The books are on a big stone coffin. Strange. I don't know what to think. The whole witches knife seems very strange. I know that it is mentioned in the book, but that seems strange to be the cause of the darkness. I guess it at least is not some new made up object.

Thanks for your thoughts icarus. Always worth the effort.

Looking at the photo, my first guess was that someone turned up the brightness in photoshop. I am no expert, so I could be wrong, but it looks like the scene could still take place in the dark. Or, as you said, someone opened the windows.

I wonder why they called the Magician's Book the Book of Shadows. Probably has no significance whatsoever, but it's a very odd title. Oh, and I noticed that the writers of this magazine apparently prefer epic battles and Big Bads.

As for the casket:

Excellent analysis of the picture, icarus.

The similarities to the leaked script are disturbing, but I'm hoping like mad that this scene was the only one that managed to make it into the final draft.

For the life of me I can't figure out what the Stone Knife could possibly have to do with the plot. A tomb with bells and headless statues and ancient documents and the dagger that was used to kill Aslan? In listless Narrowhaven, of all places? At this point, weird is the only word for it.

So much for "nothing in the leaked script will be in the movie"

First of all, GREAT PIC!!!! But a little confussing I dont remember there being a fight in the book with Edmund and Lucy(because they were being hled captive) and what would the stone knife have to do with this scene Well I suppose we will just have to see the movie to get things clearified I am very happy though to see some kind of promotion for Dawn Treader

Thanks for the analysis and the picture icarus! I am more than anxious now for the movie to come out! Can't wait to see where all these fights lead to!

Yes!!!! It also makes me more anxious for the movie too!!!! GO NARNIA!!!!!!

I love the photo on a purely aesthetic level. I love the costuming, the set, and the general feel of it - it definitely conjures up the mood of the book, even if some of the details aren't straight from Lewis's text.

Icarus, is there anyway we can read all those tiny articles all over the picture?

I have a feeling that they had left some of the things in the leaked script. In screenwriting class I've learned that once an original screenplay is written some will still stick around when most of it is revised such as taking things out or expanding the ideas originally written. I like everything that I'm hearing so far, but what about the stone knife? I thought it was at Ramandu's Island. Unless they pull some sort of Prince of Persia plot on us where Caspian brings Lilliandil the knife that is a guardian of. It shall be good.

wow! I love this photo! It looks like the movie is coming together so beautifully! I'm less worried about Susan and Peter being in the movie (from what Anna said) and this looks so neat. I had *wondered* if maybe Eustace wasn't with them when they got captured by Pug. This is purely speculation, but remember the screencap of Narrowhaven we had? All the characters *EXCEPT* Eustace were pasted on that background. What if he was sitting there waiting for them? And then he got captured later? or before? Anyways, that is purely speckulation. If it worries you, don't take my word for it, okay? Chances are, I could be wrong, but it stands to reason Eustace is the sort of snot to *not* go with them to the bell tower.

And I wouldn't worry too much about the leaked script. Especially if Cornelious was in it

And about the lighting in the picture, my guess is... it could be a night scene (to warrent the torch in our first picture we had from the Bell Tower) because most of the time they shoot these scenes during the day... not at night. So the first picture we had would have been shot during the day, but they would have darkened it for the movie. So maybe this picture just hasn't been darkened like the other.

Anyone notice that Edmund has Caspian's spanish sword? Or it looks spanish. It sure isn't Rhindon

Overall, it looks good! This looks like a perfectly awesome movie, Apted! Thanks for the report, icarus! You're great at getting these stories for us!

Very much agree on that point.

If you click on one of the flickr links (at the bottom of the first post), and then bring up the large size for each image, you should be able to read the text. Or use the direct link here if it will work:

Though i wouldn't really worry about being able to read it, since the text merely contains their opinions as to what is going on - quite thankfully they even use the phrase "our best guess..." in most of the comments, so you can be certain they didn't have any additional information to go on when writing it.

That said though, their guesses were pretty solid for a magazine which is primarily a sci-fi magazine, and they did get one thing right that most of the magazine articles i think got wrong - that VDT is probably the best book, but its not because its the most cinematic, in fact its fundamentally un-cinematic in many ways

Thanks again, icarus. Nice to have a new shot of something. I too agree with the "it looks nice" sentiments.

Looks like there will be a skirmish with Gumpas' and also Pug's men as well. I think I can handle that. I just hope somehow they also incorporate
the deception-of-strength/numbers element from the book.

If they can do both, then the Narrowhaven account/narrative should turn out pretty good.

oh my word! I nearly hit the roof when I saw the new picture! just shows how excited I am for any new stuff from VotDT!
wow, this is so cool!
