12 New Photos: Reepicheep On Set
Twelve more pictures are up at MundoNarnia.com, including a shot of Reepicheep’s stand-ins. My guess is that the more realistic stand-in is used for lighting reference, and the green one is what the actors interact with during the scenes. In post-production, the green stand-in will be erased, and then replaced with a computer-generated character (voiced by Eddie Izzard). Green and blue are often used for this because these colors are considered to be the “furthest away” from human skin tones, and so are easier for the computer to isolate and erase.
This first sighting of Reepicheep on set should excite fans, since his role in “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is what made him the fan-favorite of the series.
Most of the photos show Ben Barnes talking to the crowd through the gate, and if you look at the bottom/right corner of one of them, you’ll see Douglas Gresham (co-producer, C.S. Lewis’ stepson).
What I want to know is… Which stand-in will be used for the scene where Eustace swings Reep around by his tail (if they include that scene)? Depending on how fast Eustace is swinging him, they might actually be able to get away with using the more realistic stand-in, and not using any CGI.
It depends on the camera shots really. If they had a few close shots of Reep's face – you know, those almost still shots where the camera is fixated on the character and you can see the blurring background behind as they're swinging around? – then they'll have to CGI him in so that we can see him shouting and yowling and fighting for his sword and all that good stuff.
But I hadn't really thought of the whole sequence just be from kind of a side-angle just watching Eustace swing this mouse around…I think that in order to make the right J-cuts in the film, they'd have to cut from focusing on Reepicheep to the outside shots a few times before the sequence ended. I can't see it all just being the stand-in Reep swung around without any CGI.
Probably they'll shoot it both ways and do a combination.
i think there really good but some of them were really bad and reepicheep is soo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they don't put Eustace swinging Reepicheep by the tail I'm gonna freak out!!!
Yeah same here! But I can see it being the type of scene they would cut out. I don't know why lol. There were alot of scenes in PC that I said I would freak out over if they weren't in the movie, and they weren't! (and yes I was true to my word and freaked out!) I could see them replacing it with something made up like they did alot in PC. BUT this is a different director so who knows!
Yeah… It is such a memorable moment for those characters…
But, yeah, I can understand why it might be cut out. It's one thing to write it… It's another to visualize it. Might come across as weird on film.
I don't think Reepicheep would appreciate being called 'Reep'.
Didn't he get called Reep quite often in the book? *shrugs*
Everyone called him "Reep". Read VDT. "'Aren't you going to say anything, Reep?' whispered Lucy." (chapter 14 ("The Beginning of the End of the World")) "'Yes, Reep, I know we have,' said Caspian." (chapter 3 ("The Lone Islands")).
I really think that 'Reep' really likes the nick-name. It's alright if some of us didn't know.=) See you Narnians!
Okay,Okay,I forgot.
And YES I did read the book!
and besides "reep" is easier to type! lol
I'll tell you what Reep wouldn't appreciate: Being made into a plush toy. 😉
My aunt has a dog named reepicheep and we call him Reep, Reepers, Reeps and sometime Reepster so I think its fine to call him Reep,
They're likely to do a lot of CGI, though I agree a few cuts of a CGI would make a stand in a lot more believable.
it doensnt relly look like reep =(
Wow! Cool pics! Nice close ups of Ben. And neat picture of Lucy on the Dawn Treader. I am so excited! I cannot wait for the movie!
Oh…and thank God this stand-in is brown, and not white. 😉
i agree 😀
I also agree!
I see what you did there, ohohoho…
Agree all the way!
Please don't say "thank God" unless you really mean it.
I love G-d!(I do that(-) because I know that I'm not worthy enough to even WRITE His name. He trully IS good! I'm glad that He lets this production to be made! =) You guys are great Narnians! G-d be with you all!
PS. Aslan represents G-d. Some of you probably already knew that. 'Cause C. S. Lewis was a christian. Pretty cool, huh?
Very cool, Jill Pole.
um, jill, of course you can write it. if you are a child of God, then he will not mind if you say his name, let alone write it! dont ever feel you are not worthy enough to even say or write his name. you have every worth to do so, especially because he loves you.
Agreed, Jesus died so we could freely claim that we are His child.
Amen! I love your respect and awe for God, but he truly is our father. I think he loves to hear us say his name.
I mean it.
Yay I LOVE GOD YAY YAY YAY YAY he is AWESOME I LOVE HIM he is my Saver AND FRIEND!!!!!!!I AM happy to be a christian
Jill; It's okay to write His name. Yes, He is someone we are to respect, but it is okay to write His name. Like Aslan's Meadow said; Jesus came and walked in our shoes, had the same temptations as we do, He was severely beaten, hated, and was put to death. He took the 'wages of sin' upon himself so that we can be children of God. And like Aslan=Jesus said; God is our Daddy. 🙂 Big D of course. So, don't be afraid that by writing His name that you are being disrespectful. 🙂 He loves you and wants to be acknowledged as God. 🙂 "Big G" God. 🙂
Jill Pole, just one correction….. Aslan actally represents Jesus. Aslan had to fulfill the "deep magic" which required death. Same with Jesus; He also came to fulfill the 10 commandments' wages for sin, which also required death. C.S.Lewis used Edmund as an example of who we were before Aslan took His place. We were like Edmund…a traitor to God. We rejected His hope. But like Edmund, when we accept His (Jesus') sacrifice, we are fogiven. 🙂 I just thought I would clarify that….But I'm sure you already have make that connection. 🙂
Aww Reep! He's so cute! (Reep: "Who said that?!") 😛
Well, he IS!!! 🙂
If you were not under the protection of NarniaWeb, we would have fought to the death on this matter! But even such a question of honor must give way to the peace on this website.
hehehe cute and funny too (well, at least the person posing as Reep is funny). Reep's my bff's favourite character (and yes, she thinks he's CUTE)
Reepicheep — Have you ever heard not to challenge an elf to a duel? Eragon dueled me in the past and I believe he would tell you the same thing as well….
LOL
I would like to think that Reepicheep would rather "Coragous, Courtious, or Cevorous(is that how you spell it?)" wouldn't you think?
aravistarkheena, it's Courageous, Courteous, and Chivalrous.
aravistarkheena,were you trying to write 'courageous'?
NicE!!! And I luv the pic of Georgie! Im Lovin' it!!
Lol I love that line!
Oh, from Mcidees(Mcdonalds)? Hahah! That's funny!
No, the line, "'Oh, he's so cute!' said Lucy. 'Who said that?' said Reepacheep." From the PC movie!
Yes, he's cute whether he likes it or not!!
I think if I was an actor, I'd rather act with the fuzzy stuffed Reep, rather than the hairless green one, which has no personality. 🙂
Oh yes – that green one sort of scares me 😛
I see Georgie 🙂
Ya I think that is georgie or at least her stunt double.
It's definitley Georgie Henely. NOT her stunt duoble.
Well 2 against 1 I guess I'm just blind then.^^
I've been waiting for more of Georgie. Haven't seen her. But it's cool seeing Reep!
I did see one picture of her 🙂 I hadn't mentioned…
Go Reep!
Georgie is so CUTE!! I love her ponytail. 😛
I agree with you! She looks very grown up.
Oh my God,can you believe that its Georgie?Think back to when she was doing The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe!WOW!
Please don't take God's name in vain. Very inappropriate.
Ariel_of_Narnia: thanks for taking a stand!
say "omg" for "o my goodness!"
I'm liking the look of this film more and more.
Very cool! I was wondering when we'd get to see Reep on set. Good show.
One more thing (I'm dangerous with the multiple comments option), I like Georgie's look even more without the red jerkin on top of her white shirt. She looks almost angelic wearing only white (I'm done now. I think).
I think you're right. Georgie looks really good in white. And I love her hairstyle. I love the way they've been doing costuming in this movie. In the BBC version of VDT, the borrowed clothes Lucy wears look absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic (who would wear court clothes on a ship??? I mean, seriously!). The way they've done the costumes for this version seem much more realistic and practical.
The costumes for everyone are lovely! I have taken a personal liking to Ben's. I'm modeling him for halloween.
I love the costumes!Its just like my imagination is being made into a movie! 🙂
i love her costume too. i love everyone's costume, even eustace's english clothes. by the way, is he ever changing? i mean, if he eases up on being in narnia on a ship he should change into narnian clothes. i think all the costumes look perfect for a narnia voyage. i was afraid they were going to have lucy where a narnian dress. not that i dont like them, but not on a ship, especially for the fact that there wouldnt be any dresses on the ship! but im really happy with her costume and hair. even if she's wearing "men's" clothes, she still looks so pretty!
YAHOO! Pics of Reep! The cutie… *Giggles*
And a nice pic of Georgie!! 😀 I like her hairstyle, it looks nice on her, and it's nice to have something different than the last two movies. (Not that it matters… 😛 )
Yeah, I like Georgie's hair! It's like pigtails or something, and I always imagined Lucy in pigtails. I do hope they switch costumes a few times in the movie, though, because having one outfit might be boring, even if it looks good.
Yeah, it would get boring having only one costume the whole time. But I think they'll change it at some point in the movie…
The only thing is that it might be kinda hard to find nice clothes in the middle of the ocean! 😀
They will probably find some new clothes for Lucy before they leave Narrowhaven – it says in the book that they spend several days there to load the ship and get ready for the rest of their voyage.
Oh ok, that's good!
I'm hoping that Lucy will get a couple outfits in Narrowhaven, and maybe, if we're lucky (I love costumes 🙂 ) maybe she'll get one when she's with Coriakin, or one when she visits Ramandu's island. That's what I'm hoping, anyway. And I'm looking forward to Ramandu's daughter's costumes too. They should be lovely! (I hope)
The chapter after they leave the Lone Islands, it is mentioned that Lucy went shopping and bought seaboots and cloaks and a few other things. So they could use that and give her a whole wardrobe. Probably won't, but…
They will probably give her a new one at the end;they ALwaYS do.
I still can't believe that Reep would allow (being swung by his tail) this to happen.
Well, Eustace IS at least 3 feet taller than him… 😛
But Eden, Reep is a warrior! He took down like, five Telemarines in 2 seconds by slashing their ankles! I have to believe that if he was picked up he would slash whomever was picking him up.
wannawork4weta, Reepicheep does pull out his sword and slash at Eustace's hand.
And he was taken off guard;you know how nasty Eustace was at first! ;()
Yes, he was nasty. Perhaps I hold Reep to an impossibly high standard, as a Narnian, an invincible swordsman, (I know, he had his tail cut off) BUT I still want to ask Mr. Lewis why he wrote that bit in. It's so degrading for the noble swordsman.
I think that was the point wannaworkforweta.
Naaahhhh…
@wannawork4weta : Well, I'm sure he would have, IF Eustace wasn't the Pevensie's cousin. But since he was, I'm sure Lucy and Ed would have objected to him killing him. And I don't think Reep would ever do anything against Ed or Lucy's wishes. I think (IMHO 😀 ) that Reep would see it as dishonorable and disloyal… Although it was terribly degrading for Eustace to do that to Reep.
wannawork4weta, Lewis didnt write that to say anything about Reep, he wrote that to show a good description of eustace's character and how mean and rude and nasty he was. Reep does a good job defending himself, afterall he couldnt kill eustace even if he wanted to because he was related to King Edmund and Queen Lucy.
Hah! He didn't allow it. He'd never! Not Reep. Oh, how I just love my little buddy!
que bien lo hisieron a repechep salio bn
sisisisisisi bye
i love the costumes and hair! so wonderful to get these pics!
aww…I was going to say oh my God ! he is so cute but I remember the line Silver the Wanderer said in the movie " Who said that?" cannot wait for the movie next year.
ALSOME! I love the pics! Can't wait to see the move! SAIL ON VDT!!!
yay reepicheep! and wow! she got really close pics of ben. i love that picture that shows georgie looking out over the edge. i cant tell if they're acting or not in that pic, but its cool.
wow! Those are all really cool. Ben has got REALLY long hair. But it still looks cool. 😉
Wow! how exciting! thats a cute pic of Georgie! Go Reep!
i saw the Ben Barnes photos earlier on another site, didnt know they were holding out on Reep from me. grrr :p
its good seeing Georgie on a fan spy photo that we can post. she is turning out to be quite a heart breaker, just look at her! 🙂
and full stop! who is that next to Georgie? the one holding an apple? that looks like a child! is that the 8-9 yr old girl that was said to be on the ship? its certainly not a dwarf character– the hands are a dead giveaway. theres no way to tell if they were shooting or not, but that other girl cant be denied this time. of course it can be a production crew member, but those hands are not hands of an adult.
I know! I was looking at the pictures, and I'm like, who is that?? Another girl? The only reason I can think of her being there, is if the Narnians bought her in the lone islands, and invited her along. Or maybe she's just temporarily visiting….. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. Hopefully it won't change the story.
I don't think Gresham would allow that.(changing the story,I mean) 🙂
umm… look at what happened in PC. I wouldn't say that just yet.
Does anyone know how much power Douglas Gresham has? I mean, can he say whether or not they can change things? It would seem he wouldn't have allowed alot of changes in the first 2 movies if he had any say in it.
Yes, there is definitely another in the sixth photo, I saw that myself. Who's the man with grey hair in the same photo? At first I though it was Apted, but he appears to be in costume (unless I'm mistaken – my computer won't open the pics full-sized, so I don't know for sure).
Could the old man be Lord Bern, and the be his daughter? I suggested something like this on the forum before this photo came out. If that's Lord Bern, maybe the idea has some merit.
(P.S. I normally comment on News Stories as Crimson Dragon, but I decided to switch over to my forum name, it's about time I do.)
I also was pondering who this might be. What if it was the mer-girl Lucy saw? LOL that would really blow things out of the water!
Haha…nice pun, but no I'm sure it is not a mer-girl.
Maybe it's Georgie's stunt double? Kind of hard to tell from this angle.
The two were filming together, though. Maybe she's the young girl dufflepud that originally said the invisibility spell? That woudn't explain why she's on the ship, though.
That would be an interesting twist, but I'm not sure that's it. I do wonder, though…
Good pictures of Ben and Georgie! Her hair and costume looks amazing!!!
oh absolutely awesome!!!!!! I really wish I could be there!!! "Oh my gosh he's soooooo cute!!!!!!" Reep: "Who said that??"
Who else has noticed how much Georgie resembles Anna in that shot? She hasn't got Anna's mouth, but her hair, eyes and facial expression are SO Susan in PC.
Can't wait to see more !!
You're right! She does look a lot like Anna!
Reep is so cute!
I have a GOOD feeling about this! 🙂
hapy boy is ernesto

I almost didn't either. Check the 6th pic.
There are actually more pics of Georgie on Mundonarnia.com now! I'm not sure why Narniaweb hasn't posted it yet…
que pongan una trailer de repechep por favor
A trailer of Reepicheep?
*thinking about the BBC version of Reepicheep*
shudder… a lot of things have changed since then. 😛
ha! yeah, I know, huh?
Yeah, Reep was one of many cringe-worthy things in the BBC versions.
I still think it's funny that Warwick Davis played Reep in BBC, and Nik in Walden's version.
I love how Lucy's clothes look like! 🙂
I never thought I'd say this aloud, but… Damn, Ben Barnes is so sexy in the beard and the long hair with a pigtail in the back! 😀
*laughs* 🙂
When they finish the movie… Will they be selling the Stand-in? if so… How much!? LOL! it's SOOOOOOOOO Cute! (not the green one though…)
I hope they have more than one lol
ha! Wow Ben Barnes has a narrow waist. Dude needs to eat more. 😉
Yeah that is one skinny dude
