Hopes for VDT....for people anticipating the release on DECEMBER 10 2010

I would have thought so too.

I'll admit Clash would have been appropriate, not just for the mythic fanatsy part but the Liam Neeson connection. I have seen that done where if an actor is starring in a current film, they'd plug a trailer for an upcoming film starring that actor.

In my opinion, Liam Neeson was a bit player in PC. Such a waste of talent!

agreed.....its not so much the movie that makes an actor...its what he can do with what he has for the movie that makes him great......:)

Yes, but because Adamson didn't want to give Aslan the screen time he deserved, he wasted the talent of Liam. He could have done much more.

well that is true....i was disappointed to not see as much of Aslan as there should of been in PC....but new director and producer and that for VDT so we will see what differences they make. should be good
 
I guess I was a little disappointed in some of Aslan's lines in the past two movies. They were translated and altered slightly, which had an undermining effect on what he was saying. For example, his description of the "deep magic" in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" strayed from its original description in the book. Also, having Aslan reiterate such invented themes as "Things never happen the same way twice (dear one)" seemed a little juvenille.

At any rate, Liam Neeson has tremendous talent (and the perfect voice) for the part of Aslan. I think by sticking to exact quotes and including all his scenes his role can be more meaningful in the films. So, hopefully in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treador," the producers will include the scene where Aslan appears to Caspian aboard the Dawn Treador, and the scene where Aslan appears to Lucy and Coriakin (core-ee-AH-kin I believe it's pronounced), as well as the lamb-to-lion scene with a significant quote at the end (about which I've already read of their intentions to remain true to the novel).

I don't see how they could get away with not having a teaser trailer (hopefully 1-2 min) by May. I'm excited!
 
I LOVED how Aslan was portrayed in LWW (although I do wish they hadn't played with the Deep Magic part, but then again, it's a movie and they don't like to spend a lot of time on explanation)...there were so many great lines, like "I too want my family safe," "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written," "You have to trust me, for this must be done," and of course, the "It is finished" line after Aslan kills the Witch, which a bunch of people recognized as being connected to Christ's last words, (and the connection was completely unintentional on the part of the movie makers). :D

I WAS, like most people, however, disappointed with Aslan a bit in PC. There should've been WAY more of him. I did love how they still pursued his being ever-present with that huge stone relief of him in the How, and how Peter looks at it in shame when he almost gives in to the Witch (I also love the whole symbolism behind how the Witch was in between Peter, Caspian, and the Aslan carving in that scene--it was like she was standing IN THE WAY, blocking them/cutting them off from the truth, like the hindrance of sin or something). But still, they shouldn't have played with his lines or shortened his actual appearance in the movie.

I'm glad to hear all the rumors that Aslan will be more true to the book in VDT. I sincerely hope they've reverted back to the strong, epic, divine feel that they gave him in the first movie.
 
Yah, after we heard that footage had been shown to various Christian conferences and everyone loved it, I am very excited for the trailer. Do you think they will do it in 3D and release it with some 3D film? When I went to see ... Alice I guess it was, they showed some other 3D trailers.

Oh, it's already been confirmed that it will be shown in both 2D and 3D. I'm guessing the 3D trailer will probably come out before some 3D movie during the summer...
 
Oh yes, hopefully before Toy Story 3! Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of sequels (Pirates 1 and Shrek 1 were great, the others, not so much), so I don't think I'll go see Shrek 4. However, if the trailer for "Dawn Treador" is playing, say, only in front of any one particular movie, then I'll most likely pay for that movie just to see the trailer, regardless of whether or not I stay to watch the actual movie! (I'll do this even if the trailer is available online, because seeing it on the big screen a) is much more captivating, b) allows you to see much more detail, and c) lets you relish in the satisfied expressions of fellow audience members). Oh boy, I can't wait. Only about a month!!!!!!!!
 
Here's something I haven't thought of much until now:

In "Prince Caspian," most of the interaction between Caspian and the Pevensies is really just between Caspian and Peter and Susan. There really weren't any moments that involved solely Caspian with Edmund and Lucy. So, I am really looking forward to seeing the basic chemistry on-screen between Ben Barnes and Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley. :)

thats a good point...it will be interesting to see what happens...
 
Well, it's like that in the books too. In "The Voyage of the Dawn Treador," everyone is really close at first except of course Eustace. Then later on Deathwater Island, when King Caspian swears everyone to secrecy of their discovery, Edmund assersts "I'm no subject of yours." So it will be interesting to see how all things, both good and ugly, play out.

That's a great point! I hadn't thought of that before either, but you're right. I can't wait to see more Caspian-Lucy-Edmund interaction. And more interaction with Reep too :D

And on a different note, I went to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D yesterday, and after seeing all those PHENOMENAL scenes with Toothless the dragon flying and swooping through the air and feeling like I was almost flying--I seriously hope there's some awesome footage of Eustace doing some of that in VDT before he becomes human again, b/c that would just be plain AMAZING. :D
 
has anyone else taken note that they have changed the voice actor for reep, it was Eddie Izzard in PC....now they have Bill Nighy doing it.....not that i dont like Bill Nighy quite the oppisit but shouldn't they keep the same actor if possible...i know Eddie Izzard probably didn't want to do another one after the Fail of PC but any ways...im not realy trying to have a winge...just an observation i made
