You're kinda missing the point. Lucy shouldn't be more than maybe twelve in the movie, even with them making the characters older. In that pic she looks more like eighteen. It's way too old a look for her. Susan's the one obsessed with looking pretty and grown-up.

She's bound to be older than she is in the book. She was nine when they were filming LWW, although I believe she was only six in the book, factor in the years that passed in between filming, and the age difference becomes unavoidable.

No, Lucy was eight in the book, according to the Lewis/Hooper timeline.
In LWW movie she was scripted as eight but I am happy with nine (and youngest who is sometimes little-girlish).

They wanted to keep the one year between stories, for the films, and there's still got to be some continuity between the books and films. By VDT they are still meant to be in wartime, so it can't be any more than 5 years since LWW - by which time Lucy could be 13. If they play her as 12, that would play Ed as 16/17 - the oldest Peter was in PC. I could live with that, I suppose. It makes more sense too, for Aslan to be saying they are now too old.

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Nothing new with this picture over at ComingSoon.net. Just a slightly better picture than a very similar one I saw in the image gallery. ;)

And...it is nice to know that VDT banners (and soon I'm sure posters) are spreading to other sites.

narnialover101: I guess that's possible but it still looks like scaffolding to me :p .


It's not a scaffolding; I'm 99.9% positive.

Who in their right mind would make Lucy another PC Susan? Oh wait, Hollywood.
Georgie is going to be 15 in July and maybe we were hoping too much that she would stay a little girl forever even though we knew she wouldn't. I think that Lucy Pevensie has been 8 years old to to me, in mind inside the books, that having her look so grown up bothers me.
Maybe we just have to hope they get this right no matter what some banner looks like.

I'm not sure it's fair to conclude that they purposely made her look older in the banner. I, for one, just think that's the way it ended up looking after they photoshopped it to death. ;)

Anyways, I don't really mind the Pevensies being older. I like seeing them growing up and their characters maturing. They very much did in the book, despite there only being a few years between them.

well I agree it was photoshopped waaaay too much. And I know they have to get older. But I hope they don't make her get older in a sensual way...or something. Idk. I just don't want more romance in these movies than what is in the books.

If you're thinking that there will be some type of romance between Caspian and Lucy in the movie, I seriously doubt it. Georgie is like 14 and Ben is 28. It wouldn't be right. Calm down please every one. Georgie is growing up and I'm sure it's the makeup matching up with the photoshop that they did to her. Luckily she has those awesome catlike eyes. They're pretty.

The only romance I want to see in this movie is Caspian and RD, that's it.

^I don't think it will be with Caspian but they could always have some random villager or sailor 8-| . My point is, I don't want them to make her lose her child-like-ness. She is a huge aspect of Narnia b/c she in a way makes the magic more real. Just her wonder at everything. At least in my opinion.

Don't worry, you guys. Remember this {http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/movies/news/2010/willdawntreaderfloat.html} article? They're really doing everything it takes to make the movie as close to the book as possible, especially spiritually. I don't think spirituality would agree with a sensual Lucy. So I'm not gonna worry!

I also think it's unfair to assume that the people involved with the production have ulterior motives in their portrayal of Lucy. C'mon guys: Georgie's growing up. This is unavoidable. Caspian is already far older than his book incarnation; can't we deal? It's the nature of filmmaking. Would you want someone other than Georgie playing Lucy? That's the only alternative. :p
