If you are prone to cry at movies, you might make a note to bring a box off tissues to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So just how emotional is the ending to this movie? Apparently enough that Queen Elizabeth II and Liam Neeson both shed a few tears according to this story on Yahoo. Read more here.

The Dec 2010 issue of Columbia ran an interview with Douglas Gresham. Columbia asked questions about how the Chronicles affected Gresham’s life. They also asked if there was anything Gresham wanted to share about Lewis’ personality. Gresham shared that one of the things that seems to get lost is “the man’s immense sense of fun and humor.” To read the entire interview, visit the website. Thanks to stargazer for the link!

At the Santa parade in Auckland, NarniaWebber Wingles took several pictures of a bus that had been painted from bumper to bumper as a mobile poster for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie. From Aslan to the Dawn Treader, the design works it way around the bus in full color and serves as a wonderful piece of artwork and advertising. Thanks to Wingles for the pictures and coracle for sharing them.

NarniaKr wrote us to let us know that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader will be shown in South Korea in 4D. I had never, ever heard of a 4D movie before so I looked it up. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it.

4-D film (sometimes written 4D film) is a marketing term that describes an entertainment presentation system combining a 3-D film with physical effects in the theatre, which occur in synchronization with the film. Because the physical effects are expensive to set up, 4-D films are usually presented only at special venues such as theme parks and amusement parks. However, in South Korea, some movie theatres also have the ability to present a 4-D film and the film Avatar was one of 10 films that have received the treatment, starting with Journey to the Center of the Earth. Some of the effects simulated in 4-D films include rain, wind, strobe lights, and vibration. The use of water sprays and air jets is also common. A 4-D film is not shown in a motion simulator, although some seats in 4-D venues vibrate or may move a few inches during the presentation.

So basically it’s like being in an amusement park ride while watching the movie in 3D. Cool!

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens in South Korea on 8 Dec 2010.

Thanks NarniaKr for the heads up!
