Fansite Narnia France has gotten ahold of four new character posters for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. You can click on the thumbnails below to check them out.

This weekend, most, if not all of the Regal Cinemas across the United States will be hosting a special event tomorrow or Sunday in honor of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. We reported on one in Massachusetts here, but if you’re near a Regal Cinema, it might be worth giving them a call to see what kind of party they have planned in your area!

We hadn’t heard before Tuesday, when the soundtrack for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader went on sale, that it might not be available for purchase in stores. However, it seems that none of our forum members have been able to find it. So we’re curious, has anyone found a copy in a local store? And if so, which ones?

Cineworld Cinemas is hosting a contest for fans of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. From Cineworld’s website: “Steer your way to five lost Narnia characters, all hidden somewhere on the Cineworld website. Only then will you be able to board the Dawn Treader, and be in with a chance of winning a year’s worth of family outings to Cineworld.” (Which equates to four free tickets each month for one year.)

To enter, head over to their website here to find the lost Narnian Lords. Open to residents of the UK.

Thanks to REDROBINS007 for the heads up!

BoxOfficeMojo has a few numbers on their site now from last weekend’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader totals. Unfortunately I don’t have The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or Prince Caspian‘s weekly foreign box office numbers to compare to, but for what it’s worth, you can check them out here. (And ignore their release dates, they’re almost all wrong.)
We also have Hong Kong’s totals on our forum here and it was confirmed that it made more than PC but less than LWW.

Ken Stott, who voiced Trufflehunter in Prince Caspian, has landed a role in The Hobbit where he will play Balin, one of the dwarves in Thorin’s company. You can check out TheOneRing.net’s exclusive casting announcement here.

Last week, Lord Drinian’s sword from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was auctioned off on the Syfy show “Hollywood Treasures.” It was expected to sell for $400 – $600 but the winning bid was $1,400.00!

DailyMail recently posted this quote from Liam Neeson (Aslan):

‘Aslan symbolises a Christ-like figure but he also symbolises for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries.
‘That’s who Aslan stands for as well as a mentor figure for kids – that’s what he means for me.’

World Magazine has an article with some really interesting quotes from Michael Flaherty (Walden Media president) and Douglas Gresham (Co-producer, Lewis’ stepson). The first part of the article won’t be new to most NarniaWebbers as it mereley summarizes Prince Caspian‘s box office struggles and Disney’s departure. But, here are some highlights from the second half:

• Flaherty admits that they were over-confident when marketing Prince Caspian: “We thought we just needed to let people know the date it would be coming out,” he laughs.
• Flaherty insists that the plot changes in Dawn Treader are not inconsistent with Lewis’ worldview.
• Gresham on plot changes: “…I sometimes have to accept, not without a fight I hasten to add, what they say we have to do. I stick to making sure that we get the theological messages that Jack [C.S. Lewis] himself was trying to portray in the books.”
• Gresham says that he fought and won the battle to get Aslan’s famous line “there I have another name” into the film.

It is worth reading the entire article here. Thanks to ‘Malfhok.’
