Star Gazing
Posted October 12, 2009 11:52 am by fantasia_kitty
Often we’re sent stories about what previous Narnian actors and crew members are up to and we don’t always have the opportunity or time to post them right away. Today we’ve compiled a big list of some of the top stories and spy reports that have been sent in lately.
First up is Will Moseley‘s upcoming movie Ironclad. He was actually cast in the movie several months ago, but the film has apparently undergone a bit of turmoil, because a couple weeks ago Slashfilm reported that it’s uncertain which actors are still going to be part of the film.
Liam Neeson has been busy lately with several movies, and some cool pictures from two of his more high-profile films have showed up on the web. The first is Liam as Hannibal in the revamped A-Team. You can check out pics of him in the role here. He’s also starring in the remake of Clash of the Titans as the god Zeus; pictures can be seen here.
Playing another Greek god (though in a different movie) is Ray Winstone, who will be in the first of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Lightning Thief. Ray will be playing the god of war, Ares.
Meanwhile, continuing on with the ever-popular Harry Potter series, Jim Broadbent and Warwick Davis are currently busy filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and II.
And finally, Bruce Spence will be returning in Season 2 of “Legend of the Seeker” which premieres on November 7.
Thanks to everyone who sent in spy reports!
*SKREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 😀 MY SPY REAPORT OF BRUCE SPENCE MADE IT ON HERE!!!!! 😀 YAY!!!!!! 😀 I can’t wait to watch the new season on "Legend of the Seeker"! 😀 Cheack out the website by clicking on my name. Thanks to everyone who sent these in!!! 😀

Cool.
And here I thought this had something to do with stargazer, the mod. 😉
Nice to see what everyone’s up to! Thanks for the updates.
Yeah…what’s the stargazing about?
Star, as in celebrities? Gazing at the stars? Get it? (I only just got it myself).
Oh haha now I get it! 😛
Oh lol!
Ok the only movies I’ve even heard of are the Harry Potter ones… should i take this as a bad sign?
That’s okay, it’s the same with me…I don’t consider it a bad sign! 😉
Yes! I can wait for Deathly Hallows! Its going to be awesome!
I KNOW! 😀 I can’t wait for them eather! I’m reading the 7th book for the second time! 😀 It’s one of my favorite Harry Potter books! 😀
Is the 7th book the last book Harry Potter if it is i LOVE that book it’s amazing! i have read it 4 time beacuse i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in LOVE with it!!
Yes, it’s the last book. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE DEATHLY HALLOWS MOVIE TO COME OUT!!!! 😀 It’s going to be one of the best movies of the year (another is VDT)!!! 😀
Yeah really – I’m so glad that the release dates for VDT and Deathly Hallows 1 don’t clash because they’re both going to be AWESOME! 😀
SICK!!!!!
Rule 1:THE MOVIES SUCK!!
*ahem*Excuse me
I am with you Narina Nut, I don’t care for Harry Porter!
Hey, I’m glad to hear Will will be in something else. Cool. Wow, Liam looks so odd that silver haired! I like it, though.
interesting. thanks for the spy report!
And I know this may sound silly but… who is Bruce Spence, Jim Broadbent and Ray Winstone?
Bruce Spence will be playing Lord Rhoop in the upcoming VDT. Jim Broadbent played Professor Digory Kirke in LWW and Ray Winstone voiced Mr. Beaver in LWW.
Ah. I recognize the other two names now.
thanks fantasia_kitty. They names sound slightly familiar now. 🙂
Oh thats who Ray Winstone is.
I don’t know about the other two, but…..you don’t know who Jim Broadbent is?? He played the Professor in LWW!!! (And if you’ve seen Inkheart, he also played the author, Fenoglio).
Way cool! Good luck to all of them and their careers!
I wonderd what William Mosley was up to.
Thank you
Awesome! Sweet! Neat!
*Pokes Narnia Lover* You know who this is. *cough* actually, its spelled S-C-R-E-A-M-S. Hurl Mooo!
Lol you know I don’t care! 😀 My speling’s bad no matter what!
I can tell ("spelling" has two L’s). 😉
Oh! Sorry about that! I was typing fast and didn’t look back through! Sorry! 🙂
are you like friends or something?
That’s okay. It’s not like you’re earning a grade or anything from the comments you post on NarniaWeb. 😉
(And Aravis Tarkheena, I’m betting they’re friends, with the way Josi said "you know who this is"!)
Josi and I are friends. BFFLs actualy. We’re both homeschooled and live 45 minutes away from each other. But I’m a bigge fan of Narnia then Josi is! She only gets on here if there’s something I want her to see! 😀
Go William Moseley!!!!!!!!!
What about Anna Popplwell?
We like Anna too, but we aren’t talking about her because she isn’t in the recent spy report news.
I understand, but I was kind of surprized when I didn’t see her name in the report.
Yes. When will Anna act again? She’s so beautiful! And YES! GO WILLIAM MOSELEY!!!!!!! I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. Ironclad. Sounds like Ironman. I didn’t really like Ironman that much. It was still good though. If this is a movie like Ironman, let William get the main role!!!!!!!!!!1
I have heard of Ironclad(Before Will was signed on to it) and I thought it could be really good, if it had good actors and now it does. Go Will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly want to say that I wish I could of met the Narnia kids, "William Mosley, Anna Popplwell, Skandar Kaynes Georgie Henley, and now WIll pourter.
yeah same here
I think we all agree with you there.
yup the Potter filming is chugging along just fine. it would feel strange to when that franchise comes to an end. it was a permanent event movie, much like the Star Wars movies were over the past 2 decades.
At first I thought they had added a stargazing scene to VODT, I am glad they didn’t. I love hear about other roles they played in other movies.
I like to hear what the other older acters are doing too?
Awesome! Everyone is so busy with their movies! But I can’t believe Warwick Davis is doing to be in Harry Porter. I mean no harm to Harry Porter fans out there but I hate Harry Porter. Great Job Narnia Webbers!
I agree Harry potter is just dumb, its all about witches and wizard, and God tells us not to watch or read or have anything to do with those things.
You mean they mention movies in the Bible? Wow, that’s amazing. What verse is that?
some one straighten bookwyrm out. of course they dont talk about movie in the Bible but they is a verse that says to guard our hearts and minds. Phillipiand maybe, i dont remember. that was disrespectful, bookwyrm
Thanx Scrub.
Um, how was it disrespectful? If you’re going to lecture everyone on your view of the Bible, you’d best actually be prepared to quote chapter and verse the portion of the Bible that you think backs up your claim if you want anyone to take you seriously. And if a mild bit of snark is disrespectful, then calling the Harry Potter books dumb is too.
For those who believe that all Christians — not just them personally — ought to avoid "Harry Potter," please read Romans 14 and recall that on some issues that do not cause personal temptation, Christians can have different views. Some things are clearly evil; "Harry Potter," like meat sacrificed to idols, is not one of them. Please make the main goal honoring God, and unity with your Christian siblings, and not simply try to enforce conformity of your own personal standards.
After you’re done reading Romans 14, you might check out a couple of columns I’ve written about "Harry Potter," Christians, and true and false spiritual discernment.
Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Offense: http://specfaith.ritersbloc.com/2007/02/07/hpandthehbo.aspx .
Harry Potter and the Media Discernment Issue: http://specfaith.ritersbloc.com/2007/02/14/hpandthemdi.aspx .
🙂 Thanks, and remember: for Christians, glorifying God and true unity with Christians who disagree on only disputable matters, is what counts — not conformity of all standards.
Thanx Elwin.
Thank you! I’m Chrstion but I love Harry Potter! But I do try my hardest to make God the senter of my life! 😀
Oh Dr. Elwin Ransom I just realized what your name is from that is so cool! I have yet to finish the first book but the are really cool.
I’m sorry you guys feel that way. While I don’t like Harry Potter myself, I do think it was very well-written and well thought-out (I haven’t seen any movies other than the first one, so I can only say what I know from other people and from reading the first three books).
OMIGOD!!!! WILLIAM HAS TO BE IN IRONCLAD!!!!! HE’S THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO SEE IT<3!!!
Language, watch it.
ditto.
I am a christion, I don’t use language like that
yeah, christian here. just put omigosh or something(sorry if any takes offense to that.)
Yes, please.
Paul Giamatti and Will Moseley in the same movie. This will be great. 🙂
What is the name of the movie again?
Ironclad,
Yeah cool, and Robert Carlyle.
I am a new Fan of Legend of the Seekers. On ProSieben on German Television the first Episode of this Show run last Sunday. Bruce Spence is a talented actor. And Craig Horner – he looks like the twin brother of our favorite Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), doesn’t he? Nice Greetings.
I dont watch Seeker
your right Craig Horner does look a lot like Ben
Do you watch Legend of the Seeker?
Glad you like it! My great uncle is Tarry Goodkind, so I now have relations to Narnia! Craig does look like Ben! I never noteced that! I’ve been watching it since it first began! You can go to http://www.legendoftheseeker.com and see the latest news, pics, and more! 😀
Good for Will the first pevensie retired to hear news from.^^ I was excited when I saw his name, but Anna from her wikipedia page is suppose to be in the next Nanny Mcfee movie.
I wish her well
Fascinating. I’ve been wondering about her. But do you think you could confirm that? I didn’t see it on wikipedia.
I don’t trust Wiki but if she is, it would be funny because Skandar tried out for a role in the first movie and now Anna is in the seccond one. but I don’t trust wiki I trust IMBD
I like Wikipedia, I am using that since I am now in College.
In my opinion, IMDB is probably the most reliable resource when it comes to upcoming movies. Wikipedia is just all the users editing articles and stuff–while it has great information, not very many teachers and other people will accept information from Wikipedia as hard data.
My sister Karen who is a teacher used Wikipedia and she said Wikipedia is great website, plus Some of the students of the local community college that I know of use Wikipedia.
Huh. Almost all of my teachers preach against it. I’m not saying it’s a bad site (I use it as well). I’m just saying that if you were doing a research paper or something a lot of people won’t accept it as a reliable source (or so I’ve been told).
My Mom said it is free ensiclopedia site, (I hope I am saying that right, if you haven checked it out I strongly sagest you do so.
Using Wikipedia for school projects is a really bad idea. Anybody and their brother can edit the articles, which means if it isn’t solidly sourced, you have no proof that what they’re posting is even true.
I wouln’t be so sure about that.
yes, wiki is not a reliable sourse everyone i know never uses it for research. its ok for quick pieces of info though.
I respect your opinion but I disagree.
go narnia!!
I completely understand. All I’m saying is that you would have to be aware of teachers and professors that are okay with you using Wikipedia and those that aren’t.
on acting I trust IMBD, on other stuff wiki is cool
What wouldn’t you be too sure of? It says on Wikipedia’s front page that it can be edited by anyone. What, you actually think everyone who edits the site has nothing but pure and honest intentions? 😛
I just think many people can be misinformed, for instence I have found many sites that say Georgie Henley’s some say july 9 1995, others say July 11 1995, some even say she was born in 1996, so many people an be misinformed so if on of those misinformed people could edit something on wiki, and everyine will see it.
Georgie birthday, sorry about that.
Wait, they’re making a sequel to Nanny McPhee? Huh. That’ll be interesting. What role will Anna be playing?
I don’t know I’ll have to check it again its been such a long time and I will check IMBD. ^^
What is IMBD
What is IMBD. No offence
IMBD is a movie website that we got all this info from and I checked it and other websites and it doesn’t say Anna is in it so sorry for all of you who I let your hopes down, but I’ll keep looking for other things.
FYI, IMDB stands for Internet Movie DataBase. A very good and fairly up-to-date website on officially declared movies-to-be, movies-in-progress, movies-to-come, and everything else. Also it’s a great website if you want to see what an actor is currently working on or has a contract for, as well as everything they’ve ever appeared in. Try looking up "Anna Popplewell" on http://www.imdb.com. It’ll tell you what movies she’s working on.
Imbd is an a site that is movie and acting based.
yo quiero que pongan el poster bien chido y que firma adentro de agua el barco con lo demas actores y asi bye.
Huh
Mark, check the Spanish translators on Google sometime like I do. (Otherwise I would have no idea either, my Spanish is bad.)
"I want to put a poster signing bien chido and water inside the ship with other actors and so bye."
Cool! None of the movies are really something I would check out, though.
I don’t watch movies much, exept anything that has Narnia in them
I’m truly sorry. The world of movies is an expanse of great works of art. If you don’t watch much other than Narnia, I suggest watching at least a few movies made by Walden Media. They’re committed to making classic stories into movies, and have done a fantastic job. On top of that, their movies are very clean and all have a G or PG rating. You’re missing out on a lot.
Whell to be honest I don’t want to see movies that have bad language or bad words, that’s why I don’t go that Often. One of the moives I did see wasn’t done by Waldon Media but another studio was Charlet’s Web. And Dakota Fanning was in the movie.
Good for you. I applaud anyone who prefers to keep the movies they watch as clean as possible. I’m very much like you in that aspect, although I do probably tolerate a little more than you do. But, hey, keep it up!
what is ironclad?
That was also my question
There are two links there. Click on either one of them and they’ll tell you what the movie is about. 😉
can’t wait for The Lightning Theif .. soo excited and good to know that someone off my favorite movies of all time:: Narnia is going to be on there :))))
