Voyage of the Dawn Treader Trailer + Caps

Anna is indeed in the new Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer, in the book Lucy looks at at 1.15 and again at the 1.49 mark! :

On another note, there is no more mention of Anna playing in the film ‘Hannah’ on her IMDB or elsewhere. Sorry guys, guess it was just a very developed rumor, but at least we know we’ll see her in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader this Christmas!

 

Voyage of the Dawn Treader Posters, Hanna role reassessed

We have our first look at Anna as Susan Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, thanks to some promotional posters found outside of a cinema! Thanks Jamyle for the tip. You can see all of the shots, including all of the main characters and the creatures at Mundonarnia.

The image looks a bit like Anna at the end of Prince Caspian, so I’m still not convinced that Anna actually acted in this role or if they manipulated an image back from filming in Prince Caspian — what do you think?

And now for some bad news. It was reported that Anna was confirmed for the role of Sophie Domerc in the new 2011 film Hanna. While Anna is still listed for the part on the film’s IMDB, which is supposedly official, there has been some talk of another English actress actually having the part:

Seventeen year old Jessica Barden is currently treading the boards in the West End with Ian Rickson’s highly acclaimed play Jerusalem and will next be seen on the big screen in Joe Wright’s feature Hanna. {sonyclassics.com}

While neither Anna or Jessica have been directly confirmed for the part of Sophie, I want to reassess Anna’s confirmation back to a rumor. It is possible that both are in the film (one as Sophie and another as a different part), or Anna isn’t actually in the film at all. However, Jessica isn’t listed quite officially either — Jessica Barden @ IMDB. Only time will tell, we will bring you the latest developments on who is really playing Sophie Domerc in Hanna as it comes. Don’t get your hopes up just yet!

 

Anna Appears in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Trailer

On May 1st, there was a Biolamedia conference at the CBS studios in Hollywood, where they showed the trailer to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader. As word has it, Anna was actually in the trailer as Susan Pevensie! This is surprising because Susan and Peter are not in the Voyage of Dawn Treader book by C.S. Lewis, and Anna has said she did not return to film VDT. However, speculations are that this could be a flashback scene, or similar to when Tilda Swinton was CGI’d in Prince Caspian, from footage they had of her from the previous film. We also know that Anna did visit the set of VDT, although she didn’t formallly announce participating in filming while she was there.

The scene has Susan appearing in a spell book that Lucy is looking at. When Lucy turns to the spell of ‘beauty beyond the lot of mortals’, an image of Susan conjures into her mind and onto the page. Here are some reports on the scene:

Aslans Country:

Lucy walks down the hall to the magician’s book. She opens it as Aslan’s voice speaks in the background. Snow falls as she gazes around in wonder. Another clip of the book includes Lucy looking on the page of the spell of beauty beyond the lot of mortals, and her image in the books morphs into an image of Susan.

The Lions Call:

On the Island of the Voices, we see Lucy approach Coriakin’s Book. At first, it bears a number of scrambled letters placed at random on the cover, but once unclasped, the cover reads “The Book of Incantations.”

At one point, standing before the book, Lucy apparently causes it to snow, covering the room in white and bringing a smile to her face, reminiscent of her first foray into Narnia. Later in the trailer, she looks into the book and sees a picture of herself that morphs into the face of her sister Susan.

Narniafans:

There was a good scene of Lucy in the Magic Room. Beautiful set. Aslan fast forwards Lucy through the book. Lucy says a spell and Susan appears in the window. Yes, Anna Popplewell makes an appearance.

I hope this means the trailer is coming to the public soon! We will keep you posted :D .
