EXCLUSIVE: Ernie Malik Interview [Part 2]

This is the second part to my interview with Ernie Malik! Yes, there’s more to come after this!

Cy: Will Dawn Treader have an (as rumored) Underwater Battle?

Ernie: No.

Cy: Another rumor said that Dawn Treader could be released in 3-D- could you confirm this?

Ernie: The film was NOT shot in a 3-D format.

Cy: Shall Dawn Treader have a video game based off of it?

Ernie: That’s a studio marketing question I cannot answer.

Cy: There is still doubt about the December 10, 2010 release date for Dawn Treader, due to all the recent delays- and comebacks- the release date hasn’t been changed, has it?

Ernie: The film’s release date remains 12/10/10.

Cy: Is filming with the cast totally completed?

Ernie: Yes…Ben Barnes was the last key cast member working on Nov. 27.

Cy: There have been many, many rumors on whether Trumpkin and Dr. Cornelius shall appear in the Dawn Treader. Shall they?

Ernie: You’ll have to wait for the movie to see for yourself.

Cy: It was rumored a few months ago that there will be no Dawn Treader posters sold- is this true?

Ernie: Another studio question.

Cy: Could you provide a brief plot summary for Dawn Treader?

Ernie: In the new adventure, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb, find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world. Joining forces once again with their royal friend, Prince Caspian (now anointed King of Narnia), and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the quintet confronts magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an uncharted journey to Aslan’s Country, a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader, can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.

Yet to come:

Will all of the islands described in the Dawn Treader book be included in the movie?

If not, which have been omitted?

Will William Moseley and Anna Popplewell have any role in Dawn Treader?

Stay tuned!
