Yeah I think this time the entering Narnia sequence has the potential to be slightly suspensful... especially if they have to find their way out of the house without drowning.

yeah, I think that tis is gonna be the best Narnia entrance in the Naria movies so far!

I hope so. I supose I'll point out that I thought the PC entrance was "violent" compared to LWW. Not that thats a bad thing, I actually liked it. But having a whole subway station being sucked away is muchmore dramatic than walking through a door. I'd have to say though that in LWW Edmund's entrance was the most humorous, with him looking for his sister, trying to be mean to her, but then realizing she wasn't there, and then he suddenly sees branches and a forest and its like, "Lucy was right!"

I agree that the modes of entering Narnia have gotten more and more... exciting. But we don't know that Lucy's whole bedroom is going to fall into the ocean. It could very well be that the only reason for lowering the bedroom set into the water tank was to gradually fill it with water that will be portrayed as coming out of the painting. I don't think we should assume that the bedroom will be shown in the movie as dropping violently into the ocean.

Though it is interesting that it appears Ed, Lu and Eustace will have to swim to the surface from rather deeply underwater (according to the 2nd movie blog post). In the book they merely fall into the ocean and begin to tread water. So this could mean that the bedroom does land in the ocean and sinks. As someone mentioned in the "Picture on the Bedroom Wall" topic, this would be like changing the portal to Narnia from the painting to the whole bedroom! It's an interesting and strange idea.

Not to be a bother, but I was wondering if this whole topic might be better discussed in the "Blog #2" topic, or the "Picture on the Bedroom Wall" topic?

This part will be so cool to watch in the movie. The way the blog explains it sounds very cool

I think that would be amazing....and exciting to see! Cant even imagine it!

I'm curious about just how 'dangerous' the transition will appear in the movie. I mean, we all know that Aslan is the one in ultimate control of how and when people get into Narnia, right? So it makes me wonder, would be put Lucy, Ed, and Eustace in such a dangerous situation? I guess one could then make the argument that he is in complete control anyway, so they aren't really in danger - and besides, he's not a tame lion. Still, I think it puts an interesting light on the whole thing when you think of it that way.

Here I thought you were gonna talk about the book entrances to Narnia as none of them are completely pleasent, though some of them are far worse than others.

LWW - Cold, wet snow and pine needles (not so bad)
PC - Pulled into the middle of a bunch of thistles (ouch)
VDT - Fall into a freezing cold ocean (ouch)
SC - Fall off a cliff (not ouch, but AAHH!)
MN - Tricked by an evil uncle and jumping into puddles (not so bad)
LB - Death (ouch)

Interestingly enough, both the LWW and PC entrances into Narnia were less painful or traumatic than the books were.

Though it sounds like VDT is going to be more dramatic as the room appears to be sinking and there may be some slight panic to get out of the room and up to the surface.

^^ your right! they did smooth over the entrances into Narnia from the books in LWW and PC! but no more! VotDT is going to be totally dramatic! I love it!

After the LWW movie came out, it was suggested that the only way to get to Narnia was to walk backwards. But that theory was debunked by PC.

fantasia_kitty, when I first read the title of this topic, the dense thicket entrance in Prince Caspian came to my mind, too. That's definitely worth saying 'ouch' about.

I never noticed that...

Pretty funny topic.

Well, they say you can't get anything for free. You want in on Narnia you're just gonna have to crawl through some thistles, fall off a cliff, or die .
(I'd personally take the thistles)

Seems quite a good place to add a little bit of drama, as wolfloversk said - the train station scene in PC was pretty violent. It's a good way of reminding us that Narnia ain't no walk in the park.

fantasia_kitty, actually in Silver Chair they got to Narnia by walking through a door in the school garden wall. Not too painful!

But that was actually how they got into Aslan's Country, wasn't it? Depending on how you look at it, that might not be considered as part of Narnia. It seems to me that Narnia is more a part of Aslan's Country than Aslan's Country is a part of Narnia. Though it is certainly "Narnia-adjacent."
