A Ton Of New NARNIA Photos Land Online!!

Published at:  Aug 23, 2005 7:05:17 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...



Although there’s one picture here that’s from ELEKTRA for some reason (I’m sure it’s just an accident), the rest of these shots seem to be new. They’re new to me, anyway. I haven’t exactly been scouring the entire Internet daily trying to find NARNIA pictures, but there seem to be some pretty cool ones here, including one of Mr and Mrs Beaver, and another of Aslan, as well as a whole bunch of the White Witch. Check it out!



Hi Harry,

today I got a bunch of fantastic new NARNIA pics ... with Aslan, a Griffon, professor Digory Kirke, Ginarrbrik, Tumnus, etc....

CLICK HERE FOR THE IMAGES!!

Cheers,

Cirdan

    I'm looking forward to this, seeing as i've no LOTR-goodness to tide me over xmas.
    And, yada yada, this came first, that came first...shuddap!
    Simple facts, LOTR has given fantasy film-makers a chance to go out and make their films. Harry Potter answers for this as well.
    Ok, so people have been looking to make these films for a while, before Jackson et al got into LOTR, what difference does it make?
    I'm hoping we just get some good, serious fantasy films that put Krull, Conan the detroyer and Dungeons & dragons to rest.
    For that, eternal thanks to Mr Jackson!

    Try the NarniaWeb.com link

    by sunnybrowneyes

    www.narniaweb.com

    Also has scans of the photos from the German Narnia web site.
    It looks like they are from the WETA workshop featurette. Apparently as soon as LOTR wrapped, they started working on the 80 or so creatures from the narnia series. I can't remember where I saw this but I think it was on HBO or a Directv Freeview. Of course it may have been one of those TIVO commericials tht pops up while fast-forwarding through the commercials. Enjoy.

    Only concern Political Correctness

    by robe

    My only concern about the movie is they will try and turn the two girls into "Xena" warriors. LOTR was going to do the same with Arwen but decided to scrap the idea. I don't have many problems if Susan is forced in self defence to shoot someone with an arrow, but Lucy (an under 10 year old) stabbing someone with her dagger?

    If you're going to complain about someone's almost non-existent racism, how about we clean up this site completely? No one here can be racist and the site says "hate speech" won't be tolerated. Odd how the rampant sexism and homophobia still exist on this site. I suppose it's okay to bash women and gays since we're all straight men, right? Wrong... stop complaining unless EVERY bit of hate speech is removed.

    There was no racism in his comment (it was a terrible joke though). There is no homophobia or sexism on this board...yet. They save that for the Brian Singer talkbacks. So no need to jump the gun just yet, davidlopan (great name! "you are really begining to piss me off!"). Anyway, this movie. Looks pretty good to me. There is only one question that really needs to be asked: Is it faithful to the book and is it a well made film. The look I think is how most people (not all) have in their minds while reading it. Time will tell...

    WETA...

    by bunger

    Given that Weta is doing the Narnia effects, and given that Weta was essentially created to do LOTR, ipso facto LOTR came before this project really got off the ground.

    For that matter, Tolkein wrote the bulk of his stuff before C.S. Lewis wrote his (and was WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better). In every way, Narnia comes after Middle Earth, and let's not be confused about that.

    Robe and LoTR PC

    by aetius450

    If Jackson did decide against making Arwen a super warrior, then it showed good judgment on his part. But he did throw a PC bone with Eowyn's big moment by altering the timing of her "I am no man" proclamation. In the book, she says it before she kills that flying beast and before the Witch King slaps her down. In the movie, he put it after her beat down, so as to make it a I Am Woman Hear Me Roar moment. The difference is significant. Whatever the case, it was an incredibly lame death for the Witch King after the movie had earlier built him up to be some sort of great warrior.

    by specter

    I believe that Father Christmas has Reindeer on his sleigh and The White Witch has Polar Bears because of a few things:

    1) Importing Reindeer to New Zealand was halted when something went wrong.

    2) Both Father Christmas and Jadis having Reindeer could send people into suspicions that they may be in league with one another.

    Di,believe me there are plenty of shitty curry houses in Britain.Just to give a bit of advice,avoid Mr.Woos and Mr.Aus all you can eat Chinese in leicester Square.Urgghhhh!!I never learn.They fill the meals with fat and grease so you can only get through 2 plates.Just for fun...I sat next to a table of French ladies who were arguing over how they were given 2p more in their change!!Wouldn't leave until they accepted the 2p back.How lovely!!If you fancy a fairly decent curry try one on Holloway Road(not a great place to go,generally)called Indian Ocean.Not too pricey.British food is usually cack but nothing in this world,NOTHING is quite so fucking woeful as the chinese 'food' on sale in Camden from street vendors.I've said it before....2 or 3 of my mates and I in '99 had some and within less than 2 minutes we had to run into a pubs toilet and release it from both ends if you get my meaning.We are as a people very good at pub meals but it takes years of learning to know where to go.Try Crouch End for a couple of nice cafes or a couple of expensive but nice pubs in crouch hill.Hampstead is good for roasts.Theres an all you can eat Italian just off Soho but beware it is run by the MR.WU's lot and fucking hell!as soon as you finish your plate its whipped off the table and you're asked if you can move as more people require seats.Advice:evenif you are finished and full,go and fill a plate up to the max and nibble a bit every 10 mins as you try to swallow down their vinegar like wine.Urrgghghh....Narnia?Hmm...can't get over the terrible choice of Neeson as Aslan.Terrible because of talent?No,not at all.Neeson's voice has gotten quite refreshingly relaxed as he has gotten older.But the lack of imagination....Need a mentor?Get Neeson!!jesus,try something riskier and then bathe in the glory when everyone thinks 'god,what a great decision.I would never have thought...".e.g.McKellan as Gandalf.Now inseperable from the character for many.

    Yep, that is going to sound ridiculous, although the unintentional humor will be lost on the kiddies. As for British food, yikes. I don't know how you guys eat that stuff. I've done a fair bit of traveling, and I live in New York where we have cuisine from virtually everywhere. Having tried most of them, I think I can speak with some authority when I say of British cuisine . . . oh my god, it's horrible. Sure it's a stereotype, but that stereotype exists for a reason. And lest you think I'm just some jingoist, Americam cuisine is far from my favorite. I'll take Italian (really, Tuscan) cuisine any day.

    I Like Greek Food

    by diana rules!

    As far as personal preferences go. You certainly won't starve if you visit Britain, as there are many types of food to choose from. When I travel to a new country, I like to try the local cuisine first. I gave England about a week before my stomach couldn't take it any more. Scotland I gave three days. If anything, the scots are worse than the english. Maybe that's why they're so pale.

  • Maybe I should move to New York and open a proper english establishment, you all need educating I think........and just before anyone else rips into British Cuisine remember where Morgan Spurlock made Supersize Me......not fucking England thats for sure...oh and the best Restaurant in the world ( as voted by international restaurant magazine )is The fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, England....and if you want good traditional english food of real quality go to the Ivy and have their shepherds pie....Wicked....And Wolf, lighten up man, it's only a talkback on a poxy Narnia film......so Priapic are you an organic man??

    Doglips, I'd Be Willing To Give English Food Another Shot

    As emphatic as you are, perhaps I was steered wrong. My next visit I will follow up on all the recommendations here. I would be happy to alter my views. As to complaints about non Narnia posts, it's not as though people are tearing up this thread with excitement. The 10 people who actually care have posted already.

    Much as I ADORE Tilda Swinton

    whop has to be one of the most remarkable-looking women working in film today; the alien eyes, the teeth slightly parted in a fatuously glazed smile, hwe cpstume looks a bit busy for me. The knotted dreadlocks are a bit overstyled and the icicles hammered into her head kind of clash. The fur coat over cocktail dress doesn't really gel, either, she looks like Rita Hayworth after a long night drinking gin. i'd have liked something a bit more vertical; tailored and constrictive, perhaps no hair at all and her skin dusted with frost, a bit like the Kruger woman in that Star Trek movie. She should look like an icicle from head to toe, she looks a bit too vibrant and pretty here.

    ..although I have tried the odd Holland & Barrett weird tea!!I'm from Scot blood and English upbringing so I'm a massive Sunday Roast,gravy and roast 'taters man.Living in Prague tested me to my limits,those people are meat-lovers extraordinaires!!I must admit to trying the Ivy just the once as a friend 'in the know' got me on the list.It was,I think,'98 or '99 and Cate Blanchett was sat close by.I think.The food was indeed very good but the feeling of 'watch yer p's and q's ' kind of disoriented this callow chap.Definately a place for a quiet chat I thought,but I was with very animated film students!!I still can't work out from the posts above what generally is thought of as 'eating english'.As an Englishchap Id regard a sunday roast,fish and chips or...god help us,but its true...a greasy spoon.Upper class restaurants notwithstanding...they're hardly a true representation of how we eat.Oh,and you're right about Spurlock....but Wendy's is very tasty........little misunderstanding on my first trip to the states,circa '92 in Lawrence,Kansas.....I was up early and wanted a cup of tea.Went to a nearby McD's and asked for "1 tea,please" she went to get it,came back and asked for her bucks and I said "do you have any sugar and milk?" and the LOOK I got.THE LOOK!!!Like I had just flopped my cock on the table!!!She went and got some for me...still eyeballing me like I was covered in shit or something!Then I got my tea..Christ,this is a big one I thought(I was dreadfully hung over),sat down and realised the thick cow had given me Iced Tea.....I sat there in my typical English way...and didn't complain......very different from the beauty who wouldn't stop refilling my coffee in New York!!I don't eat anything at McD's now.I refuse.Not cos of Spurlock,it's just the knowledge of what their studo employees do to the food that put me off(I lived in a flat with students girls who all worked at McD's on Holloway Road!Then again 2 of them were scousers.Not that Im knocking the scouse but...well,I guess they really DO do things differently up north!)

  • I tried to elbow Caprice in the head as I walked past, alas to no avail.....It is very good however.....Le Caprice is not.......The Peoples Palace at the Royal Festival Hall serves a good set sunday menu, nothing special but good value for London and the staff are excellent, as does The Globe Cafe and Restaurant...... Real English food is almost long forgotten....Richard Corrigan is a great supporter, I have not yet eaten at his place but look forward to doing so, If you are partial to offal he's your man.....if you cannot get to the Fat Duck go to Heston's pub instead ( it's next to the restaurant ) The steak with three times cooked chips and marrow is AMAZING! and you will not fail on a roast their either...it's also a lot cheaper than the Fat Duck....My Wife is a full Eco - Warrior so it's always organic....Once you have a decent organic sausage it's hard to go back to anything else...Apologies to any other Narnia buffs I'll try and stay on topic now...........Slow cooked Tumnus does sound good though don't it.....With lashings of Blood thickened gravy mmmmm.....

    ..its like that 80's song "I think we're alone now" by Tiffany!!I will try to go with your rec's but I may be pissing off to China(Hangzhou) or Poland(Warsaw) late september an therefore my guts will need to be ready for the whole world to fall out of my ass!!To get back on subject...Narnia doesnt quite seem to be revving the fans up judging by this talkback...hmm...my spidey-shit-sense for flix sweems to be good..I'm off to watch STEALTH!!!back later,probably on the Star wars fan film talkback....PEACE+LUV!!
