King Caspian Held Hostage

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

A while ago, OHG received an offer for some images of Ben Barnes as King Caspian. On further review, the pictures were found to be copyrighted through a source that wanted payment to show these pics. OHG has refused to post or pay for these images for a few reasons.

First, the images are copyrighted and the source of the pictures wasn't the copyright holder. Second, payment for public pictures? Not happening. EVER. Third, threats heard from the licensing source were abundant.

The reality is: if you threaten, we don't buy. Actually, we will never buy anything from a source that threatens others with legal action in a bid to make money. It's just not us. We are not your consumers. We just talk to your consumers.

We're not going to name names. A quick search online can give you that information. It's just a shame someone tried to extort and blackmail Narnia fans. You know, the young and young at heart.

(Don't you love our surrogate picture until promos come out?)

Our feeling is that the pictures were taken in full view of the public, why pay for that? If the images were in a studio lot, behind the scenes stuff, and of excellent quality, we understand a fair payment for work done. We do NOT feel the pictures, shown in low quality anyway, are/were worth the lawyers and fees.

Many sites (including fan sites) agree. The pictures haven't taken off. Only one site has published a single photo. That says more then a mere picture could.

Any photog, professional or amateur, take a moment and think about your audience/goals- We will publish pics of good quality. Just email us. But remember: we are poor. This site is free and free of ads (except for our favorite charities).

We are not only here for fans; we are fans. So we ask the powers that be to release their hold on those photos. Why hold King Caspian hostage?

Now what we REALLY want to say:

Thank you to the fans, photographers, public relations contacts, and industry insiders who give us information, articles, reviews, sneak peaks, screening tickets, videos, and images. WE appreciate your diligence, understanding, and freebies. We can't say enough about your professionalism.

We can't wait to publish more. Please, send us more. We are happy to help you out with your marketing campaigns.

Again, thank you for letting us be a fan resource.

Dawn Treader Release Date

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

Thank Aslan, Fox does not have its reels up its projector. After Disney dumped the franchise for monetary reason known only to the studio, Fox kept the director and actors on board, the Dawn Treader. With a rework of the script and locations finalized, a release date was issued: December 10, 2010.

A Christmas release that should have gone to Prince Caspian, instead of the eight month delay of the DVD release.

Hopefully this movie will be better put together then Disney's mess-up of the franchise.

Caspian Title Confusion

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

I have scoured sites getting information about the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The same title kept popping up on nearly every page or article: Prince Caspian.

At the end of the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the character wins his crown against Miraz with the help of the Pevensie quartet. Therefore in the VotDT, the correct title for Caspian is: King Caspian. Site after site, including Ben Barnes fansites (except for a few who determined his role as "Caspian"), the character name is repeated as Prince Caspian.

To set the record straight, King Caspian is in the Dawn Treader. In the words of Aslan (in the movie: Prince Caspian) when he speaks to the Pevensies and Caspian by the river: "Rise Kings and Queens of Narnia." Caspian had proved himself to the ominous lion.

Hope all of Ben Barnes's fans are now appeased, his title has been restored once again.
