The third big screen adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s fantasy saga will get its world premiere in the presence of members of the Royal Family and the movie’s cast and crew in late November.
Dawn Treader is the second movie in the Narnia franchise to be screened for royalty following The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2005. It will also mark the first time a Royal Performance has been shown in 3D.
The annual premieres are the principal fundraising events for The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, the trade charity for UK film and TV industries. Previous selections include The Lovely Bones, A Bunch of Amateurs and Casino Royale.
CTBF chief executive Brian Robertson said of 2010’s Narnia premiere: “We are thrilled to be able to host the Royal and World Premiere of this highly anticipated film which looks set to enchant audiences across the World.
“This will be a landmark event attended by members of the Royal Family, an acclaimed British cast and this will be the first ever Royal Film Performance in digital 3D. We are grateful to 20th Century Fox and to the Royal Family for their continued support of this important fundraising event.”
A press release is probably going to follow with more details of the event. In 2005, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe premiere was held at the Royal Albert Hall on December 7th. It looks as though this will be a very similar premiere. You could also get tickets for the royal premiere. I’m not sure if that will be the case for Dawn Treader, but it is possible. Stay tuned and we’ll let you know!
