Huge Dawn Treader Banner at Cannes

Collider.com has posted a HUGE picture of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader banner at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. (Click here for the full sized image.)

Dawn Treader Banner at Cannes Film Festival

The banner features Caspian, Reepicheep, and Aslan on the left side, and Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace on the right. Unfortunately Eustace is pretty hard to make out, but the rest of the banner makes up for it. Hopefully we’ll get some more pictures of it later today that will have a better angle.

Thanks to Johnny T, matt, and Jacquelyn for the heads-up!

UPDATE: Overnight, we received spy reports from Johnny T, CaspianX, and AJAiken with a link to additional pictures of the banner. EmpireOnline.com has posted pictures of the side panels and the ship has indeed made it on to the banner! You can view the story here.

Thanks for the heads-up!

    AAHH!!! I love it!!!

  3. FriendOfNarnia2 says:

    I really like the blue theme. Nice poster. I was expecting to see more of the ship in their advertising though…

    • Watziznehm says:

      Yeah, I see what you mean. They had better start marketing the actual ship a little bit more as well as perhaps adding a bit of green to their next poster or all the people who don't know the story will get the impression: "Lots and lots and lots of sky – with stars. One knew character! Huh?! What?!

  4. QueenAravis says:

    AHHHHHHHH!!! OMgsh! we are getting sooooo close!

  5. LOTRFREAK says:

    wish it had more greens. and the ship after all it is named after the ship.

  6. Reepicheep775 says:

    I like it!!

    But why is Edmund holding Rhindon? Unless it's a look-a-like…

    • HighQueenofNarnia says:

      How do you know that it is Rhindon? It looks more like a pole to me.

      • chirpingbird says:

        Except that it is a weird way to hold a sword, and I think they'd choose something more dramatic than a pole in the banner. I don't know.

      • Lucy says:

        ooh! ooh! Maybe it's the spear he dips into the magical, turns-everything-to-gold water on deathwater island? Just thinking here. I mean, spears and poles do sorta look alike, no?

      • chirpingbird says:

        I just took a zoom-ed in look. It's almost definitley a sword… maybe a spear, but not a pole.

      • Reepicheep775 says:

        Follow the link to the website to see a super zoomed in image and you will see that it is definitley Rhindon- or at least a sword with a lion head on it's hilt.

      • WilliamMoseleyandSkandarcrush! says:

        I don't care what it is, I'm just glad that there's a banner annd I can see Edmund and Lucy! Lucy is SOOOO pretty!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE!!!!!

    • Lucy says:

      if it is Peter's sword, maybe Caspian gave it to Edmund since Peter's his brother…after all, Peter did leave it with Caspian at the end of the last movie, so that wouldn't be too far-fetched.

    • Haggith Tarkheena says:

      Of course it's Peter's sword Rhindon. Did you guys not see the filming pics? He's was wearing it.

      The High King's sword is now passed on to his brother. . .:'(

      • NarniaNerd says:

        A couple of things…

        1) I'm 99% sure that what Edmund is holding is Rhindon, or if it isn't, it looks exactly like it.

        2) He's holding it wrong. I suppose that we can assume that he fell and hit his head and can't remember how to hold a sword right. (totally kidding…)

        3) OldNarnian, I don't think Caspian is giving Ed the sword in that pic. It LOOKS like he's saying, "HI, ED!! IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU!" But it also looks like Ed is in Narnia clothes, so that would mean he has been on the ship for a little while, so Caspian has probably already said, "NICE TO SEE YOU!!!" or whatever.

        4) Maybe when Ed and Caspian had that sword fight that we saw footage of, they were fighting over Rhindon…no, no, I'm just kidding. Or MAYBE, Ed dropped his sword into the ocean and Caspian lent him Rhindon…Nah. 😉

        Oh, wait a second!!! I was just looking at some spy photos…and guess what is hanging from Edmund's waist?!?!?! I'm almost certain that it's Rhindon.

        That is so weird.

        EDMUND HAS RHINDON.

      • NarniaNerd says:

        Haha, Haggith Tarkheena, I didn't even read your whole post. You discovered it before I did. *high-fives* Way to go! I thought I had made this huge dicovery, and I didn't even read your whole post. *cracks up*

    • OldNarnian says:

      It is Rhindon remember the pictures we got of Caspian giving Edmund the sword

  7. GlimGlum says:

    Great! The Dawn Treader is closer to its great cinematic voyage. Sail on VDT! 🙂

  8. Liberty Hoffman says:

    I love it!!!!!

  9. Luis Daniel says:

    omg i cnat belive that narnia 3 is closer than we espescted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy!! im going to see this movie allot of times in thearters if God permite me too!!!!!!! Narnia keep up the good work. AWSOME Poster

  10. Narniafan says:

    I like the picture of Aslan– it looks straight from the covers of the books!

    On the other hand, I wonder why, when the movie is about a ship, why Dawn Treader, or art least the Dragon head, would not be on the banner. And who are the two people on the right hand section? Edmund and someone else?

  11. chirpingbird says:

    I don't know why, but is it just me or does Aslan look a bit scary? And I can hardly make out Eustace at all!
    Oh well! It's awesome besides that. *Wills more pics to come in*

  12. HighQueenofNarnia says:

    I think it's cool, but is the blue is eerily reminiscent of LWW, or is it just me?
    I could make out everyone fairly well except Edmund and Eustace. Obviously Eustace is a bit obscure, but I could not tell anything about Edmund. It was just a blob next to Lucy's face. I even put a magnifying glass to it, and I still couldn't even make out his face, or even verify that it was Edmund (except that FK said so). Maybe my computer graphics are bad or something.
    Another thing- Lucy, to me, looks similar to the Lucy in the farewell scene in PC.
    And Aslan's eyes are too shiny. (I'm thinking that maybe my computer is distorting the image! I love the banner but the colors and shapes are all wrong!)

    • sgk474 says:

      Edmund looks very clear to me when i clicked on the 'Collider' link. I think the connection to LWW is intentional because it's the most dearly loved book by the general public. Aslan does look a little different but surely they'll make his look consistent? A great banner I think – I have faith it'll be great!

  13. sgk474 says:

    I think it looks brilliant! Can't wait…

  14. Lady Galadriel says:

    Yes, we finally got something! 😀

    All I see are Caspian, Reepicheep, Aslan, and two boys' faces on the right. I don't see Lucy….I wonder if I'm not seeing something right.

  15. Starlily says:

    I can't see much of Lucy, Edmund, or Eustace–but I can see Caspian's beard. 😀

    Hey, is it just me, or does Aslan have dark rings around his eyes? Like he put on mascara? Maybe they're giving him a slightly different appearance in this movie. But he looks good.

    Anyway, the banner looks great. I love the blue. And did anyone notice the stars above the title? It's like a foreshadowing of what's to come, because stars play a bit part in VDT (at least as characters). Pretty cool! 🙂

    • elanor says:

      I didn't even notice the stars…but now that you mention it, it does make sense! How exciting! I'm beginning to have a hopeful feeling that a trailer will come soon…

  16. Tarwe, the Narnian Elf says:

    Ohhh! I love it! I wish we could see the two side panels better, though… Can't wait for the trailer! How much longer do we have to wait?!

    LWW's color was red; PC was green; now, it looks like VDT has blue!

  17. Narniafan says:

    btw, if you want the biggest picture of this, click here: http://twitpic.com/1mq2u3/full

  18. narnia fan 7 says:

    AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. AslanJudah says:

    If you don't think this is awesome, you need awesome lessons.

  20. Nash says:

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AWESOME! GOSH! CAN'T WAIT!

  21. Mike says:

    Does anyone think Aslan's eyes look different? Maybe it's just the coloring.

  22. Lucy says:

    Eh. Ma. GAWD! (faints).

    (Wakes up screaming, "Throw the nuts at the Telmarines!", realizes she's still in the middle of commenting, straightens herself out and gets on with it)

    Wow…that's so cool! When they gonna gives us a trailer so I can watch it over and over again like a crazy stalker until someone drags me away from the computer? LOL. Just kidding around; but seriously, fox, make with that trailer already!

  23. Susan the Gentel says:

    I can't tell you how much i'm looking forward for it 🙂
    now all we need is a trailer!!

  24. true-narnian_queen says:

    OMG!!!! i am freaking out!!! i saw Csapian!!!! they need to get more pics of it!!!!

  25. Silver the Wanderer says:

    Sweet!!! Nice to see that Fox is getting an early start on the advertising. Let's build the hype!

    And for all you people worrying about Aslan, don't worry – I think they just used some random lion picture instead of a CGI image – kind of like they did for the LWW and PC movie posters. Maybe this is the picture that will be on the VDT one?

  26. Waleed Sajjad Khan says:

    AWESOME I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  27. Return to the magic. I'm going to be there Dec 10.

  28. Braden Woodburn says:

    Woooooww that looks AWESOME! Can't wait to see this movie! I hope we get word on when the trailer is available ASAP!

  29. Looks great, but I can't wait for the other angles!!!!!

  30. LucyP0104 says:

    WOW! How exciting, it's almost as good as seeing a poster. I just wish the picture showed the faces.

  31. Embrace says:

    Great stuff indeed! I can´t wait! It will rule the seas!

  32. Lylanarniafan says:

    I love it it's wonderful, but Lucy, Edmond and Eustace are very small 🙁
    but now i feel so exited to see the movie.
    it will be great 🙂

  33. TumnusTheBrave says:

    i think they r trying to make a pirates of the Caribbean theme in the movie

    • chirpingbird says:

      Really? Why do you say that?

    • Caspian says:

      THANK YOU! Since when did Caspian turn into Orlando Bloom and Lucy into Keira Knightly? *pause* Oh stink. Because that would mean….NO! *goes running off a cliff because of implications that follow and then realizes that maybe they just look like the people from POTC and haven't carried over their attributes too*

      Though if Ed starts saying "Savvy," I'm going to die.

      • Starlily says:

        LOL! That would be so horrific! I mean, maybe it would be funny as a joke, but if it were actually in the real movie……ohhhh….perish the thought! Seriously, kill that thought before it gets out of hand! People can not say "savvy" in Narnia!

    • Braden Woodburn says:

      It only looks that way because much of the setting of the movie beats Pirates of the Carribean in my eyes by a landslide lol. But it will definetly be a new look for the actors compared to being in armor and in a battle of some sort like the last 2 movies.

  34. Long Live King Skandar says:

    Im so thrilled that VDT has been given such a great promotional banner at such an old, prestigious film festival…because VDT is just that AWESOME!!! YAY trailer here we come!!!!! LOVE the blue

  35. Fire vein says:

    Sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now alls I need to do is see the trailer and my life will be perfect.

  36. Pinoynarnian says:

    Aslan looks scary, and the banner/facade graphics looks like rushed but still excited in the movie! ^^

  37. Daéa Reina says:

    The right side is too dark. I can't see Lucy!

  38. pselpevensie says:

    that's sooooooooooooooooooo cooooooollllllllll!!!!!!!!!
    just wish i could see edmund, lucy and eustace a little better.

  39. LL says:

    Edmund!

  40. glumPuddle says:

    I want one!

  41. Anna says:

    I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

  42. Haggith Tarkheena says:

    Cool. . .very cool. I can't wait to see the official poster! 😀 Eustace looks like he's glaring.
    Caspian looks awesome. Ed I can't really see. Is that Lucy? Yeah I think it is. It sucks that I can barely see it. 🙁

  43. WOW! I can't wait to see it at other angles. Edmund, Lucy, and Aslan send excited shivers down my spine. Maybe the trailer will be released to the public soon…

    ~AB~

  44. checkers says:

    Wow…..that's all I got to say…just wow….

  45. narnian resident says:

    it looks amazing! lucy looks so different! when i saw it i was like, "who is that girl there?" then i realized its lucy!
    boy i just love the pictures, although im surprised they didnt get a picture of the Dawn treader, or at least a piece of it. but i suppose they couldnt because it would have been too much on the banner. all in all it looks absolutely amazing. i am shivering with thrills and excitement right now!

  46. daughter of the King says:

    I'm liking the blue. Any chance of seeing it at a better angle?

  47. Narniamiss says:

    I hope they make this small-sized so we can buy it! 😀
    I love it, but I wish I could see the trio on the right a bit better. Georgie looks great!
    Aslan looks totally awesome, and Ben…looks silly.

  48. Oh. Wow. That looks amazing. I'm not one to freak out about posters and such, but this one looks good. Lucy looks gorgeous (sob) and Edmund, Eustace and Reep look great. Caspian…looks like he's sneezing, but I'll overlook that.
    This really gets me excited!

  49. KingofKings'Daughter says:

    AHHH!!! Guys, we're halfway there!!! Is it just me or did Lucy look older? And Edmund…can't wait to see him look so heroic.

  50. tenthofthatname says:

    Loving it! Caspian looks so grown up (nevermind how old Ben really is hah) but everyone else looks wonderful. I also believe that is definitely Rhindon.

  51. greenbird37 says:

    This absolutely rocks!! Getting closer!

  52. THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I love they banner!! 😀 I can't wait for more angles! It's quite hard to see the side with Lu, Ed and Eustace but Edmund is holding a sword. Rhindon? Though I would actually like Caspian to keep it…anyway…THIS IS GREAT!! I can't wait for the movie, and this just let's us know it's gettting closer!! I can't wait for more updates!!

  53. CaspianX says:

    OH MY GOSH! That's awesome! Here comes the marketing campaign! Sail forward VDT!

  54. Sir Jack says:

    first of all: I LOVE IT!!
    but:
    -I wonder, why they don`t show the dawn treader
    -I like the way Aslan looks, but why do they change the way he looks for every new film?!

  55. Emmanuelle says:

    Great ! I shall try to take some photo of this banner, I live near Cannes 😀

  56. AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can't wait…
    I'll watch it in 3D

  57. Alli says:

    What the hell did they do to Georgie Henley's face?! That is MASSIVELY unflattering photoshop right there – she's barely recognizable!

    • Elf Maiden Archer of Rivendell says:

      Georgie H. mentioned in the Prince Caspian DVD commentary that she had to get a certain kind of plastic surgery for her face. She probably got another one.

    • Starlily says:

      Yeah, I think they photoshopped Lucy a little. I think she looks okay, but I wish they hadn't done it. Georgie looks nice enough without photoshopping.

    • QueenLucy12 says:

      WHAT!?!?!???!? I Don't remember her saying that in the commentary!?!?!?!

      • I don't think it was plastic surgery. I think they pulled the skin on her face back to make her look younger at the beginning of PC becuase she'd grown so much.

      • Elf Maiden Archer of Rivendell says:

        Something, like a plastic surgery, or face surgery. They can do anything with make-up nowadays. I remember seeing a Legolas poster, and I noticed he had excess make up, that made his face look xtra shiny. Ooh, I see The Dawn T. there next to Caspian.

  58. Elf Maiden Archer of Rivendell says:

    Oh, am I so excited or what?! Hopefully, they will have more posters, like teaser ones that's more focussed on the Dawn Treader. Please, please release the teaser trailer. Can't wait to show my friends this!
