Next ‘Narnia’ gets date in December
March 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: Source: Variety
Twentieth Century Fox and Walden Media will release “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” on Dec. 10, 2010.
Move means “Narnia” will once again be a winter franchise.
Fox recently partnered with Walden on the “Narnia” film series after Disney and Walden parted ways.
Mouse House released the first two “Narnia” films. First one debuted in December 2005 and cumed $291.7 million domestically.
Sequel was released last May to less spectacular results, cuming $141.2 million at the North American box office. Walden and Fox believe “Narnia” is better suited for a December release.
As of now, “Dawn Treader” has the 2010 date to itself.

Fox to develop ‘Narnia’
Source: Variety
One month after Disney decided to pull the plug on co-financing the third movie in Walden Media’s “Chronicles of Narnia” series, Walden has found a new partner in 20th Century Fox.
Fox, which was entitled to first crack at “The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader” after Disney dropped out because of the shared Fox Walden marketing and distribution label, has made a commitment to develop the project. The two sides are still working out budget and script issues, but the hope is to shoot the film at the end of summer for a holiday 2010 release through the Fox Walden label.
After budget and script concerns are settled, Fox and Walden are expected to greenlight the film. The intention is to move the production away from Mexico, where, ironically, it was going to be shot at the Fox-owned Baja facility called Rosarito used for “Titanic” and “Master and Commander.” “Dawn Treader” will instead likely shoot in Australia because of concerns for the drug violence and kidnappings that are taking place near Baja.
Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley are reprising their roles as Caspian, Edmund and Lucy, respectively. New to the production is Will Poulter (“Son of Rambo”), who will portray Eustace Clarence Scrubb. Pic is being directed by Michael Apted, with Mark Johnson and Andrew Adamson producing.

‘Narnia’ to be found in Mexico
Source: Variety
The third installment of Disney and Walden Media’s “Chronicles of Narnia” franchise is sailing from New Zealand to Mexico.
Production of the first two pics — “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Prince Caspian” — was largely based in New Zealand because of government tax incentives. Weta Digital and Weta Workshop, which created most of the films’ effects and props, also are based in that country.
But producers of the new pic, “Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” to be directed by Michael Apted, needed several large soundstages plus a massive water tank. Title of the film refers to the ship that serves as a major set piece.
Because of that, production will move to Rosarito, Mexico, and set up shop at Baja Studios, where “Titanic,” “Deep Blue Sea” and “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” were shot.
Basing the pic mainly in one location also will cut costs, sources close to the production said.
Location shots in Australia will still be filmed as planned.
Production originally was slated to start in October, but will now likely begin in January.
“The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” shot mostly in New Zealand, while “Prince Caspian” also lensed in Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. Soundstages were used in Prague.
Lack of studio space has long plagued New Zealand’s film council, and officials have attempted to raise public and private funds to build more.
Country will take a financial hit because of “Narnia’s” move. First pic ponied up $134 million, while “Prince Caspian” shelled out $52 million there, government officials have said.
Despite disappointment with the B.O. performance of “Prince Caspian,” Disney and Walden are not attributing the move to Mexico to that film’s haul.
Pic has earned $138 million domestically and another $178 million overseas so far, giving it a cume of $316 million. “The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe” earned $745 million worldwide.
