Press junkets are fun. I sat in the front row at the Prince Caspian press junket in 2008, and it was a blast interacting with all of the stars, the producer, the writers and the director as they entered and left the room that my group was in.
I’ve known for some time that the junket for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was going to be in London, but who is scheduled to be in attendance is the shocking part to me.
According to an examiner article: “Dawn Treader” stars Liam Neeson, Georgie Henley, Will Poulter and Skandar Keynes and director Michael Apted are scheduled to participate in “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” press junket in London. Douglas Gresham (a stepson of C.S. Lewis and a co-producer of all the “Narnia” films) may or may not be doing interviews at the press junket; his participation has not been confirmed yet.
Missing from that list are a number of people. Ben Barnes and Mark Johnson, who both participated in the Prince Caspian junkets, as well as the credited writers on the film. I’m sure that the final list hasn’t been released, officially, and things can change at any time. When the Caspian junkets were happening, Skandar Keynes skipped because of school work.
It is also the first I’ve heard of Liam Neeson taking part in the press for these films. I would have loved to had the chance to meet him.
That said, I hope that the interviews go well, and I can’t wait to hear stories from them, as I’m not sure that I’ll be able to attend this time around. Perhaps, if they have a U.S. based junket, they’ll get me there, but I’m not counting on it.
yaaaaaay finaly skandar involved in something lol
When is the Press Junket? Looking forward to your articles.
PLEASE FOX, schedule one of these events in Ohio! I am a ardent narnia fan who can’t go to this stuff because it is to far away!
DO ONE IN KANSAS!!! yeah right! I’m probably the only Narnia fan in Kansas!
I should have added that press junkets are press only… they’re never really open to the general public.
i find it disturbing there is no junket scheduled for the US yet- what the-? seem s like this movie is promoted more in europe- have they given up on us?
i wish they would do something in new york. it’s always in california. but i wish i could go see all of them!!!
i think i’m going to move to london and get some press-related job. hehe!!!!!
Paul – Thanks for explaining how press junkets work and who attended (and didn’t) in 2008. This is all new to me! lol
This is neat! Wish I could go!
That is interesting at the very least. I can imagine the schedules some of these folks hold to is rather busy and congested.
Hi All!
The reason why Ben possibly won’t be ther is because he is doing a play called Birdsong right now and it may interfere with his schedule of performance.
Can’t wait to see the film!
<3 Stef
But where and what time is this junket meant to be taking place?? details?
It’s private for press only… otherwise I could provide details.
well there are always junkets for films and i know people who try and get the cast going in and out of the venue but i guess ive got no hope then
