Narnia trailer!

Cadaverous Pallor · 05-20-2005, 08:59 AM

Saw this trailer with Revenge of the Sith. It blew me away! I've been a freaky fan of the books forever, and have read my copies too many times to count...and I was very, VERY impressed. The crowd broke into applause and cheers at the end of the trailer. They're giving it the Lord of the Rings treatment!

Apparently they're calling it the teaser trailer, even though it seems pretty thorough to me.

Hope this link works. My browser has been screwy today. If not go to imdb.com for trailer links.

The trailer and more can be found at the official site here .

I'm also very impressed. I had heard rumors that Disney was going to go the whole Christian (Passion of the Christ) route when marketing the flick, which turned me off a bit.

While they still might go for that market (let's face it, they'd be stupid not to), it's nice to see that they're going for the SF/Fantasy crowd first. It looks like it's going to be cool adaptation - gets me more excited than HHGG did.

Well, I'll be re-reading this book - for the 50th time. The trailer is great. This is a story I can get into (and have loved for over 35 years). I hope they do a good job. It certainly looks promising!

Is this supposed to be just the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, as the full title implies, or are they going to try to blend the books together?

I don't have a problem with that, so long as it's not the only marketing route (and it does not seem to be.) The book uses a fair amount of Christian allegory, and is studied by many a young Christian in that light. Of course, it transcends that aspect, too, and it's good to see that the marketers recognize that.

It's just the first, they're going to make a franchise.

Oh, and can I just say that I absolutely hated the British made for TV versions? I'll be so glad when they're no longer the only version.

I've seen the trailer, but only on my computer. I'm looking forward to the movie. I've seen some of the behind the scenes stuff from Weta, which looks very cool.

Did they show the War of the Worlds trailer too? I am really psyched for that one. Looks kickass.
