I didn't think I'd be one of those people who complained about missing movie premieres while on a mission, but I am very tempted to start bemoaning my fate on this one...

Ah, that's good to know. R&H do really good work too. I'm really excited to see how they pull off Aslan.

I missed Fellowship of the Ring, AND the first Harry Potter.
It was fun to see the Brazilian movie posters though. I have pictures of me near the movie posters. Yeah, I'm a dork.

At the 15th Annual Global Entertainment, Media, and Telecommunications Conference Disney played a new "making of" clip of the film, then announced that a real trailer would be available "soon".
How soon?
Dare I hope that Walden's "Because of Winn Dixie" adaptation will have a teaser?
And by the way...if ANYONE finds a clip of the thing they played at the conference online, please link it?
So far all I've found is an audio clip.

I think Susan, Peter and Edmund look perfect, but does Lucy look young to anyone else? I don't remember how old she's supposed to be in the books, so she might be just right.

While I'm sure I've seen a timeline that gives the ages of the Pevensie kids when they first entered Narnia, all I can find in my copy of LWW is that Lucy was the "youngest".
The Pauline Baynes illustrations in the book show Lucy looking about the same age Georgie Henley ("Lucy" in the film) looks to be in the photo.
As long as she can act better than the girl in the BBC adaptation did, I don't care what her age is. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

I think she's perfect. I recall that when she first laid eyes on Prof. Kirke, she started crying. You have to be rather young for someone's appearance to affect you that way.
Also, they have to leave room for her to grow up in the sequels.

I just realised that the actor who plays Peter has almost the same last name as me. And when I was little, I always had a crush on the character Peter. Coincidence? I hope so...

What else has R&H done in the movies? The big name digital FX places are still WETA and ILM as far as I'm concerned.
The composer has done a lot of good stuff too. It seems all the elements are in place for a good movie. The only thing left to worry about is interpretation.

R&H also did Daredevil, Elektra (which had some pretty stunning visuals), Flight of the Phoenix, and for all you Firefly fans (me included!) they are doing the digital work for Serenity.
Does anyone know when the trailer for Serenity is coming out? It was supposed to come out before Elektra, but that was before they pushed back the release date for Serenity.
So I'd say that's a promising resume, and we can be pretty hopeful about its quality.

I'm such a geeky Narnia fan that I actually downloaded this HUGE "Disney Movie Surfers" clip just to watch the very, VERY brief clips relating to LWW.
Shots of Lucy and Edmund near the lamp post, Jadis' Secret Wolf Police, the minotaur soldier from a different angle, and some kid being transformed into a dwarf through makeup.

Until we get a real teaser and the movie portions of Walden's Narnia.com go active, I'll take any scraps I can find. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

According to the timeline given in "A Companion to Narnia", Lucy was 8 years old at the beginning of LWW.

The timeline given in CtN gives those respective ages.
Since Lewis never planned to write more than one book in the series (and up until Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader' he'd thought each book was the last one), he'd never made definitive timeline on Narnia. Thus, this should be taken with a grain of salt.

The IMDB lists Georgie Henley's age as "9". Whether that was her age during the principal shooting (which wrapped up on December 19th) or now...I have no idea.
And I don't know that the timeline given in "Companion" is the one Walden is taking cues from.
