Transcript:

Lucy and Edmund walk into the Scrubb’s house. Harold is reading the paper.
Lucy: We’re home!

Lucy and Edmund are in Lucy’s bedroom. Lucy’s looking into a mirror.
Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before?
Lucy: It’s very Narnian isn’t it?
Eustace walks into the room.
Eustace: What’s going on here?
Lucy: Edmund the painting!
Eustace runs to tear the painting from the wall.
Edmund: No Eustace no!

The bedroom fills with water and all three swim to the surface. As Lucy arrives at the top, she sees the Dawn Treader approaching.
Lucy: Edmund!
Caspian and Lucy are pulled from the water.
Everyone now aboard the deck, Caspian addresses his crew.
Caspian: Behold our castaways, King and Queen of Narnia.
The crew kneels before them.
Lucy: Reepicheep!
Reepicheep: Your majesties!

Eustace throwing a temper tantrum screams at the crew as they stand around smirking.
Eustace: Where in the blazes am I?
Tavros the Minotaur: You’re on the Dawn Treader.
Eustace takes one look at the minotaur and faints. The crew laughs.
Tavros to Rynelf: Was it something I said?

FROM C.S. LEWIS’S EPIC MASTERPIECE

Caspian, Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, and Reepicheep sail through the sea of lilies where they arrive on the shore before the edge of the world. A giant wave is in the background as they greet Aslan.
Lucy: Aslan.
Aslan: You have come far. Your adventure begins now.

A water nymph leaps out of the water in front of the ship.

Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy look up into the sky as a brilliant blue light descends upon them.
Lucy: Look!
The light transforms into Lilliandril.
Lilliandril: Travelers of Narnia, I am your guide.
Caspian: You are most beautiful.
Lilliandril: If it is a distraction for you, I-I can change forms.
Caspian and Edmund: No!
Caspian and Edmund look at each other. Lucy looks at them and rolls her eyes.

Coriakin throws a map across the room in his library.
Coriakin: There is the source of your trouble.
The white witch appears as a phantom in green smoke.
Edmund: You mean a witch?
Coriakin walks around looking at Edmund.
Coriakin: Something far more powerful than a witch.
Green smoke crawls down the stairs and seeps into the room.
Coriakin: It can steal the light from this world.
Lucy: How do we stop it?
Coriakin points at Edmund.
Coriakin: That sword you carry must be laid at Aslan’s table.
Shot of Edmund drawing a sword in a cave.
Shot of everyone walking around Aslan’s table. A great feast sits on it.
Coriakin: Only then can their true power be released.
Seven swords sit on Aslan’s table. They glow blue and then a great beam of light shoots up into the air.
Coriakin: You are all about to be tested.

The Dawn Treader approaches the Dark Island.
Green smoke crawls onto the ship.
The White Witch: Edmund, come with me. I can make you my king, and much more.
The White Witch reaches out to Edmund.
The White Witch: My King.
Lucy: NOO!!!
Caspian: EDMUND!
The sword Edmund is holding glows blue.

Reepicheep soaking wet in a rainstorm clings to the ship.
Reepicheep: Onward to our destiny!

Drinian, Tavros, and Edmund stand at the helm of the Dawn Treader.
Tavros: What do you think is in there?
Sailors row boats towards Ramandu’s Island.
Someone (Drinian or Rynelf?): Things you can barely imagine.

Lucy walks through a doorway and as it closes becomes invisible on the island.

Shot of the Dawn Treader from above with Drinian at the helm and the crew standing around.

Shot of Lilliandril.
Lilliandril: The fate of Narnia depends on you.
Lilliandril turns back into a star and shoots up into the air.

Lucy looks down at a book with a bunch of jumbled letters. Blowing the dust off, it turns into The Book of Incantations. Lucy smiles. The book is opened and pages are turning rapidly. Lucy slams her hand down on the book. The next moment it is snowing and Lucy looks around smiling.

Dragon Eustace flies overhead.

Caspian addressing the crew. The crew shouts “For Narnia!”

Caspian and the others battle the slavers in the bell tower.

Dragon Eustace flies over the volcanic island below.

The sea serpent erupts out of the ocean. The Dawn Treader lists to one side and the crew falls backwards. The sea serpent roars. Lucy aims an arrow.

Dragon Eustace flies over the Dawn Treader. One of the fauns does a somersault across the deck.

Eustace is surrounded by jumping Dufflepuds.

Reepicheep climbs the mast of the Dawn Treader and looks out from the crows nest and smiles.

Lucy, surrounded by Caspian, Edmund, Eustace and Aslan, kneels down to say goodbye to Reepicheep.

The sea serpent goes to attack Eustace as a dragon, and Eustace breaths fire back at the sea serpent.

Aslan roars.

Final credits.

Thanks adamie for the alert!

    I don't like the whole "dark magic" theme of this trailer, but that's okay because it's just a trailer. The CGI is a little better, and I guess it'll be adequate in the movie. And of course I don't like all the changes they've made, but I was prepared for them. So…

    I guess it'll be all right. But I want to see more! There's so much they DIDN'T show, like parts at Narrowhaven, more of the Dufflepuds, and Goldwater Island. So I'm really reserving judgment until I can see more. Can't wait for the movie! 🙂

  2. Crypted98 says:

    Wow! I think WM did a much better job on this trailer as opposed to their last one. I liked seeing Eustace as a dragon and seeing the sea serpant!

  3. Reep14 says:

    i got chills when it showed the Dawn Treader

  4. Annabeth says:

    *squeals with delight* I am SOOOOOO excited! This is so cool! although I felt like puking when I saw the white witch….
    Eustace looks HALARIOUS! Lucy looks really grown up, which kind of surprised me, because I thought she looked about the same in the other trailer. And as for Caspian…..what is with the beard thing-y?! Could his hair get any longer OR greasier? It looks like he hasn't taken a shower since the last film! LOL, all the same, I'm still really excited! 🙂
    Can't wait for the Dec. 10th!!!!!

  5. Annabeth says:

    couldn't have put it better myself 🙂

  6. Annabeth says:

    remember, every year Lucy grows, so does Aslan. 😉

  7. Yellow Peril says:

    A great improvement from the last trailer so I am much happier. I like the LWW trailer music, but recycling it for VDT seems like another attempt to go back to LWW (think of the new poster).

  8. aragorn2 says:

    The reason we wish it was like the book is because they call it the Voyage of the Dawn Treader

  9. Thyservant says:

    LWW, Betrayal & Redemption & Resurrection; PC, By Flesh & By Faith; VDT, Temptation & Sanctification; SC, Rebellion & Submission; MN, Creation & the Fall; HHB, Watching & Disciplining; LB, Judgement and Eternity. If every Narnia film can hold on to the theme of its book, I really don't mind those plot changings. They can make Narnia films live on such unique theological ideas; they will survive and so will the series. High hope for VDT to sail well in the cinema, in the boxoffice and in the heart and soul of those who see.

  10. Starlily says:

    Okay, so I watched the trailer again by myself this morning…and now I'm really excited. 🙂 Even if there are some major annoying changes, there will still be good parts. Maybe it was the trailer music that got me excited. I love "Here Comes the King"–it sounds so epic. 🙂 Can't wait to hear some of Arnold's music from the movie.

  11. Rolacola says:

    Why hasn't anyone mentioned the really lame effects with the 'book on incantation' ? They didn't use the effect on the second trailer which I was pleased with but it looks like they've made it look ever worse AGAIN.
    I actually hate the people who have marketed this movie, they seem to be completely spoiling the whole feel of the previous movies.
    Also, why hasn't anyone mentioned that they've used the 'Return of the King' from the LWW trailer?
    I hope they really didn't do it to get the audience who liked LWW back. I expected to have at least a little bit of David Arnolds soundtrack on the trailer. BUT NO.

    Is it fox or Walden Media who're marketing this movie?
    Because I want to write a very angry letter to them, and advise them to hire me so I can make decisions for the next movie, unless they just want to completely spoil this franchise.

    *crawls back into hole*

  12. georgiefan1 says:

    A-MA-ZING!!!!!!!!!

  13. : )Narnia says:

    This trailer is much better than the first one in my opinion. I think the visual are much clearer and well made. Good job on all the water effects!

  14. Komali says:

    GOOD

  15. LazH says:

    haha 00:30-00:33- the guy with the curly hair is the one who didn't look like he appreciated me filming him from behind the barrier when I went to the set! Hey, anyone who cares (in the credits) look out for either a telmarine called herman or an actor who plays one of the telmarine crew called herman because I spoke to him and he is the WEIRDEST guy ever.

  16. LazH says:

    that's what I thought as well. The animatronic one in LWW looked real and the PC one looked decent but this one…

  17. NarniaLuver4Ever says:

    I thought I was the only who laughed… Hahaha 🙂

  18. Starlily says:

    What does he look like? Poor guy, I hope he isn't reading this!

  19. The Archenlander says:

    well then y make the movie? we already have an image in our heads. that would make it boring if it were exactly the same. i love the narnia books. and i love the movies equally.

  20. i like the transcript but i don't understand the trailer…English please? i don't mean to be rude…..sorry?

  21. Zoe says:

    silent warrior:
    The trailer is in English. Only the subtitles are Polish.

  22. DJ says:

    Actually, Tauriel, as someone who has written for the stage and studied creative writing, I've seen plenty of "adaptations" that were poorly done. It's true they can't be exactly the same, but when a screenwriter completely redoes a story for commercial reasons and strays from the central themes of a book (in effect "dumbing it down"), he betrays the author, the audience, and the art, and no one benefits but a few Hollywood moguls whose profits are based on the first-weekend box office numbers. I'm going to do my best to suspend judgment until I've seen the movie, but right now I'm concerned. An episodic story works when the film emphasizes the personal journey. I'd be fine with that and even with some rearranging of events, but the "magic swords" plot has me concerned. Writing an entirely new story with events from the book has never left me satisfied. But I suppose until I'm writing film adaptations myself I never will be.

  23. Queen Aravis says:

    I think your username is the best thin ever, Sparky, or should I say AREM.:)

  24. Queen Aravis says:

    lol My roommate walked in when I was watching the trailer and I paused it on this shot. She caught sight of my computer screen in mid conversation and was like, "What in the world are you watching?!"

  25. Duffleglum says:

    you mean BEST!!

    By far the most reassuring trailer of how good the movie shall be… I NOW am officially hyped!

  26. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    Advice for all who complained about the posters… WATCH THE PREVIEW AND FORGET THE POSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll brighten your outlook on the whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    I don't know, Kris, Eustace looked seriously traumatized to me… =)

  28. StephanieTheFaithful says:

    I take back everything I said last week……

  29. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    AMEN!!!!!!!

  30. Bookwyrm says:

    I really don't get why they've switched to CGI minotaurs. The guys in suits looked fantastic in LWW, so why go with something subpar this far into the franchise? :S

  31. Bookwyrm says:

    I kind of seem to remember there being an overarching plot along with several subplots. But apparently if the fate of all Narnia isn't at stake, the ADHD kiddies won't be entertained.

  32. Bookwyrm says:

    Childish? Really? All I did was quote you and change some words. Guess that means your comment was childish too.

    Why even make a movie based on a book if you aren't going to follow the book's plot? Why not just make an original movie with new characters and settings?

  33. atsahS says:

    well this is the opposite of encouraging

  34. Lyle says:

    WOW!!! Now, this is a trailer! I am finally excited! Love the sea serpent/Eustace fight 😉

  35. Lirimaer_senshi says:

    Ok, now I'm truly exited about this movie. The only thing that makes me concerned is the whole seven swords thing.

  36. Narniapinoy says:

    LOL! @Bookwyrm You prove me right! HAHAHA!

  37. Not Of This World says:

    It dosen't concern me nearly enough as before i saw the trailer.

  38. Cynical Narnia Fanboy says:

    Yeah, it's going to be great!!
    I see a bit of the original illustrations in DragonEustace, and the seaserpent is AMAZING! Just like I imagined it

  39. Ted C says:

    No one remembers.

  40. sailor says:

    He may well be. Certainly people who know him are. He played one of the crew of the DT,
    as such he is a background actor (Extra) although I would argue all the crew are "Featured extras" ..as such unlikely to get a credit. Please remember you are talking about real people and they DO read Narniaweb and narniafans sites

  41. Ted C says:

    Wow. I think they took my favorite book and made it into what looks like a fantastic movie.

  42. sailor says:

    These are guys in suits. Believe me "On set" they lookes real enough.
    I don't think they look plastic at all … maybe we just need to see more of them.
    They were not CGI'd though. Real guys working in very hot suits.

  43. Music From The Heart says:

    BAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been so excited watching a trailer, in my life. This is epic. And I am stoked. The visuals are amazing, and I feel so much better about the score as well. I love Eustace's reaction to the minotaur….that is hysterical! 🙂
    My only concern is how much they derived from the original storyline, but hopefully it won't be as overwhelming when you watch the entire movie in its finality. Kudos to the producer of this commercial, it was a success!

  44. Fire Fairy says:

    Okay, I am way excited now!! I'm still concerned about the white witch and the whole "darkness" thing, but seeing the trailer almost makes me forget about it altogether! I just had to send it to all of my friends…. This trailer is ten, no, twenty times better than the first!!! For Narnia and for Aslan!!!!!

  45. wolfloversk says:

    Well the taglines were in polish too, but they posted the english version

  46. wolfloversk says:

    But the original reason for the voyage in the movie is too find the seven lords. If I recall correctly it even said in the screenings report that Caspian, promised Aslan he'd find the missing lords. I'm pretty confident it's a sub-plot, not a plot. (Oh the irony, first trailer I complained that DI wasn't dark enough, now I complain that it's too dark- tell me which is worse?) Besides besides the seven swords everything else is tied directly or really close to directly to the book

  47. Reepicheep says:

    This trailer is truly the best of them all. It's time other Narnia fans stopped being skeptical for nitty-gritty things like Eustace stealing oranges rather than water and embrace the film for how amazing it will be!

  48. Puddleglum says:

    My good mouse. There is no question that the trailer is exellent. But for purists, there is still the worry of just how far from the original story the movie drifts. Little things are forgivable,(water, or oranges), but I must admit to some trepidation about how much this "sword quest" will overshadow the rest of the story.

  49. always narnian says:

    I agree. I am not very happy with this at all. First of all, why people wanted Narnia to be made into movies was because of the books. Can't people understand WHY some of us our upset? Because we wanted to see the books, not THIS!

  50. always narnian says:

    The point is…people wanted Narnia to be made into movies because of the books. So why not follow the books? See what happend with LWW and PC? PC pretty much failed because the plot was sabotaged, LWW did better- and it followed the book better…

  51. pickle says:

    That's exactly what I was thinking. There's nothing remotely like that in the book. I'm a little bit worried, but the trailer was altogether EPIC. 😀

  52. always narnian says:

    I agree…That's what I was like…If it wasn't for the books, I may like the movie. But guess what? I'm a loyal book fan in this…=( C.S. Lewis created Narnia, and they're ruining it 🙁

  53. always narnian says:

    =D =D YEP YEP YEP..I agree

  54. Bookwyrm says:

    I've yet to see anyone throw a hissy fit over the oranges. If they're that anal, they need help. And as for it being "amazing", I've yet to see anything even close to the word.

  55. StevoBaggins says:

    I am now officially worried. What's with this "much more powerful than a witch" and "The sword must be laid on Aslan's table" and "I am your guide"? There's nothing like that in the book. I'm afraid that if they go too far from the book, as they did with Prince Caspian and they appear to be doing with this, it will flop in the box office and they won't adapt the rest of the series. Please, no! Adapt the book! No extra plot lines! The changes are one reason Prince Caspian didn't do so well. I seriously hope it isn't as far from the book as it looks.

  56. StevoBaggins says:

    (although I do agree with some previous posters and can deal with minor plot changes…it's just when they add a whole extra quest that shouldn't be there, where I get worried)

  57. Bookwyrm says:

    Prove what right?

  58. Puddleglum says:

    Please, refrane from the references to human anatomy.

  59. Aunt Letty says:

    So many of you are thrilled with the trailer, that I have to say that the creative team must know what they're doing. Like it or not, the goal IS to make a lot of money off this movie. Even many of the narniawebbers were saying that just that a few months ago; hoping DT would make big box-office numbers so that the whole series would be filmed.

    It's looking more and more like this film ought to have a title of it's own, to distinguish it from the book.

    Luckily, my favoritest of the seven books, H&B, is probably the most liable to a straightforward film translation.

    Well, OK, my REAL favorite is LB. But I just don't want to even contemplate what might happen to that one in the hands of Movieland people.

    Really, I think the movie creatives do better with sort of "shallow" books that they can add a bit of depth to, rather than trying to leave their buoy-markers in the deeper waters. The effect tends mostly to be just silly. Or maybe it's just that they leave their serious brains at home when they go to work on a "family" film?

  60. alto58 says:

    PLOT CHANGES = FAIL Adding the witch, really? I guess a story of self-discovery, temptation, and grace with heroic characters isn't enough for the hyper 3D generation. if they cut Eustice as the dragon or Aslan taking off his skin… >;( *already crying for Reepicheep in his little boat*
