Huge Dawn Treader Banner at Cannes
Collider.com has posted a HUGE picture of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader banner at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. (Click here for the full sized image.)
Dawn Treader Banner at Cannes Film Festival
The banner features Caspian, Reepicheep, and Aslan on the left side, and Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace on the right. Unfortunately Eustace is pretty hard to make out, but the rest of the banner makes up for it. Hopefully we’ll get some more pictures of it later today that will have a better angle.
Thanks to Johnny T, matt, and Jacquelyn for the heads-up!
UPDATE: Overnight, we received spy reports from Johnny T, CaspianX, and AJAiken with a link to additional pictures of the banner. EmpireOnline.com has posted pictures of the side panels and the ship has indeed made it on to the banner! You can view the story here.
Thanks for the heads-up!

UPDATE 2: More Dawn Treader marquee pics from RopeofSilicon can be seen here.
I think Rhindon is photoshopped into Edmund's hand. Something about the shading and the size difference between grip and blade seems off to me. I think Rhindon in general has a wider blade too…that or Skandar has really big hands.
Holy crap! they made georgie look 20 years old instead of like….14
Whoa! That's amazing! Voyage is going to be sooo epic, I wish it was coming out sooner! AHHH!
Okay, my note on the Rhindon discussions. I compared a picture of Rhindon to it, and I'm 99% sure that Edmund has Rhindon. (The lion head looks VERY similar. I think Rhindon might have a wider blade, but I may be mistaken by the weird angle in the VDT poster.)
Also, he IS holding it by the blade, which sounds to me like proof that the picture was Photoshopped.
Am with you on Rhindon having a wider blade! I also feel like that's not even a prop sword, looks like they replaced something else Edmund was holding with Rhindon just to have Rhindon in the banner.
i think they could have done a little better on all three of the kids' faces. Lucy looks, um…a bit scary with her serious glare (no offense, she's also very pretty, i just dont like the super serious look on her face). i think they could have gotten a better angle of Eustace, cuz it kinda makes him look babyish in the banner with his squinting eyes and scowling face (although i suppose thats how Eustace should look like in the beginning, you know 🙂 ). Edmund's pic isnt so bad, but it just looks funny with his squinting eyes and open mouth, looking up, and the weird angle he's holding the sword in. but hey, i still absolutely love it cuz its Narnia! thats never gonna change 😀
totally agree with that. i mean, who holds a sword like that? its a very strange way to hold a sword, and it just might be possible he had been holding something else in that pic and they just switched it out to put Rhindon in there. i say, if you're gonna do that, you should at least make it realistic so the audience can believe it, not to mention enjoy it all the more. i would think holding a sword by the blade, especially at the angle in the poster, would be kinda painful, you know?
You sure? There's a lions head and some words or jibber-ish written on it- looks like Peter's sword. :-s
Has anyone else noticed Edmund's hair is WET? My guess is that this was photoshopped, and that originally Edmund was holding onto a pole in the storm (remember the storm?).
lol ya i kno! Lucy looks alot different too! 🙂 I am excited tho..yay! I am happy that we have been getting alot of pictures lately! thank you thank you thank you!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 hehe 😉
Great! but what happen to Lucy's eyes?? it's look weird
Yes it is Rhindon Ariel. it the pommel is a Aslan’s head. the the the gold bands around the hilt.
lol!! ya, totally agree! He looks dashing! 😀 hehe 😉
haha…wait a ponytail? I didn't see that one! lol
Having seen the footage, I can assure you that Lucy still looks like Lucy, just a little older, without being too "womanly". You can really see her older sister in her now (the one who played grown-up Lucy in LWW). Anyway, don't worry…Georgie will be wonderful as always. 😀 <><
Remember, all the kids do get older in the books. Lucy changes age as the books progress. I don't mind them looking a little older, just so long as their personalities don't change. 🙂
I'm a major Narnia freak, but to be honest, I wouldn't know Rhindon from any other sword. And since Edmund would now technically be the only old king of Narnia, it doesn't seem all that unnatural for him to take it up where his brother left off.
Honestly, I don't remember it ever being important in the books.
she does NOT look 20! You're nuts! Let's throw you at the Telmarines, LOL. Just kidding-but seriously, she does NOT LOOK 20 AT ALL!
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now…all that needs to happen is for the trailer to come out!!!
Personally I think they made Lucy look a little too grown up and dramatic and Ariel_of_Narnia I think you have made your point. We will just have to wait for the trailer and/or movie to understand what sword he has and why.
If any besides Peter uses Rhindon, it should be Edmund not Caspian. I'm not sure I want anyone else but Peter using Rhindon. However, Edmund is Peter's brother and I'm sure he'd rather Ed use his sword than get killed in battle.
Well although she’s only supposed to be ten in the book (she looks much older than ten) when in Narnia she grew into an adult then returned to being a child which means she should look a little older in Narnia because those years are sort of catching up with her again.
Something, like a plastic surgery, or face surgery. They can do anything with make-up nowadays. I remember seeing a Legolas poster, and I noticed he had excess make up, that made his face look xtra shiny. Ooh, I see The Dawn T. there next to Caspian.
lol took me a while to work out it was lucy. lol, i was like who the hecks that?.
I am positive that it is Rhindon! it looks exactly like it and since Peter gave Caspian his sword in the end of PC, Caspian probably has it on board as one of the great Narnian treasures (like Lucy's cordial)! 😀
I am quite sure that Ed has Rhindon – at least in that picture. I'm also pretty sure he has it in some of the spy photos, too. His other sword has a much different-looking pommel.
It DOES have a handguard, it is just hard to see.
To me, that is almost unmistakably Rhindon. Maybe if I look at it forty-six more times it will turn out that it's not. But I'm pretty sure it is.
ditto to all of it! 🙂
yeah but don't you mean "Eragon"??? yeah I have never seen lotr, but i think either way narnia is better! potc is really cool too!
i just realized that edmunds holding a sword. i thought it was like a pole on the ship(what r those called again?)just found out there was a dragon on that banner.
Ed's holding Rhindon.
Looking at it very closely (for the millionth time!), I think the sword is Rhindon, but I don't know that it's Edmund's arm that is holding it. It certainly isn't from the picture of Edmund on the poster. The arm is coming from the front of the poster, not the back, where Edmund is (I know I'm talking like the poster is 3-D, but that's how it would be if the poster was 3-D). Anyway, I'd be totally more in favor of Edmund using Rhindon than Caspian or (a most terrible thought!) Rhindon being put in storage! Well, anyway, due to a picture we've seen earlier, we do know that Rhindon will be in the movie, no matter who uses it.
Okay, here's my two cents' worth about Ed and Rhindon. The sword is DEFINATELY NOT Edmund's sword from the first two movies. Due to the fact that the only sword in the first two movies with a lion's head on the pommel is Rhindon and Peter gave Rhindon to Caspian it stands to reason that it could be Rhindon. Also, Caspian seems a bit unsure what to do when Peter gives it to him in PC. Maybe he thought it better to let Ed use it while he was there??
Also, the way Ed is holding it wouldn't hurt. He's got armor on his hand for one thing, and swords usually aren't very sharp (if they're sharp at all) that close the the hilt. Also, in movies, when someone holds a sword with their arm in that position, they almost always hold it right below the hilt like Ed is doing.
I like Ed having Rhindon, too. 🙂
Aaaaaaaugh! Now I want to see it even more!!! Christmas is so far away!!!
that "pole" would be a mast….lol
I was determined to not get excited about anything for VDT until I saw the film…but that went straight out the window when I saw these pics! I'm freakin' excited now! Go Narnia! WOOOOOO!!!!
It only looks that way because much of the setting of the movie beats Pirates of the Carribean in my eyes by a landslide lol. But it will definetly be a new look for the actors compared to being in armor and in a battle of some sort like the last 2 movies.
me too 🙂
lol yeah….haha
WHOOHOOO! That looks so majorly awesome!! Edmond looks cool but a little weird, I just can't put my finger on it.
…Woe. is that georgie?? skandar looks cool but she looks different!
Ed wins? I like this very much. =]
Smashing!! lol 😀
Me either, I'll have to look for that 🙂
Lucy looks so much older now. Can't wait to see the film!
The whole sword thing looks weird to me. It's such an odd pose that I really can't tell who is holding the sword, much less if the sword is Rhindon. At first I thought Lucy was holding the sword, because it didn't seem to match up to Edmund's pose. *shrugs*
Georgie = scary?! I like the way she looks on the banner. It's a classic, serious pose.
Skandar: hmm. Wet hair and a sword. I wish his pose were similar to Georgie's. lol
Ben: I like. 😀
Everybody: what is with some of you on Georgie in the banner? Her hair is back in a ponytail, that's all. Don't you remember the still from one of the official VDT blogs? Georgie on the ship deck with her in a ponytail? And let's not forget some of the filming pics from spy reports!
I really like it. Looks awesome. Caspian looks older actually like him with a goatee and Ed is as hot as ever. 😉 Lucy looks beautiful. and Eustace (don't know the actor) looks like a brat just the way he should. So all's right in my universe. Now if they can break out the trailers…
Georgie is all grown up! Hardly recognized her! 😀 CANT WAIT! (TRAILER TO COME SOON..HOPING! hehehe)
I don't mind the ponytail so much. I mean, it could be worse…he could have braids like Legolas. 😉
Wow! Lucy looks so much older on the poster. I saw some pictures recent pictures of her and she did not look at all like the picture on the poster. Anyway, I cannot wait for the trailer!!!
"Will Poulter seems perfectly cast as their awful cousin, Eustace (although with a name like Eustace, the poor kid has some reason to act out)."
XD
Um I thought the book said, like, three years, NAWT eight. Wouldn't eight years be a bit…erm…much? Just sayin'.
@ hope in the lord:
ditto! And I REALLY can't wait for the trailer!! 😀 😀 😀 haha 😉
lol! ya, but legolas is supposed to be that angelic type. haha…Caspian should be a strong masculine kinda guy lol
Reepicheep, Knight of Narnia, you're right, the way he (or whoever) is holding it is really weird. *scratches head and raises one eyebrow* But pics on movie posters and such have a habit of looking funny.
Ed DOES have Rhindon, unless it's another sword that looks EXACTLY like Rhindon.
Well, Georgie IS fourteen years old now. 🙂 It makes sense that she looks older.
