This was my first reaction: "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! By his description, it sounds like VDT will be an awesome movie! I just wish it didn't have the title The Voyage of the Dawn Treader!"

Only time will tell if I will come down enough to be able to reiterate further.

All I have to say at the moment is this is definitely going to be an interesting ride between now and December!

I still don't like the fact that Eustace and Edmund don't have their talk alone. But I love that Susan is hopefully in America. I am disapointed that it is still during World War II.

Thanks for the find, Icarus!

... looks like it fully delivers the magical excitement in that classic story.

This sounds encouraging.

People almost want us to apologize that "Prince Caspian" took us away from the world of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."

Whatever gave him that idea?

Serious spoilers. You all are warned.

Thank you, Carla Hay. Excellent article.

Thank you Mr. Apted, and Mr.Johnson! Looks like a great movie coming up.

WOW!!!!This makes me even more anxious about the movie I love the first sceen!!!!!!!!! It sems like it is going to be funny, and i like all the sceens. I was so excited about the Ramandus Island part but what is up with the whole Caspian and Edmund both being attracted to Lilliandil???? Is there goint to be some kind competition, or test???? Hopefully not I was also glad to hear that we will see more of Caspain in the next trailer Overall this makes me even more excited about the next trailer and the movie Oh yeah and starkat I agree this is going to be a very interesting ride untill December, but I cant wait!!!!!!!

I didn’t want everybody doing bogus European accents.

SCORE!! That's awesome.

I cannot wait for this movie Yeah, it's got some news spins and twists on things, but hey, as long as the end result is tight and well-done, who am I to complain?!

Okay. I think I'm good with everything there except the seven swords storyline. Hopefully it'll be nowhere near as bad as it sounds.

icarus strikes again! Looks like he was right about the Dark Island being the unfathomable fate. Ugh.

This is too much at once! Not sure how to react. It's so overwhelming.

Reep reviving Eustace: FTW! Sounds great.

Coriakin's dialogue made me roll my eyes so loud, I think it made a sound. So much for subtlety.

Awkwardness in front of Ramandu's Daughter? *sigh* Hollywood!

Lucy being kidnapped by the Dufflepuds. All the nobility is being sucked out of these characters. In the book, Lucy chooses to do it because it's the only way to save everyone. It appears that in the movie, she is forced to do it. Just like Caspian: In the book, Caspian is looking for the seven lords out of a sense of responsibility. In the movie, apparently it's to save Narnia from the dark island.

The ComingSoon.net account mentions David Arnold's "glorious score" which is encouraging. Here is a link to that article. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=70197

Overall I think this is going to be really positive!
My only serious negatives are:
- that they make it sound like Edmund and Caspian are both going to be after Lilliandil, hopefully they won't make a big deal or huge rivalry over it.
-that from the sounds of it Ramandu will not appear, but only get a mention (I think "introduces herself as the daughter of Ramandu" really hints to this

The Pluses:
- Its sounds like the seven swords sub plot only revolves around the dark island (I'm a tad bit upset that the WW may be involved, but its better than LotGK)
-The sea serpent battle sounds awesome, also I'm glad that this epic battle apparently will involve the sea serpent attack, and not just random people fighting (Can't wait to see it in the third trailer! )
-the fact that Apted had a good reason to change Caspian's accent (I personally liked it, but I can see his point in trying to give everyone European accents. Also I think he fully believes that it would help in the movie's delivery, and that he didn't do it to simply appease the fan base.)
-Eustace, and Aslan sound like they are staying true to the books
-The clearing of the Aslan's Country riddle, and that Reep will indeed be the only one that makes the journey.

Overall I think this indicates that the movie will be good!

I like everything i read. The best movie of the year for sure.

a soon-to-be released third trailer from "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Can't wait . I hope by mid-october.

Ahh! According to ComingSoon.net's report, THE WHITE WITCH will return unless Caspian finds the seven swords!

I am officially panicking. This isn't happening. Am I on the Dark Island right now?

ooh, this is SO cool! I can hardly wait!

I love what Eustace is writing in his diary

um, why is Edmund attracted to Lilliandil.....?

this movie is going to be amazing!

so now we know why Lucy is going through that door! yay!

I hope people forgive that I didn't read the original article (just the bullet points on the main page) or all the posts as I don't want every single detail given away before December....

Some of the changes sound pretty big but I've decided to let them go. I just want a well-done movie that has the charm and wonder of the book. However, the one point that has me concerned is the seven swords. Once again, I didn't read the article so maybe it explains it there, but I'm not sure how that will all play out. The Dark Island is a bit of a confusing section in the book (probably why it was rewritten for the American edition) so I can see why the filmmakers want to make it a bit more of a tangible adventure. Internal struggles are hard to portray visually and then, in the book, they seemingly just, somehow, escape. Yet it's a great concept and wouldn't be impossible to do.

My problem with the idea is it shows the characters have to earn their freedom from the darkness when it's Aslan through the albatross who has to guide them out. At least Aslan is involved in this version. I just hope they keep the albatross as that's such a great image and allusion to the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. This is the one spoiler I'm most concerned about.
