Creature from The Chronicles of Narnia
Happy Sunday everybody! We have a few big updates
this weekend plus a bunch of small details we have picked up over the last
couple of days. Since these details are so small, I decided to compile them
all into one article and then move on to the bigger updates later today.
What we have below is an interesting round-up of The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,
Star Wars Revenge of the
Sith and Domino.
Narnia Updates
If you thought the full trailer recently released
for The Chronicles of Narnia last week was cool, then you have
got to check out the x-large version now posted over at MovieFone. I know,
I know... they may have double-dipped on this one. However, small or big
trailer, this film still looks pretty rad. I love the line 'Numbers do not
decide a battle' with Peter responding, 'No, but I bet they help.'
Check out the larger version by heading over to MovieFone.
Besides a trailer, the recent issue of Entertainment
Weekly has suggested that The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion,
The Witch and The Wardrobe will have a tremendous Christian following.
They even go on to compare the following to that of Passion of the Christ.
Did this 'following' just happen or did Disney have a part in this? Well,
Disney does admit that they do use the same marketing officer that The
Passion did, meaning that this person knows which groups to target.
What this means is a probable two million ticket buyers from the Christian
turnout. Will targeting a political/religious group backfire and polarize
audiences for Narnia? Doubtful, considering Disney and Adamson [director]
consider this group a very small percentage of their targeted market.
I thought religious groups hated fantasy films? I guess having the children
be the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve helps though.
Domino Death Confirmed
Yes, we know Domino really died and that her death
wasn't a marketing plug for Tony Scott's thriller, Domino. However,
the reasons of Domino's sudden death have continuously been very vague,
with only the smallest of details being released. We were first told that
the causes were unknown; something that made people wonder if her small
frame had just been exhausted from a history of drugs and crime. However,
we were later told that Domino suffered from a heart attack/failure while
relaxing in her bathtub. Though this news did offer a bit more, we still
couldn't take anything from it.
Now we have finally been alerted that Domino's death was from an overdose
of painkiller medication. And so ends the story of Domino Harvey.

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith to DVD on November 1st, then you
