Actor Will Poulter has joined the cast of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” in the role of Eustace Clarence Scrubb. It is amazing just how much he looks like the Eustace that I think we all imagined him to be.

I guess we’re better off just waiting for the official word from Walt Disney Home Entertainment.

Caspian is more or less an acoustic score, as was LWW.

This Sunday the already must-visit destination is the site of a pretty incredible afternoon celebrating the New Zealand release of “Prince Caspian.”
