If you mean why Edmund has it, it is obvious they are playing musical swords. Maybe every new island or every time the background music changes they switch weapons. I just had a picture of someone shouting in the middle of a battle "Switch" and then the action pauses while the Narnians toss their sword to the next person.

Hah, that made me laugh.

Eustace-the-Dragon does /not/ look very good. To be honest, I almost prefer the BBC version. At least then they had the excuse of not very good technology...

And Aslan looks just...too something. Cuddly, maybe. And not half big enough. "He was the size of a carthorse...the size of an elephant."

I don't like the Lucy on this poster. I like the one in The Movie Storybook. And I like Eustace's new pose. Now they just need to change Edmund.

@icarus: thanks for linking to the French version of this poster. But I think the source is Narnia France. http://www.lemondedenarnia.com/news/art ... pyxidis.fr

News from Aslan's Country: On its forum, someone at Narnia France has also found a new Lucy still. It's the same pose as the new Lucy on The Movie Storybook. But what is the source?

So what do you think?

Amazing poster, I'm getting more and more excited!
But I don't like how Lucy looks!

^ I know what you mean Elanor! I wish that they could have used that other picture on some advertisement I saw. Nonetheless still a fantastic poster!

This poster is just meh to me, I'm not really all that impressed. It just looks like a bunch of images crowded together and then "feathered" on the edges to make it feel blended together. Honestly, I've seen better "posters" made by Narniawebbers in the fan art section. There have been many created there for VDT that I would buy much sooner than this "official" version. I didn't care completely for the posters for PC, but at least I could understand them from a design point. This just looks like a bunch of promo images slapped together on a blue BG to give the ocean feel. I honestly feel like the dragon image is from stock or another film. Even though I know it's Eustace, it just doesn't match the other images. Sorry, I much prefer the first poster for VDT.

Putting all three posters side by side, you can definitely notice some significant stylist differences between the desgins, even if they do all adopt the same generic collage style:

I think of the three, the Prince Caspian poster would actually have to be my favourite, even though at the time i wasn't a big fan of it. The LWW one is still too random and jumbled for my liking, and although there is something interesting about the striking vividness of the VDT poster, i would have to say that it does look rather cheap compared to the previous two.

It also draws attention to the very noticeable difference between the image of Aslan they have been using for this movie, and the image of him from the previous film's promotion.

I agree. Disney may of over done the marketing for PC but I have to say, they did a great job of it. Anyways. I just realised somthing. Fox is known to taking great books and completly changing them (Eragon is a prime example) so now I'm not even suprised that they would change the movie.

But here is an idea. Have the movie makers create a board of the best writers from all the top Narnia fan sites and have them reveiw the script. Then, for marketing get a group of the best graphic artists from the fan sites and have them make the graphics. Now then we would come up with so really good stuff.

I have to say, putting all those three posters together - PC is the best. Oh, how I love that movie. I want to see it again . .
The VoDT one is a little crowded, I think. But I still like it!

I like the LWW poster best because I think it captures a lot of what the movie is about than the PC one though I wish they had Aslan center stage rather than Caspian. I like the VDT one but it has a weird feel about it though it is a bit more magical and adventurous than the previous ones.

I like the PC poster the least, partly because of the coloring. Yet it rightly features Caspian in the center.

I like the LWW poster the best - coloring and Aslan in the center. VDT is second fav - coloring and Aslan/ship sharing center stage. I like a lighter background and then the characters/action layered on top of it. But I really dislike Aslan in the VDT poster! This bit looks almost juvenile! I much prefer the first VDT poster, with just Aslan and Reep and the ship in Aslan's eye.

A collage style doesn't bother me.

I personally quite like the poster overall. It has great energy with the splashing waves around the Dawn Treader. The "stary" background gives a magical feel to the whole thing too. Can't say I like the dragon though - in fact its terrible. I showed the poster to two of my sisters and the first comment they made were "Oh, that looks nice but I don't like that dragon!"

One of my sisters is a photographer and she thinks the poster looks really good. Her first comment on seeing it was "They have certainly touched it up pretty well," but I guess we should expect that for a poster. Some people just LOVE fiddling with editing programs like Photoshop She liked the shot of Edmund as she thinks it a good example of an action shot - quite different from a studio portrait. She also really liked the photo of Eustace and the WW. She wasn't so sure of Lucy though. But overall I think she really liked it.

I think its important to remember that what we see on a poster may be light years away from what will make it to the film. I mean the dragon may be sooo different, Lucy may look more natural, Reepicheep may be done better ect ect....

Hmm...Uh...I think BBC could make better dragon. I didn't really want him green because it is such a normal dragon color but I didn't want him brown. Certainly I didn't want him to look like this. What is up with Lucy? Are they trying to make her look like they use animation to make her? I like the picture of Eustace though.

The dragon looks a lot better in the trailer, he is just in a weird position.

And as far as him being brown is concerned the island he's is on is a desert island which means he would be the same color as his surroundings so he could blend in when hunting.

I can't believe I just noticed the dragon - and he does look horrible!! But I'd also agree that he looks better in the trailer and other pictures . . so I'm not worried.

I always pictured the dragon dark purple/red or black. Brown's alright though.
