20th Century Fox has revealed the first poster for Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third film in the Narnia franchise and the first to be released by Fox.
The film will follow the story of Edmund and Lucy Pevensie who, 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 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 trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely 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.
Michael Apted is directing with Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, and Ben Barnes retuning to their lead roles, along with Will Poulter, Gary Sweet, Bruce Spence, Arthur Angel, Shane Rangi and Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan.
Check out the poster below:
As far as teaser posters go this one doesn’t really do much to get the viewer interested in seeing the film. Most people will have already seen the first film, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and know about Aslan. It seems unnecessary that he be featured so prominently on this poster despite Aslan being a constant driving force throughout the films. The Dawn Treader ship glowing in his eye, however, is a nice inclusion, as is Reepicheep, the warrior mouse who will have a big role in Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader will be released this year on December 10.
