William Moseley and several other young actors are appearing in a public service announcement for raising awareness about cancer. The PSA focuses on the high probability of coming down with cancer. Moseley only appears in a brief cameo and has no speaking parts, but the commercial does convey it’s message well. You can view the PSA on YouTube here.  Thanks to everyone who sent it in!

Liam Neeson (Aslan) has been signed on to play Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s  biopic since 2006, but now it seems he as pulled out. “I’m not actually playing Lincoln now,” he said. “I was attached to it for a while, but it’s now I’m past my sell-by date.” Read the story.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

James Bond film composer David Arnold today announced details of his second annual Concert for Care, a charity event for Care International at the Royal Albert Hall on Oct. 18 that will feature one of the biggest ever gatherings of top movie composers.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will play selections of film scores and songs introduced by a dozen men and women who have written some of the most popular film music of recent years.

Arnold, an ambassador for Care International currently working on the music for the upcoming “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” staged the first Concert for Care at London’s O2 Academy Brixton in 2009 with a line up of pop and rock stars.

Having witnessed the work Care does for the under-privileged around the world, Arnold says he was able to attract top people with more big names to be announced.

Arnold promises, “a unique evening with wonderful music as we present some of the greatest film music and movie songs written.”

Tickets for the concert and for the screening go on sale on Aug. 6, with news of additional star names to be updated at www.concertforcare.com.

Other composers in attendance thus far are Craig Armstrong, Anne Dudley, John Powell, Patrick Doyle, Dario Marianelli, Rachel Portman, George Fenton, John Ottman, Jimmy Carr, and last but not least, Harry Gregson-Williams (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; Prince Caspian).

After posting the story on the Dawn Treader poster yesterday, we received lots of comments stating that there have been numerous sitings of a new poster at local theaters that were similar to the one we reported on, but not exactly the same. If someone wouldn’t mind going and taking a picture of the new poster and sending us a spy report, we’d REALLY appreciate it! Thank you!

Harper Collins is releasing a new, hardcover copy of The Chronicles of Narnia for the 60th anniversary of the release of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. This all-in-one copy will release in October of this year. For more information, visit Harper Collin’s web site, here. Thanks to Insurrbution for the heads up!

A 3D version of the Dawn Treader trailer has been uploaded to YouTube. This is just a fan-made trailer, but it’s pretty cool. If you have 3D glasses (red, cyan), watch the trailer here. Select 1080p for the best quality. If you end up seeing the film in 3D, you will needed glasses of course, but not the red and blue kind that distort the color. Thanks to ‘Grant’ for the find.

Walden Media’s website has added a new synopsis to their page for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ beloved world – via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader.  In this new installment of the blockbuster “The Chronicles of Narnia” motion picture franchise, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian, and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to the Dawn Treader.  Their mission – on which rests the fate of Narnia itself – takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies, and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.

You can check out all of the previous synopses here.

Thanks Grant for the heads up!

Last week we reported that Narnia would make a minimal appearance at Comic-Con this year. Well according to MSN’s story here, Fox will actually be promoting The Voyage of the Dawn Treader pretty heavily. We went back and checked Comic-Con’s schedule again, and still no mention of a Dawn Treader panel, so we think that for those of you who are going, the booth for Fox Entertainment is your best bet. Tonight is preview night and we’re hoping we might get a sneak peek of what Fox might have in store.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer has now made it onto Apple’s trailer website. You can now download the trailer onto your iPod/iPhone by clicking the arrow by the Watch Now link.
Thanks to Griffle and Grant for the heads up!

Operation Christmas Child, an organization that takes shoe boxes packed with gifts and gives them to needy children at Christmas, will be “embarking on a special voyage with The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” There aren’t any details yet on what this partnership entails, but you can check out the website here. Thanks to QueenSusanJ316 for the heads up!
