Next NARNIA film sails away on a trailer!

From ComingSoon.net:

"Fox Walden has released the first trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, opening in 3D and 2D theaters on December 10. Directed by Michael Apted, the third film in the franchise stars Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Ben Barnes, Will Poulter, Gary Sweet, Bruce Spence, Arthur Angel, Shane Rangi and Liam Neeson.

This time around – Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb – 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 and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, 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."

3D December

From ComingSoon.net:

"Earlier today, a rumor started circulating the internet that 20th Century Fox will release both The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Gulliver's Travels in 3D this December. ComingSoon.net has confirmed through our source that it is indeed the case - the studio will be adding a third dimension to those two holiday films.

The Michael Apted-directed third installment of the Narnia franchise is scheduled for a December 10 release, followed by the Jack Black-starring fantasy action adventure Gulliver's Travels on December 22.

It will be a 3D-filled holiday season, which kicks-off with DreamWorks Animation's Megamind on Nov. 5. Disney will then release the Rapunzel film Tangled in 3D on Nov. 12, followed a week later by Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 on Nov. 19. The other 3D release scheduled for December is Disney's Tron Legacy on the 17th, right in between Narnia and Travels."

DAWN TREADER details

From ComingSoon.net:

"ComingSoon.net recently got a chance to talk to producer Mark Johnson about the third installment in the Narnia franchise, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which Fox Walden will release in theaters on December 10, 2010 release.

'Andrew Adamson, who wrote and directed the first two, is a producer on it with me and Michael Apted is directing,' said Johnson. 'It's a whole new franchise, I think it's really benefiting from it. It's a slightly different look. This one is different from the others, it's in that [Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, old Harryhausen films] league and they go from island to island having adventures. I'm very excited about it.'

He added that 'Adamson said something that was so smart early on. I had just re-read the book and he said, I don't want to make a film based on The Lion, The and The Wardrobe, I want to make a movie based on my recollection of it. He took a 9-year-old boy's imagination. He saw things that are not even in the book. Lewis left, sometimes major battles, on a single page, so Adamson just re-imagined it.'

In the third film, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb, 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 and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, 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."

I still say that Disney made a stupid decision to sell the rights to Fox. Only one company in the world is synonymous with magic and that's Disney. Only Disney.
