And it is he that should be taking centre stand in the poster! Alright, maybe not - but, man cant wait for this installment.
...not quite sure why. Voyage of the Dawn Treader probably my favorite. Reepicheep is indeed "fucking awesome man".
man I hope they do him justice
I don't know how anyone took that part seriously.
..."the bolt of Tash falls from above!!"
cliche...tired...and exactly WHAT is it we're supposed to think we know? What is this the fucking Matrix? While I am looking forward to this film I can't help but roll my eyes at the tag line.
Will he be "a chap who seems to be up for anything"?
I'm really hoping this is a good movie. But "Everything You Know is About to Change Forever?" Talk about promising something you can't deliver.
Well done.
...yes, it is in fact unutterably lame. (What was the original tagline for Fellowship of the Ring? Something not as overreaching but ultimately as forgettable....) I do know why they used it, though: Caspian grows up in a time hundreds of years in the future (Narnia timeline) when human immigrants have pushed out the magic and run the talking animals/dwarves/et.al underground (figuratively and literally). Caspian learns his family, despite some goodguys here and there, are actually the oppressors, and slowly learns there are still talking badgers and dwarves and kickass rodentry (Reep is one of many, descended from the mice who chewed off Aslan's ropes in the first story) and, uh, dryads and Maenads (wonder if _those_ are in the movie! The river god there is a goodguy, sort of, btw. Actually Lewis is ambivalent about these things being good or evil--in an essay he called them "neutrals knocking around"--but still thinks the world is a better place with them than without them. Like most of his fantasy work, it's a love letter to paganism in many regards. {s}) *** Anyway, the tagline ought to read "Everything he knows is about to change forever", I guess. But that wouldn't be engaging the viewer or whatever. As if the marketing people thought viewers were going to mistake this for DaVincCode 2 or something.
...of the LOTR one sheets, especially the Return of the King one. I mean come on; the same colour palette, same style character stances, same layout...no creativity involved at all.
Not sure how long this has been up or if its old old news, but the trailer is up at yahoo movies. Not great quality
It just occurred to me that somewhere a marketing executive is receiving a memo from his hireling spies to this effect: "Early fan buzz on Ripacheek shows strong potential for spinoff series a la Wolverine." *** Nightmares of studio greedily milking Reepicheep to death may now commence. (Uh... on second thought, wait, bad analogy there... ack!)
Nice one-sheet, though.
That profile of Aslan reminds me of Imaginationland
How cute.
The Shrek guy made the first film little more than a pretty-but-hollow LOTR clone. Get some real talent on these movies...
No...everything is not about to change. Not on tonight's episode of Lost. Not in this fantasy sequel. Not on the next OC. It's a stupid tagline that seemed ooooh-worthy the first 30 times E.R. used it but now it's worse than "In a world...one man must..."

Don't know why I posted that.
ah, that's all I got...
Food of the Gods, Willard, those things in Princess Bride, and those Redwall punks ain't got nothing on him. Think about it, the dude's a mini-Klingon. All he cares about his fighting and honor.
Hell slash your achillies, he will!
Sorry, but there was no way in hell I was going to let some piece on CBS importing Canadian writing to be ahead of a Narnia talkback.
Ultimately, what made the books worth reading. That said, the Narnia franchise gets a big yawn from me. I might see it anyway.
Anyone who can't see that has no soul.
There, that should keep it in the top ten a little longer.
uh...
Does not look cool at all.
Sersiously, guys. Weren't it cool?
I'm pretty sure that Peter is older than Caspian. Though I don't believe his exact age isn't given one of the reasons he does not fight his uncle is because he would think it a silly challenge from a child. I want to say he's closer to Edmund's age or younger, but I could be wrong.
sorry couldn't help it!
They're about the same age in the book otherwise. But the kids start to reacquire the skills they had learned during their previous years in Narnia, so the fact of the matter (as Peter proves when the question is in doubt, iirc) is that Peter also is a better swordsman than Casp. But the ranking is the first reason; Peter is still technically first among the High Kings (_all_ four children outrank Caspian (strictly speaking). Consequently, to settle a bout between armies it has to be Peter in the duel (the good-guys are badly outnumbered and trying to buy time while Aslan wakes up a bunch of things, iirc). *** To be honest, in the book I don't recall Caspian doing that much once the rebellion kicks off; he's more like a figurehead for the troops to rally around. He's a lot more proactive in the sequel, partly because he's older (and has been officially king for a while.)
Will be interesting to see how this movie does without a bunch of Jesus Freaks backing it. No obvious Christian parallels in this one, and the trailer looked like Two Towers redux.
and you're right, it all goes back to him being the High King. It's just that from several of his actions in the book Caspian appears somewhat childish, more so than Peter, so I think he is younger. Ugh, now I really want to go and re-read. You're right though, there was not a whole lot done until the Pevenses (sp?) arrived, and they wouldn't have been called if they weren't needed in the first place.
More of the same.
should we be interested in this? Wasn't the first one completely bland and impersonal (other than Lucy)? Its not like they changed the team much. The FX were alright but I never got into the movie enough to believe this was the Narnia world.
that the world that was set up in the previous film that ended all happy ... is now gone since it does take place long after the events in the first film. the kids returning to narnia will have to adjust since the happy world that they had left has now been destroyed.... duh..
Muahaha!
Gorgomel was faster (blush).
also, I likes me some Turkish Delight.
Narnia is not allegory, as Lewis himself states, but it does have more obvious Christian themes and messages since Aslan IS God, taking the form of Aslan for the sake of the children. It definitely makes the case for the Christian philosophy and supports many of the apologetics written by Lewis. If you read deeper into the book, you'll find Caspian to be full of Christian themes, and makes a great case for the logical belief in the miraculous and against the skeptic. If the writer and director understood the deep message Lewis was trying to get across with Caspian, this will be a great film, with a stronger Christian message than the first film. Also, I still don't get many who didn't like the first film. It definitely could have been better, but still a great film in my opinion, hardly bland or boring.I recently watched the extended version, and it did improve it somewhat, especially the battle scene. I never saw any of the Shrek films, but Adamson impressed me with his first live action film.
got long and boring towards the end. The battle scenes were terrible, and I didn't care for anyone.
Anyone remember the tv adaptations of these years ago? Reepicheep was played by a midget? Shoddy, shoddy casting. This promises somethimg much more in line with the characters in the book. Plus, its got badgers, so i'm sold.
that middle girl is gettin hot...nice.
"kids on a mythical quest" genre..unless its South Park.
Seriously-this move sucked B I G T I M E. The part, where I realzied that Id paid a perfectly good $9.50 to have some studio executive, thousand of miles away bend me over and give me the old in-out was when i had to the part in which 2 gerbils( one voiced with great shame by Ray Winstone)sitting down ,having fucknig dinner and chatting on. The pits!! The guy on top who mentioned this was A VERY LAME Lord of the Rings Rip-off was right on the money!! To keep my sanity-I pretended the ENTIRE time like I was watching LOTR(which i love)-but couldnt shake the fact that it was designed for 4 year olds. much like the 1st National Treasure , which was a g-rated Michael Bay movie (at least thats HOW they sold it on the preveiws and commercial!)It's movies like that scar us for life!
This one looks so much more epic than the last. And Mr. Caspain is..ahem, SO CUTE. I'd pay full price just to see him shake his stuff. lol But sadly cute guys and great special effects doesn't make for the best movie. The story is just not as good as TLTWATW and it seems like the producers realize this too, so to fix the probelm they're deciding to make the battle sequences bigger? Good idea but it's not going to work. Ah well, I still want to see Prince Caspian. It looks like it has potential to be a real hit.
Didn't know Santa manufactured such violent weapons. I wanted to see him hand one of the kids a scythe. That would have been dope.
I don't like it, not onnnnnnne bit.
Holly Cow, prince Caspian looks a lot like Viggo´s Aragorn don´t you think
This poster's been in theaters for a little while now. Is this just the Internet debut? The net's a strange place. How can something be a debut, if the hard copy is already out in the market.
any love for his Ransom Trilogy?
dang yes. I have a feeling/hope those will never make it to film, but... dang. he sure could write some evil.
the movie was cute, but pretty generic. not too excited to see this, but i probably will. might enjoy it
p.s. that lion is awesome. they do a great job making a cg lion cooler than a real life one. usually that idea fails.
The third kid on the left, the dumb cunt from part 1. IT'S MCLOVIN!!!
mehh
...retro Oxford sci-fi. Perelandra probably my favorite one...
You can see Jango Fett in the outline of Anakin's cloak!!!!!
... now I have the Phish song "Prince Caspian" stuck in my head. "Ooooohhh, to be Prince Caspian, afloat upon the waves..."
We're due for an irascible Doctor a la numbers 1 and 6 in his period-5 cycle of personalities. He'd be so right... man that'd great.
This place sucks - let's get a lion and shake shit up.
Is a Doctor I'd enjoy. I like it when the Doctor is fucking nuts and bombastic. I like the current Doctor, too, of course... But Izzard as the Doctor would be genius.
I'd also accept an oldish Doctor again. How about finally giving it to John Cleese?
I'd also accept Rik Mayall, but honestly, if you do that then you have to get Ade Edmondson or Nigel Planer in there as villains.
wtf is so special about reepichep?, its a fucking lil mouse with a sword.
Is Caspian a metaphor for Jesus? Sorry. Never got past the first book.
and wasn't looking forward to this one, but... Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep is a must see!
Outside the internet people have no clue who he is.
I love the Narnia books. But these movies are offensive. And who came up with that tag line? Ugh.
That stinking headline "Everything you thought blah blah forever" Didn't they use similar pointless slogans on the last few Harry Potter films? Blech! Dosen't the trailer even have the obligatory "This will lead us to OPEN WAR" quote that every fantasy trailer has now? Typical marketing cliche. Poster looks cool though (other than the crappy tagline).
Matrix 1 and Fellowship came out, I thought there was gonna be a whole new wave of groundbreaking, challenging and visually inventive movies on the 21st century horizon that would truely deserve the term 'epic'. This tween-democraphic poster, capped off with that DOA tagline, pretty much spits that notion right back in my face. Anyone got a hankerchief?
but anything that gets it out of the sweaty mits of RTD is a better one.
Fucking Catherine Tate.
I am sick of photoshopped immitations of Drew Struzan's work. He turned posters into movies like Masters of the fucking Universe into memorable pop art (okay, maybe not that good, but damn exciting stuff). This is just more floating heads and partially masked layers. Even if it's not, that's what it LOOKS like. Very unsatisfying.
Real pic, not photoshopped: http://tinyurl.com/33w7wu
I'm not sure why. he's okay. kinda funny but the large english guy dressed as a woman thing is distracting. he is one ugly looking chick.
just sayin, the guy makes great films.... NOT, see how ridiculous all other movie titles sound directed by him... so why THE WOLFMAN, support the insurgence!
...They're all christer/fundie critters after all!
Yes....the older sister (the chick w/the bow and arrow)looks pretty in the poster. I believe she's 16 years old though. And in England, where's she's from,she's considered...LEGAL. Yeah....that's the brits for ya!
...I love the Narnia books, but I will never be able to see cute talking woodland creatures again without hearing that in the back of my head..."...then we can use the blood as lubricant!..."
Does not follow the Model of Lion, Witch and Whatever constantly undercutting the action scenes with slow paced schmaltz.
Love that song. Phish - Live version. 'nothing you can turn to, but the demons in your head. oooohhhh to be ....'
'nothing to return to but the demons in their caves'. :P shoulda looked it up first. Oh fuck it. I'll sing it how I want!!! still a great song! PS - You all everybody!
well. Is that Moses with a sword? I actually didn't think the first one was too bad.
first one held snowy childhood nostalgia, sequels know nothing about!? might enjoy them then. Hope they is better than the Potter films the trailer made it look like!
That show featured perhaps the most faithful adaptation of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to date. "Turkish delight?" "No thanks, have you got any kabobs?" Wik as the Doctor... that'd be insane!
the first movie sucked. I'd much rather watch the moody, emotion saturated 70's cartoon.
Subtle like a Mike Huckabee campaign ad, that is. Not saying it's inappropriate, just pointing out the very obvious. Nice colors in the poster, though.

what the fuck is wrong with you guys; who messed with you when you were little?
...Eddie Izzard. Very funny in...let me think...1996. Mmm...Cross-dressing...a bit risque. Mmm...humourous Socialist material...ah-ha!...yes!... Mmm...Boring little wanker. Go away, Eddie. Yes.
...for films. Sad but true. Quite like the idea of Eddie as Doctor Who, though.
