The New PRINCE CASPIAN Trailer Is Now Online!!
Merrick here...
There's a new CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN trailer online.
This one's heavy on effects/action and light on nearly anything else...presumably to appease "the first film was boring" crowd (of which I am a part).
SEE IT HERE!!!

if im gonna see this.....with Iron Man, Speed Racer and Indy in the same month
-
Or maybe not. I don't see how this one will be much improved over the first one, they do have the same child actors after all. They are not awful I guess, but merely average.
-
The Lion, Hillary Clinton and The Wardrobe was an absolute forgetable movie with less a than stellar adaptation an "meh" cgi. This one looks like a lot of the same shit. And how bout Hollywood? They FUCKING LOVE CGI BIRDS!!!
-
This. Is. Fucking. Boring.
-
and it looks better than that Spy Kids 4 that is Speed Racer. But, Iron Man and Indy are definately top priority.

All right, get it over with, kick out the Shrekmaker...
by stalin vs predator
...and get del Toro or another competent director for the Dawn Treader and the Silver Chair already.
-
...is about to change..."
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! this does look good but god i hate that line. -
is definitely someone with ADD who should probably be dosing a bit more Ritalin.
-
Bah! What was that? Like 3 FPS? Bleah.
-
Fine, call me a fanboy all you want, but this one's gonna rock.
-
to open this in May, should have gone for August or even late November. This will land with a thud... to much competition, not enough hype or love for this sequel. Indy will destroy all comers.
-
show us REEP!
-
Whatever some people may think, the Narnia books are perfect for the big screen and home library. I'm looking forward to it and this trailer shows they are listening to the fans. I wish more studios would listen to their fans. Maybe then we would see more improvements.
-
Still, if Dark Knight proves to be skewed for a much older crowd (my 12 year old is still unsure about it, and he's a huge Batman fan), and Indy is sold out...families will still go see this. I do think it would've performed better in November.
-
I'll be seeing this with the whole fam bam, nieces and all.Narnia 1 was cool, if a little light. This one looks to take that world and push it up a level.A perfect film to bridge Iron Man and Indy IV, for me.And I'll not be seeing that ghey Speed Racer nonsense, lest somebody buys me an IMAX ticket and I have nothing better to do that weekend.
-
Those are some of the best special effects I've seen in a trailer so far this year. Better than Ironmand and Hulk.
-
the first film was absolutely dire. I will not be wasting my money on this one either. The bit where the french guy say,"I am prince caspian" makes my skin crawl..!
-
I like.
-
Prince Caspian - via a poll on Moviefone.com - is the third most anticipated summer movie(falling only to Indy4 and Dark Knight) with Iron Man coming in a very distant fourth w/ around 7-8% of the votes
-
I think people will be surprised at how big of a hit it will be. I'm betting 75-80 mil opening weekend.Speed Racer, my favorite thing to trash for the moment, will be a surprise bomb.
-
That may be so, but I have a hard time thinking it will come near to touching the $290 mil domestic BO that the first did releasing on this date. It feels squezzed in, but truth is I'm not 6-14 yrs old. I think December is a great place for this type of film... just saying.
-
...that's shamelessly ripping off Return of the King.
-
...get over it. This isn't YOUR movie series. This is something for families. This is something for fans of the books. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was a GREAT movie for dads like me who can't share Lord of the Rings with their young ones yet.
If you don't like this, then I've got a note for you: DON'T GO SEE IT.
Sheesh. -
While I some issues with PJ's version of LOTR, watching the first Narnia and these trailers makes me appreciate the what Jackson was able to do with Tolkien's masterpiece. Middle Earth's peoples were believable and its places looked lived in. Narnia, on the otherhand, with its neatly mowed battlefields, swept battlements, stereotypical dwarves played by dwarves, etc. looks so bland, textbook and plastic by comparison.
-
I totally agree. It's not going to be LOTR but it's not aimed at that group either. If I were 10, this would be the best thing that ever happened to me.
-
with some Christian Church groups as they all walk in together to see this movie. Fuck you.
-
Nice language, UH. It's really surprising that you can't seem to enjoy these movies.
-
thats like the tagline for every fuckin movie trailer. ever.
-
i'd still prefer LOTR, i'm so glad i wasn never limited to what i could watch or go see. well ok i was somewhat limited for what i could see cuz of ratings but other than that, free reign...yay movies.
-
The tagline is made far worse by the fact that Aslan's voice is offscreen. And when I hear that voice, I don't hear Aslan, I hear Qui-Gon or Schindler or ValJean or Darkman or........

Mgibson72, what a frustrating argument: "it's for kids and fans of the books so of course you won't like it." There are TONS of fantasy movies for kids which I love, and Narnia just isn't one of them. Stardust, Enchanted, Monster House, Holes, Harriet the Spy, Toy Story, Wallace and Grommit, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ratatouille, Harry Potter 3, Neverending Story, The Goonies, Willow, to name a few off the top of my head. Then there are examples like Cars or Lemony Snicket or Narnia where all the production values in the world won't save a script that talks down to you or doesn't itself believe in the fantasy world that it's living in. I grew up on the Narnia series, and watched the BBC film more times than I can count, so I definitely won't argue that kids won't like it. But that doesn't mean that it's a great film that they'll watch fifteen years from now with the same enjoyment. Just because it was useful in your parenting doesn't mean people can't wish it was a better movie.

Would it really be a surprise at this point if Speed Racer bombs? Don't get me wrong, I actually think it may be a good movie, but I have no intention of going to see it at the moment (never watched the cartoon, and too many other good-looking movies to spend my money on this summer), but I'd be far more surprised if it turned out to be a hit at the box office. Let's face it, that kind of thing just looks too bizarre for the general public. And without the "badass appeal" for teenage boys that 300 had, and with the cartoon being too old for any kids to be familiar with, what exactly is the intended demographic for the movie besides Wachowski/old Speed Racer fans? We'll see, it may be a hit, but that would be far more surprising than if it bombs. Oh, and Prince Caspian will be successful because it's a safe family adventure flick based on classic books that everyone knows. Just like the first one. Never underestimate the family demographic. They're the ones responsible for the damn Cars sequel.
-
I didn't write "of course you won't like it (the movie)". I also didn't write that it's an instant classic or that everyone should like it because I did.
I just tire of all of the "itsucksitsucksitsucksitsucks" chat that continually goes on here. Dropping the F-bomb when talking about a children's movie with no constructive criticism doesn't make anyone appear like they should know what they're talking about...quite the opposite.
I happened to think the first one was fantastic. Instead of t -
Instead of talking smack about it, go make your own to do better. Just to prove my own holier-than-thou point, I won't even mention how stupid I thought Never Ending Story was.
-
So we can then bitch about the lack of character development and the bad pacing!!
-
The story is that the studio isn't so committed to more Narnia beyond the Voyage of the Dawn Treader (and possibly not even that if this one tanks). I assume this attitude is all based on the failure of the Golden Compass and the relative blandness of other family-fantasy movies over the past year. Just to point out, the Seeker was a terrible movie that had horrible buzz and hardly any hype. Stardust was good but also had no hype and besides it was more of a small Princess Bride movie rather than a Harry Potter/LOTR event. Spiderwicke did okay business from what I remember, though I thought it was more Jumanji than Potter. The Golden Compass was the big fat loser of the fantasy movie genre, and I still think that's because of the books' and author's hostility towards Christianity and the movie's general stiffness (best book in the series should have produced a much better movie I thought). Narnia isn't going to have these problems. If anything gets in the way of it, I think it's Indiana Jones coming out a few days later. That kind of scheduling sucks rocks. Of course, I plan to see both, but not everyone has the time for such things anymore.
-
mehhhh
-
Looks like this one should be called:
Chronicles of Potter: Lord of the Spyderwick -
sarsy is right, the whiny bitches will say "weak characters, bad cgi"
the first movie was great, what upsets most people is that they have to actually pay attention and get thru a setup....with the seeminly low attention spans of current moviegoers, at least the ones in this room, thats a horrible prospect...the first movie wasnt boring , ur too dumb to sit thru anything without lots of movement....parents prob doped u up on meds as a kid cuz u ran around ur bedroom flapping ur arms all day right ?
-
Why is it that they can't inject a sense of SCALE and epicness into these Narnia movies?
-
it was as shit, shit movie. And if you've read the book - it's an even WORSE movie. They totally fucked the adaptation up. Hollywood is to blame for that piece of shit. They should have dived right in with the book instead of chopping/changing scenes around and entirely leaving out one of the best cliffhanger endings to a story ever.
-
as well as LOTOR. You can like both for different reasons you know? These are more family friendly and alot less heavy-going thematically. Sometimes you just want a popcorn flick, not a fucking face-melting 9 hour trilogy.
-
any of the Harry Potter movies, IMO. At least the fucking kids can act. Suck it bitches! :)
-
In fact, the acting of the Potter kids have gotten better. We'll have to wait and see if the Narnia kids' acting has improved. And there was no weight to the first one, it was missing heart.
-
I love Harry Potter, and Narnia wasn't all bad, but is anyone like me worried that the art of staging a damn exciting action setpiece seems to be dying? Here's hoping that in Indy IV Spielberg reminds everyone that it's thrills and spills set within an exciting story - not noise, not scale, not FX, not huge battles - that summer audiences are most pleased by. Anyone here care to mention their favourite action sequences of recent years?
-
And I read it about 50 times. What I do recall is that it was the weakest, shortest book of the lot, with no real story other than the Penvensies come back, travel a bunch, and Caspian duels. The NEXT one, however -- Voyage of the Dawn Treader -- is one of the most amazing "kids" books ever written (those aren't daydreams, they're DREAMS? willfully sleep an eternal dreamless sleep?), with one of the most thought-provoking endings I ever read as a kid. So guaranteed they'll lop it off, add big CGI sea battle with no emotional impact, followed by short conversation about how "but the real battle has only just begun", end credits.
-
I can sympathize with your need as a dad to find quality family entertainment, but as a fan of the books you also must admit that the first was a huge letdown in that it completely lost the character and magic of the book. The wonderful thing about Lewis's stories was not the battle scenes (which he all but skipped) but the little loving nuances that made Narnia such a unique world. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll be wrong, and my two favorites -- The Dawn Treader and The Magician's Nephew -- will focus on the stories and bring back the sense of wonder to kids that I felt as a child watching The Neverending Story, or that I felt more recently watching Pan's Labyrinth. But I'm lowering my expectations early with the knowledge that these movies are in the hands of an average director being controlled by risk-averse bankers, and as such they're every one going to be "safe" blockbuster fare. I.e., Value Meals completely lacking in flavor. But have fun with your kids, though. I wish I had the eyes of a six-year-old again so I could enjoy them more... as six-year-olds do most anything.
-
At least Prince Caspian isn't doing the "oh no he didn!) routine he did from all his previous movies. And at least this trailer isn't full of its fucking self like Han-muthafuckin-COCK! www.HANCOCKEATSSHIT.FUCKYOU.COM
