More Dawn Treader Pictures, Ben and Skandar Sword Fight

NarniaWeb spy Tamara went to take another look at the Dawn Treader, and returned with more photos and another report on what she saw being filmed:

Sword Fighting ~TamaraI went AGAIN to the set and got some more photos. Had a bit of a fiasco with leaving my memory card at home but I was able to run off and buy another card! Phew!

They were filming a sword fighting scene but it looked like a playful fight because all the Narnian crew were egging them on and cheering and clapping at the end.

There was this one time when Ben and Skander were looking out over the side of the ship and waved to all the people watching (I like to think he was waving at just me 😛 haha)

They had a break for about half an hour and I managed to see Skander literally 2 metres away, he smiled at me and my friend and we smiled back. I couldn’t think of anything to say anyway!!

Ben was walking around as well, close to the fence and waved to this other girl who lost it and almost fell on the ground hyperventilating!! It was pretty funny.

UPDATE: A video of the fight has appeared on YouTube, and a HD option is available!

    cool!

  3. ReepI says:

    That totally doesn't mean anything and isn't relevant to the news story, but it's still waaay awesome!!!!!!!

  4. Sean M says:

    I don't know, that could be the scene when Edmund confronts Caspian about staying with his ship, and not going over the edge of the world…ehhh…probably not. At any rate, thanks for the pics. It's great that the movie's getting on and that we'll have some good sword fights

  5. Livily5 says:

    Finally! We see actual pictures of Edmund! This looks pretty cool!

  6. Edmund-is-hot says:

    Aaaaagh! Skandar!!!! OMG!

  7. Last King of Narnia says:

    Wow!…Look closly at pic 7…Is that PETERS sword Rhindon that Caspians holding.

  8. NarniaWarrior says:

    Fantastic…I don't remember the two of them actually engaging in sword play between themselves??.. This could be an interesting twist of events, tho'..Long Live Aslan !!!

  9. Narniamiss says:

    Wow, I love these, thanks so much! Ugh, once again Ben has his hair tied back…it's already bad enoough long, but now this just makes him look like a hippy. Nice to see Georgie again, time to zoom in to take a closer look at her costume!

  10. Narniamiss says:

    Oh, sorry this isn't relevant, but does anyone know how I can get an avatar here on the comments?

  11. Aravis(narniafan#!) says:

    Maybe it is! After all, Peter did give Caspian his sword when he left! And I'm glad that there's pictures of Skandar with his sword. Is it just me, or does Skandar look just a BIT chubbier? Anyway, Thanks, Tamara! You're the best ever!!!

  12. WillandSkandarcrush! says:

    He does look different, now that you've mentioned that, Aravis(narniafan#!)! But, it's probably just the shorter haircut. Anyway, I don't care how he looks. I still and forevermore am going to have two crushes on William M. and Skandar K.!!!

  13. Miguel says:

    AWESOME!!! Thank you!!

  14. WillandSkandarcrush! says:

    LUCKY TAMARA!!! Skandar actually smiled at you! I wished he at least LOOKED at me if I were at that place. But thanks a blillion, Tamara!

  15. Skandiecute!! says:

    I know!!! He's SOOOO HOT!!! And so is William Moseley. But I think I like Skandar's look in PC better than these pics of him.

  16. caboo29 says:

    Phew! Looks like a friendly fight. I was afraid the same thing was going to happen here between Edmund and Caspian as it did between Caspian and Peter in PC. Glad that doesn't seem to be the case. I would be heartbroken if they decided to change Edmund's character like they did with Peter. Still don't know where this would really fit in…

  17. StoryGirl says:

    AMAZING PICUTRES! The size is WAY better this time. 🙂

    I can't wait to see what that scene is all about.

  18. Queen of Narnia says:

    Tamara you are the best!!!

  19. JoK3R says:

    I would love if the movie added some additional excitiment like a friendly dual. I just don't want the movie to be a Pirates of the Caribbean wannabe.

  20. glumPuddle says:

    Interesting. This shouldn't cause the alarm that the footage of Peter and Caspian fighting caused. I wonder what the purpose of this scene is

  21. Thalion says:

    Interesting. It kinda looks like Ed beats Caspian. Pic 8 looks like Ed backed Caspian to the wall and he toppled. The crew seem to be laughing at him. I wonder if this is a practice duel?

  22. JadistarkilleR says:

    w00t! Tamara comes through for us again! you rock! 😀

  23. 7chronicles says:

    I LOVE Caspian's costume! The whole sword fighting thing reminds me of deathwater, only I'm sure that isn't what the scene is about since they are on the Dawn Treader and no where near a pool of water. Maybe Edmund is just practicing a bit of sword work with Caspian before they reach the Lone Islands.

  24. Embrace says:

    I always thought that it was the case
    but now there´s no doubt about it…
    Ben Barnes is the new Orlando Bloom! 😉

  25. MP_in_narnia says:

    AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! *screams silently because someone is asleep* Yay!!! More pics of Skandar!!! Thank you so much, Tamara! The pictures you have been taking are amazing! lol You are so lucky to have seen Skandar…AND he smiled at you!
    This seems like a fun scene between Caspian and Edmund…can't wait to see how it turns out in the movie!

  26. Leolani says:

    Yeah, they're not supposed to do that. I imagine it's just so Edmund can get some practice, put in the book the only time they nearly fought was at deathwater island.

  27. Giuliano says:

    Amazing pictures…..Thanks for the photos Tamara

  28. Mirima Rosetrader says:

    Tamara you are the luckiest chick you know that? I would kill to go there! They pics are awesome thanks so much! I would almost hyperventilate too like that girl I will not lie! And smiling at you is even better then wave you are so much more fortunate than us poor Americans! England and Australia and New Zealand make all the best films. They really do! You guys rock!

  29. narnian1 says:

    excellent new pics once again, and how nice of them to wave hello!

  30. NarniaWarrior says:

    do you really think that they would have gone that far? I'm confused…Is deathwater island the place where when you go into the water you turn to gold? OR is it where everything is clouded and dark and Aslan has to bring them out by being an albatross???

  31. NarniaLuver4Ever says:

    Wow! Really great pictures, thanks Tamara! And finally some pictures of Skandar! YAY! I was beginning to think that he has dropped off the face of the earth…

  32. NarniaLuver4Ever says:

    Death water Island is the place where the water turns everything it touches to gold.

  33. BradenWoodburn says:

    Dang you are so lucky! I'f I lived close to the set I'd be there every day too! Pretty cool pictures!

  34. Eden says:

    Thank you a million times Tamara! I am so jealous of you right now XD but also very glad that you are there to snap the photos. ;D

  35. Lucille Brown says:

    As I have said before on the forum, Edmund must win any sword fights he has with Caspian if he has any. He is an ancient King of Narnia and should be better than Caspian.

  36. Karine says:

    Sweet! Skandar looks great, doesn't he? I'm happy to see him again, it's almost like seeing an old friend =)

  37. katrina says:

    so cool!!!! i wonder what that scene is though. your the best Tamara!!!! (and very very
    lucky!!)

  38. Arwen says:

    Cool pictures! I wonder what it is like to be an actor and simply wave at somebody to make them fall down hyperventilating.
    What are Ben and Skandar doing with a sword fight? Is that at the end where Caspian wants to go on with the kids and Reep?

  39. Ruthie says:

    Tamara, those are awesome pictures! Tell the cast "Hi" from Narniaweb if you get to see them again. I know Ben knows who we are! 😀

    God bless,

    ~Ruthie

  40. Lutra's Pearl says:

    I don't think that they would be cheering and claping at the end if it was that kind of fight.

  41. Lutra's Pearl says:

    Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!! and Thank you!!!!
    That is so cool that they smile at you guys! The pics. are really great, please keep it up! Keepthe story of Aslan alive!

  42. wannawork4Weta says:

    I can't believe how close you can get to the filming!!! The writing on the mast is so beautiful…I just want to stand on deck and read it! RIGHT NOW!

  43. true-narnian_queen says:

    WOW !!!!! Ben looks amazing!!!! Go VDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. Arwen says:

    I don't recall Legolas using a sword…

  45. Arwen says:

    I guess everyone's already talking about that; 😛 I hadn't looked at any comments before I wrote!

  46. JadistarkilleR says:

    nah, Edmund and Caspian are just sparring, this must be one of those scenes that Ben joked in an interview about the kids pissing on his bonfire (or whatever the heck he said :D)

    sure its not in the book, but i like the physical, and hopefully, verbal, sparring that they can muster up between Caspian and Edmund. both these actors excel in that kind of banter offscreen so it would be a boon to have them do that onscreen. and its not like its gonna be out of character, there's bound to be some pretty good ribbing going on– Edmund is now the only remaining Kings of old, is technically older than Caspian, but still looks every bit like the Telmarine's junior. it would be nice to have fun with that dynamic. 😀

  47. Narniac says:

    Caspian put his hand on his sword hilt…and then Lucy shouted at them. And while she was shouting at them Aslan appeared. But I suppose it does seem to be more of a friendly fight than that.

  48. redeemedqueen says:

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

  49. InLoveWithAslan says:

    For Narnia and for Aslan!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the sword fighting!

  50. Feather~Light~Heart says:

    If they were actually shooting, not rehearsing, in one of the pics, you see Edmund smiling. Why would he be smiling if it was a part where Caspian and Edmund actually going at each other?

  51. Feather~Light~Heart says:

    AAHHH!!! I'm feeling completely giddy at the moment! Omgoodness 2010 just can't come soon enough =D (Look at that photo of Georgie, in some of these photos she's just looking completely different.haha) And Tamara, I think I might've died if Skandar smiled at me. You're so lucky 😛 I wish I could be there!!

  52. pselpevensie says:

    awesome pics tamara! OMG! i can't believe skander SMILED at you and your friends! i wish i was you!

  53. daughter of the King says:

    Great pictures. And yes! I thought the "mysterious" rigging was for a camera.

  54. daughter of the King says:

    Skandar is smiling in one of the pictures and since the crew was laughing I am going to assume that it was just a friendly fight and the two kings are just playing around.

  55. Awww! You're so lucky! I wish I could see them shoot

  56. HisWarrior says:

    Totally Awesome!
