Really, Nathan! I’m surprised at the reactions here. This does NOT necessarily mean they will go out the window! Peace. Besides, that’s jumping to conclusions.

That sounds a bit silly. Like, "Let’s hope Skandar doesn’t kill himself, or that would ruin "The Horse and His Boy"!" I would hope he doesn’t because life is precious. (There I go sounding clinche.)
I agree that it’s okay to be a maverick, or a daredevil, but only to a certain extent. (Although I’m not fond of those words. Do they sound almost dangerous to anybody else????)

If the actual actors (Georgie, Will and Skandar) are coming to the surface in the movie, then they will need scuba training. Teaching doubles to scuba dive but not the actors would be a waste of time. And maybe production wants an underwater closeup. Anyway, I think that it’s legal and I hope that it contributes to the success of the movie!

I’m not an idiot I know what I’m talking about. I know that they aren’t actually going to scuba dive in the movie, I’m just saying what are their stunt doubles there for anyway?

Jill Pole you need to get a grip obviously it’s just preparing them for the underwater scene. never are they actually going to go scuba diving in the movie. their agents/parents/them have signed contracts with a scuba diving trainer to teach them how to stay underwater for a long time. RELAX!!

Wow… I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS! I mean, learning about what the ship looks like and seeing pictures of the actors is good, but hearing about what’s going to happen is AWESOME! Sail on VDT.

I’m not talking about them having scuba gear in the actual movie, I’m talking about the legality of the thing. That’s what stunt doubles are for!

I don’t know if I like the "swimming out of windows" bit. I always imagined this scene as this: the waves start to move, the ship starts to go up and down. Eustace freaks and tries to break the picture, while the Pevensies try to stop him. They all get really close to the picture, which has been getting bigger. Suddenly they’re not standing on a floor anymore (it disappears), they’re standing on a giant size picture frame, with waves lapping up and pouring through. They try to steady themselves. Just then, a big wave comes up and sweeps them off the picture frame, which also vanishes. However, you don’t know that until Eustace starts whining about wanting to get back, which is the scene after Caspian helping Lucy, Edmund and Eustace into the ship. Then, when Eustace looks back, nothing is there. It’s simply vanished, which is an unnerving experience for Eustace. Then you continue with the story. I just described what’s in the book- it’s actually not that hard to put on screen, with clever camera angles and special effects.
