Just another brief The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
alert thanks to 'jon.' It seems that quite a few people were able to attend
the Narnia event at Fantastic Fest and all that witnessed the ten-minute
preview for the Disney film now call themselves Narnians. What did we miss?
Chronicles of Narnia Clips
The good people over at AICN
were able to catch Fantastic Fest and have left raving about the ten-minute
preview featured for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe. Considering that we are now due a full movie trailer
for the film, expect pieces of this preview to pop up online shortly.
Then it came time for the 10 minute NARNIA reel.
OH WOW!
First off, I had the worst seat in the place for this. Literally IN FRONT of the FRONT ROW at a terrible angle – but even from that vantage point – I was officially won over to this project all the way.
Liam Neeson’s voice coming out of Aslan is just perfection. But even more cool is the damn Beaver! The Beaver is awesome. Till I saw the Beaver do his “Chatterbox” bit, I hadn’t seen any footage even close to this cool… that’s not entirely true… the opening of this began with the bombing of London and that stuff was jaw-dropping. In fact all of the most finished work was exemplary.
The best news? The kids work… or at least seem to. That was my biggest worry. They look like they belong in this story, and that’s the highest compliment you could give them. The cinematography looks quite lovely. My only worry is with the end battle – and it isn’t that I think it won’t be action packed, it’s just – that stuff was so rough and unfinished that I think I could feel the productions own nervousness over getting all the shots in. I couldn’t help but think while looking at it, 2 months left. That’s gotta be brutal. But ya know what? The battle looks like it will be dynamic as hell, and the Gryphon RULES!
The Chronicles of Narnia.
