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.

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.

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!

My original understanding was that the entire series had been optioned to do a series of films. (Seven books?)
And that this is in fact , just the first book.

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.

Oh, me too! It's so cool to see what looks to be a proper treatment, just as with the LOTR's. There are some books that are just so great, so evocative in their pure prose form, that trying to make a film or play of them is usually just a disaster. I saw the trailer for the Narnia film last week, and I was so excited to see such promise! I just hope the movie really is as good as the trailer makes it seem.

We downloaded it a couple of weeks back. I'm really excited about this film - I was nervous at first, but it looks so good. Can't wait!
