is actually book #6 in the original publication order. The ages of the children and the continuity of them makes the original publication order the best order to film them as well.
The poster depicting “Mother England Needs You | ENLIST HERE NOW!” never existed in war time Britain. I do not know where they got this poster that basically insults the other British peoples.
Okay…
