Biola Conference Footage ''spoilers''


Here is what I think of every single line of this trailer:
*The “trailer” starts with a sweeping view of a church with lion gargoyles, 20th century people exiting the doors below. Aslan’s voice speaks in the background about times changing.
Hmm…….why a church? Are Aunt Alberta and Uncle Harold going to come out of the church with Eustace and act really weird. Or will Aunt Alberta be gossiping about the Pevensies.

*Edmund and Lucy in Eustace’s bedroom. Edmund asks Lucy if she has seen the ship in the picture before. Lucy smiles and says it’s very Narnian.
Well, I got to say that is pretty accurate to the book. What else can I say?
*Eustace, Edmund, and Lucy in Eustace’s bedroom, with water pouring out of the picture frame and filling the bedroom. They swim in the water and emerge at the surface with the Dawn Treader.
We already knew they were changing this. I am not surprised.

*Edmund and Lucy in Narnian clothes in Caspian’s cabin. Edmund wonders why they have been called to Narnia if there is no war or trouble.
Edmund never says anything about wondering that in the book. That’s all I have to say.

*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.
Well, it could be that these things are not even related. I don’t know since I didn’t even see the trailer. Lucy does walk down a hall.
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.
Really weird. Unless her looking beautiful beyond a lot of mortals is looking like Susan, and I hope beyond hope I am wrong, that doesn’t make any sense.

*Coriaken unrolls a huge map, his voiceover telling them of the perils ahead. Apparently, the writers have combined some of the episodes in the book to create a goal to defeat the “darkness” that threatens Narnia. It seems that they have to land on the dark island and follow a “blue star” to Ramandu’s island.
Huh? Really the ‘‘blue star’’ is true? Come on guys, the reason everyone was enraged about the leaked VDT script is partly, because of the ‘‘blue star’’ element.

*Footage of Gael and Lucy. Gael says to Lucy in a ship’s cabin, “When I grow up, I want to be just like you.” Lucy replies by putting her arm around Gael and saying, “When you grow up, I want you to be just like you.”
Just like Lucy. At least she isn’t out of character.
Another scene includes Lucy comforting Gael as she misses her mother by telling her to trust in Aslan.
This seems to confirm the Slave girl theory.

*Eustace sitting among some barrels, writing in his notebook. He asks an albatross on a barrel if he talks too, and a nearby minotaur laughs at him talking to animals.
Okay, is this before or after he changes? Wait, I just had a thought. But I hope this isn’t it. Eustace liking beetles pinned on cards, is now a sorta of scientist in this movie and is writting down all the facts about animals in this new world.

*A dragon shadow swooping across a mountainside.
Okay, cool. What color is he?

*Coriaken becoming visible again: a table of books begin to blur as his image moves, not blending in with his surroundings anymore.
We see him become visible? Wow, ruins the fun there.

*Reepicheep climbing a mast.
Really cool.

*Ramandu’s daughter emerging out of light. She welcomes the group to Aslan’s table.
Hmm….From the book. But who plays Ramandu?

*Lucy looking on a door that opens out of nowhere, with light beyond, presumably the door in the sky.
Could be cool if it really is that.

*Edmund, Eustace and Lucy on a beach with Aslan, presumably at the end of the world. Lucy asks if they will return.
Yes! Another accurate part to the book, brawahaa!
As more clips play, Aslan’s voiceover speaks the line of them knowing him by another name in their world.
We already knew that, I wish I had seen this part.

*Coriaken with the crew of the DT. He throws some white stuff in Eustace’s direction and says something, maybe a spell. Lucy asks Coriaken what the white stuff was, and he replies, “Lint, but don’t tell him that.”
So, they meet Coriaken after Eustace changes? I assume this is to make Eustace think Coriaken made him either brave, courageous, or something to that effect.

*The footage ends as other trailers have, the Narnia logo sweeping away, this time made of finished stone.
Maybe the rock that King Caspian threw the golden arm bracelet to is this one. Cross your fingers.
Thank you subjectofthehighking!!

I am really excited to see the movie, but hopefully we see (actually see not just some people at a conference, but everyone see) a trailer soon.
