The Seattle Times mentions Georgie!

Posted on 23 Jul 2010 by Claire with 0 comment(s)

The Seattle Times has an interesting blog titled Popcorn and Prejudice in which the author, Moira Macdonald blogged about the new "Ramona and Beezus" film, which she claims was miscast.

Interestingly, she mentions Georgie's performance as Lucy Pevensie in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as being a 'spot-on' performance!

British movies seem to do a better job at this; the "Harry Potter" kids are all well cast (though I have my qualms about the girl playing Ginny Weasley), and one of the true joys in the uneven "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was the enchanting performance of 8-year-old Georgie Henley as Lucy -- a child who wasn't Hollywood-pretty, but who had an almost magical quality of wonder onscreen.

What do you make of Ms. Macdonald's assessment? I agree for the most part, except for the part about Georige not being Hollywood-pretty. Just take a look at her latest photoshoot with Faye Thomas! If that isn't Hollywood-pretty, I don't know what is!

Their mission - on which rests the fate of Narnia itself - takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies, and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.

Narnia gets limited representation at Comic Con

Posted on 19 Jul 2010 by Claire with 0 comment(s)

San Diego's 2010 Comic Con culminates the most highly anticipated films for the year. This year, however, NarniaFans is reporting that Voyage of the Dawn Treader is receiving limited representation.

In the past, when the series was at Disney, Comic-Con was a major source of information for Narnia Fans. Now, only the film’s Production Designer is going to be there:

1:00-2:00 Motion Picture and Television Production Designers - Motion picture and television production designers might take us to a 1930s prison break, a ’50s drag race, a ’70s disco, or even today’s Comic-Con. Or, like this year’s panel, they’ll take you to unknown worlds that beggar the imagination- fully realized worlds with alternate architecture, interior design, cars, weapons, and more. In collaboration with a multi-person, highly skilled art department, they will conceive, hire, supervise, and even try to stay on budget as they create whole new worlds of the imagination. Panelists include moderator John Muto (Terminator 2: 3D), Mimi Gramatky (10,000 Days), Robison (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), Kirk Petruccelli (Blade), and Oliver Scholl (The Time Machine).

Bit disappointing, eh? Hopefully as we inch closer to the film, we'll receive some more info!
