Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ beloved world – via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader. In this new installment of the blockbuster “The Chronicles of Narnia” motion picture franchise, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian, and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to the Dawn Treader. 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.
With the December date set, speculation is brewing that this third film is bumped to the particular date because the studios feel "Narnia" franchise is a winter material. The speculation came up seeing that "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", which was released in December 2005, grossed $291.7 million domestically, while its summer release sequel, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian", raked in only $141.2 million.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" has Michael Apted serving as the film's director. It will also see the return of Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley as Prince Caspian, Edmund and Lucy, and the joining of Will Poulter as Eustace Clarence Scrubb. Screenwriter Michael Petroni has recently been tapped to pen the script.
In this third movie, Lucy and Edmund Pevensie will make their third trip back to Narnia. Accompanied by their cousin Eustace, they meet up with Prince Caspian on a trip across the sea. Aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader, they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
