"VDT" begins pre-production
Dawn Treader Begins
Third Narnia gets new director.
by Paul Davidson
April 10, 2007 - The accelerated production schedule for The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader appears to be going ahead as planned. As we reported earlier, Walden Media and Disney are hoping to release Narnia films roughly one year apart from each other. Given the complexity of these big-budget, effects-laden films, that means overlapping production schedules. Dawn Treader is expected to begin filming soon after the Prince Caspian shoot ends, utilizing a separate crew and director.
Sources have supplied additional confirmation of this to the NarniaWeb.com website, stating that a new director has already been chosen for the third film, and that pre-production work is underway. Exactly who has been selected to helm the picture remains secret for now, but it's been known for some time that Andrew Adamson would probably step down as director after Prince Caspian was completed.
While production on Caspian wraps up the New Zealand portion of its schedule and heads to the Czech Republic and Slovenia, Walden Media's location scouts are already on the prowl seeking out prime locales for the Dawn Treader's fantastic voyage. That story takes place largely at sea and on various tropical islands, and regions that have been suggested as potential shooting locations include the Australian coast, the Bahamas, and Malta.
