Loading ...Skandar Keynes (“Edmund Pevensie”) confirms that filming for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has ended and gives a short movie summary.
Principal photography in Australia has now ended.
Edmund and Lucy Pevensie return to Narnia with their unpleasant cousin Eustace through an enchanted painting of a ship. They are reunited with Caspian and Reepicheep for a journey across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader in search of the seven Lords banished by Caspian’s uncle Miraz. Along they way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors and endure many adventures before reaching the edge of the world that is the home of Aslan, the King of all Narnia.
Skandar also introduces fans to Sebastian Keynes the giant tortoise.
Skandar is hoping to visit the Galapagos in the summer of 2010 to meet his friend Sebastian and other giant tortoises on Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands. He also hopes to see the sea lions, turtles, and sharks under water.
Sebastian has a tracking device attached to his back which you can see on the picture.

By the way, Sebastian Keynes is on Facebook and you too could be his friend.

UPDATE: Skandar posted the following on VDT filming on December 8.
Principal Photography has ended on the Gold Coast of Australia. Skandar has come away with a PADI certificate in scuba diving which he is hoping to put to good use in the future. The story of the film is of a sea journey on the Dawn Treader. The boat is even more magical than in the pictures posted by fans on the internet so wait till you see the film!
“…they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors”
Dwarves??? band of lost warriors???? What’s this?
Yes! What is this outburst?
The Galapagos Islands are the most incredible living museum of evolutionary changes, with a huge variety of exotic species (birds, land and sea animals, plants) and landscapes not seen anywhere else.
I don’t know, Mark. I don’t know. Sounds a bit like the leaked script, doesn’t it?
Do not miss the Galapagos trip no matter what else happens. But be sure to take a long enough voyage to really see the islands. 3-8 days is not enough. You need 11-15 days to even scratch the surface of all that there is to see. Every morning when the ship reaches another island you will see Galapagos anew.
And yes, I am also a Narnia fan.
