Dawn Treader Preview

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe began the Narnia franchise with an impressive 3/4 of a billion dollars. Prince Caspian is a respectable, but not blockbuster, near 1/2 a billion. Mixed reviews about the Dawn Treader's future are being lauded.

Some say the third film will fall flat. Others are more hopeful.

OHG hopes that the Dawn Treader will surpass the first film and capture the hearts of the worldwide audience.


Summary: This time around—Edmund and Lucy Pevensie (Keynes and Henley), along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb (Poulter)—find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world. Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian (Barnes) and the warrior mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Izzard), they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan's Country—a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader—can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.

Release date: December 10, 2010.

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.

Fires, Queensland, Narnia- Oh, my!

Staff Writer: Grave Digger

With the devastating fires in Australia this summer (our fall), the fate of Narnia's filming might have been in question. However, Queensland looks like the place where Fox can keep their production timeline in check.

With a quick internet search, OHG discovered a film school, many production companies, and other support mechanisms on the Gold Coast. So the future looks bright for the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
