I was just wondering what Anna Popplewell, who played Susan Pevensie in Walden Media’s Chronicles of Narnia films, has been up to since graduating from university. What I found was rather surprising. She’s already filmed a few other roles since Narnia, but I didn’t expect this one. Earlier today I learned that there was going to be a live-action web series that will serve as a prequel to the video game Halo 4, which is releasing this fall. I didn’t think much of it, because I’m not the biggestHalo fan in the world. I’ve only played a couple of the games, and am just not very good at that style of video game.
But then I found out that Anna Popplewell is playing a role in the series. Anna plays a cadet by the name of Chyler Silva. She shot the series over 5 weeks this past spring in Vancouver, Canada.
The series is set against the backdrop of a United Nations Space Command (UNSC) military academy where a group of highborn cadets are training to be the next generation of soldiers in the UNSC’s ongoing war with insurrectionists in the outer colonial planets.
Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, is a web series, which will be released online in 5 parts, each being around 15 minutes in length, the first premiereing October 5, 2012 up until the release of the video game in November 2012. We’ve managed to acquire a number of photos of Anna from the series, in various costumes. We also have the full trailer as well as a behind the scenes video here, for those that are interested.
Hm. Well that certainly is different…. I’m not very familiar with Halo either, though. Is it just me, or do these photos remind you of the Hunger Games a bit? I never saw that movie either, but did see some set pictures…. Hope she stays true throughout her career and doesn’t veer like others have. I’ll always remember her as Susan 🙂 lol
well IMDb says she played roles in two 2012 films already: “Passengers” and “Payback Season”. She also had a small role in a disgusting TV series, “Comedy Lab” (I watched it on Youtube) and in a tv adaptation of “Brave New World”…
Though it doesn’t mention what you said, I’d like to see what it is about =)

Do you have YouTube links to “Passengers” and “Payback Season”?
Keep us posted NarniaFans…please! 🙂
mm… I don’t have any links for Passengers because it hasn’t been released yet.
I do have a youtube link for Payback Season:

Enjoy!
WOW I am surprised she is in this, and I actually didn’t know much about this series anyway. Looks good though.. & I am very familiar with Halo xDD My brother plays it and on off I play it as well.
It looks like Susan has upgraded from bows and arrows to a high-tech gun!
I SO CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS!!! 😀 😀
“What happened to ‘battles are ugly affairs’?” Hehe. XD But wow, this looks totally amazing!! I used to play the Halo games with my siblings, so to see Master Chief come to life will be AWESOME!! And Anna being in it makes it even better. 😉
I can get you an Assault Rilfe after we finish filming and I’ll make sure it’s the one Anna used.
Awesome! Feel free to e-mail us any time!
I don’t want to impose, but if it is within your power to obtain an item that Anna used whilst filming Forward Unto Dawn or even just an autographed piece of paper I would be eternally grateful; Master Chief you would be indeed.
She will always be Susan Pevensie to me no matter what she plays in. 😉
Halo is one of the biggest games ever. Looks like 4 is going to be one of the best! I can’t wait for it! Go Anna!
Im NOT surprised cos I have been working with her in Forward Unto Dawn and I filmed along side her in this and helped her with he weight of her Assault Rifle MKVI. She did complain a bit when she had found out she had to use a Rifle rather than the Covenants Energy bow and plasma Arrows. It was very funny and I play Halo A LOT.
i heard her starred in a movie called ‘passenger’ when is it coming out?
She should have been the lead actor in The Hunger Games!
So she has taken off her Narnian crown and put on something that looks like a Stormtrooper outfit 🙂
Wow. Susan in the Halo universe…never would have put those two together even though I’m a fan of both! It looks really cool…I want to see it even more now that Susan is in it. Makes me want to see another Narnia movie SOOOOO bad. She was such an AMAZING Susan.
