Official Laura Brent Thread!!

^Well... Ramandu's daughter is a pretty minor character anyway.. she doesn't even have a name. XP
by the way, has it been known if they're going to give her a name in the film? I am so far behind in VDT news. ;o;

She is a minor character, you're right. And she may not have a big role due to the Suspian flap in PC. They gave her a name. It's .... wait for it............................................

I don't read or trust NarniaWeb...frankly I don't trust anything until I find out for myself or see it for myself.

There's a video on YouTube that's a slideshow with pictures of Ben and Laura. I randomly found it, and didn't watch it all the way through, but it had some nice pictures of Laura.

really? that's it? it sounds so Elvish. : P
I don't really like it... it's pretty yeah... but... I dunno. doesn't sound very Narnian-ish to me, but then again she isn't a Narnian, but I kinda mean Narnia in general... XD

Of course it's Elvish. She even glows blue like the swords the elves make, hahahaha!!!!!

I'm not a huge fan of her name either...but it could be worse. And they almost have to give her a name; otherwise non book readers would be thinking, "huh?"
 
I dunno, from everything I've been picking up here and there the past few months, it sounds like they've done at least a bit more with her role than what it was in the book. I mean, she's been featured in both trailers (I wasn't even expecting her to be in the main one, and I especially didn't think they'd actually include one of her lines).

Then there's Edmund's sword glowing, which seems to me to be putting more significance to the star thing, and I read something somewhere about the super-trailer that was shown at various conventions, and that it included a bit about something involving having to follow a "blue star" to the island and then I think something else about Lilliandil showing up in some dream sequence or something (I'm not sure about the last one).

Not saying she'll be a MAJOR character, because, of course, she wasn't in the book for that long, but I think they might have tried to do more with her than just have her show up randomly near the end with out some kind of cinematic setup.

Also, about the name:

I love it now. Wasn't so sure at first, but now I love it. Why?

1) Douglas Gresham named her, so...yeah. I'm not arguing with anything that man does because he has my utmost respect and devotion. :p :D

2) It IS very Elvish. Which I find not to be problematic b/c Lewis and Tolkien were good friends AND DID share a lot of their ideas. In fact, that may have been partly how DG came up with it.

3) I think it evokes the mysterious, ethereal atmosphere of a star. Especially if you say it out loud, it sounds very...star-like. :)



So, yeah, that's my shpiel for today.
 
I will disagree with you regarding Dough Gresham, but I do hope you're speil is right on the other points. ;)

Sorry I'm getting to this so very late. As you know by now, I was busy getting married. :)

As for Laura, I know that she's an unknown actress and that she was cast because she looks the part. In fact, she looks absolutely perfect for the role. Especially in costume. As for the actress herself, though, there's not much out there about her.
 
So I found some Laura vids on youtube!!

Apparently she had a role in one episode of Legend of the Seeker (she's Dahlia, the first random woman in leather that you see at the beginning of the scene):

(btw, I don't approve of the vast amount of make-up they put on her face--it looks so unnatural o_O And her hair is weird-looking. Plus, her character seems kinda evil lol)

And she was also on the Aussie show Chandon Pictures:

(WARNING: if you are not used to Australian media--from what little knowledge I have, I know THEY DO NOT CENSOR STUFF down there... So there is some strong language in some of those clips...)
 
Thanks for posting those videos! I can't believe the movie producer are going to waste her beaut... I mean, talent!!! LOL! She can be a great draw to the theaters!! Sadly, I'm afraid they'll give her a small, uninspired role.

Well, we'll see. There was a scene I read from the super trailer involving her that was kind of amusing :p

Poor Caspian LOL

Albeit, one that is larger than it is in the book...
 
In the newer trailer she does appear to do a bit more than just turning into a blue ball and swish away!!
 
Yes that one. I think they could have done even more with her character rather than the "swords of the seven lords" thing. :rolleyes:
