Awe those new pictures are so sweet and so romantic!

I'm beginning to wonder if Ben and that pretty blonde actress are the actual characters in the writers mind in the film. I could be wrong but but i am basing it on that.

News Flash:

BARNES DRINKS PEPSI!

^ I saw those about a week ago and that was my first impression in the pictures "He Drinks Pepsi!!!"

To be honest I think i'm mostly looking forward to seeing him in The Seventh Son. I've been reading the wiki pages of the stories and it's a children's chronicles. It sounds very good and I can't wait to see it.

Oooh, The Seventh Son?! I haven't heard of that! *goes to google searching rapidly for Ben Barnes movies*

Re: Ben Barnes in the upcoming movie The Seventh Son. They released the first concept art for the movie today and it's beautiful. But I can't read the synopsis without laughing hysterically. It's the same story as every other modern fantasy story (Dungeons and Dragons, countless video games, etc etc). I doubt this one will be any different. But I like the concept art!

I'll be curious to see how Ben looks in full makeup for this one.

Thanks for the link, FK! I hadn't heard of this movie nor Ben Barnes' involvement until now. It'll be exciting to see where this goes. He's such an amazing actor and I'm glad he's getting a chance at more roles.

To AslansChild: Ben was in a play called Birdsong two years ago during the London premiere of VDT. I remember that he had to miss the initial showing of the movie (and the Queen!) because of him having to duck away to get to the play on time. There is a whole gallery of his performance/posters here for it, if you, or anyone else, are interested. You can read a summary of Birdsong here. (Note: I am not sure about the content of the comments on this page, so just a fair warning. Some people aren't always polite with their admiration or excitement.)

On the subject of The Seventh Son, I am also quite excited/interested for/in it. It's good to see Ben back into something with a fantasy genre, and I am looking forward to see exactly what Ben's character is like; since no articles have really expounded on that. Even if I am unable to see the actual film, I'll be happy to see the trailer. It looks to be a interesting role for him and I'm really glad he landed it!

TSS looks like it will be more in the category of dark fantacy. The books are geared toward children 10 and up, but have been criticized for being far too gorey and frightening for children. They've been called more of a young adult series for that reason. They're quite engaging. I've read up to book 7.

The synopsis more or less tore my heart out because it sounds nothing like the book, but oh well. The sad thing is I only started reading the series (which is titled the The Last Apprentice, here in America and The Wardstone Chronicles in the UK, for those interested in reading it ) because of Ben. Had there been no film of the book series I would've never heard of, much less read, it. Now that I've read the books I am halfway dreading the film, as it looks to be utterly different from the series. Yet I have high hopes that it will still be good.

In the books

I'm sorry to go off on a rant like that I'm just not to crazy about how they took these original tales, stripped the stories of heart and soul and put it back together in cheesy Hollywood style. But hopefully I'm wrong the summary is just really bad.

As for Ben's role as Tom Ward, as I stated Tom is supposed to be 13. Ben is well... definitely not going to pass for 13. But Caspian was also supposed to be really young and I think Ben did a superb job as Caspian's character even though he was older than he should've been. He plays young, naive and innocent well so I'm not worried about Ben at alll. I have great faith in him as an actor. It's just everything else that worries me lol

Ben played his role very well - even better in VDT than in PC.
He was very kingly in VDT, if that is the right word - I felt he had a certain authority and security in his position as established King of Narnia. I wish there had been more time in the movie to show it even better.

I liked Ben as Caspain, even though the book does describe him as having blonde hair, when I went to see the movie, I really liked the way they made the Telmorines and I was glad that Caspian had dark hair. I also loved the Spanish accent, I was sorry they took it out. In VDT, I agree with Varnafinde, that he played a more kingly role, but then that would make sense, after all, in PC, he is just a prince, who is learning how to become a king, and in VDT he is already a king. I wish they would have stuck to the book more, because movie king Caspian made quite a bit of foolish mistakes. But either way, Ben seems to have that noble bearing about him, which I think was perfect for Caspian, both as a prince and as a king

Just today I believe the trailer for one of Ben's new movies, The Big Wedding came out.

Now, there are some things in the trailer that make it a bit too non-family friendly to post in here, but if one wants to look it up in their spare time, I just thought I'd let you know.

I think the movie looks rather... hmm, strange, but fun. I probably won't be able to see it though.

Thank you for that little update, Lou. The movie's synopsis sounded more in the interesting category, but since I do believe it is geared to be, sort of, a comedy, the fun aspect might be expected.

The trailer for The Words also came out a little bit earlier this year. I would also warn that there might be some scenes in there, depending on which trailer version, that would be deemed non-family friendly, so I shan't post a link here. Mr. Barnes stars in that as a younger Jeremy Irons. What I found cool about this role is that he is playing a WWII soldier, and I have always been attracted to that time period. I probably shall not be seeing the movie, but the few clips of Mr. Barnes set in a '40's setting did look interesting.

The trailer for The Words also came out a little bit earlier this year.

Oh yes! I saw it come on during the Olympics last night, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Ben Barnes. I wasn't expecting to see him at all since I hadn't heard anything about this movie or his involvement in it prior to this. When I saw him, my eyes remained riveted to the screen for the remainder of the trailer. He looks fantastic. I'm so excited to see him getting more film roles! He and the rest of the Narnia cast deserve them.
