Found on the SA forums. I can't say I'm interested, due to certain major thematic elements in the books, but I figured people here would want to know. BTW, it's captured from a cell phone, and at a really shitty framerate. But here it is anyway:

Good. That removed some of my fears that it would be Lord of the Rings Lite. It had a distinctive feel somewhere between Harry Potter and the Rings Trilogy, right in that sweet spot.

And its a ton more colorful than either of those.

Looks like it could be quite good. I get more of a Harry Potter vibe than I do Lotr.

I love how when "This Christmas" zooms in all you see is "CHRIST" hella big on the screen at first :lol

what? I didn't see that at all.

I see where the "This Christmas" comes in halfway through the clip.. but it doesn't exactly stop or pause anywhere. All you see is (blur), then "This Christmas"

I mentioned LOTR because WETA is doing the creature and weapon designs as well as the special effects on Narnia. I was worried that they might just copy the feel over to Narnia, whether intentionally or not.

Looks okay so far... I hope these kids can act.

I'm still not sure.

The bright colors look really awkward. I'm not sure why. A few scenes look a lot like LOTR but with only a certain couple objects with added bright colors. Seems weird.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. It literally gave me chills, just like the first Sin City trailer.

you sound like a total pansy.



Looks cool though, as a few have mentioned before like a nice blend of HP and LOTR.

Tilda Swinton will OWN as the White Witch.

"Would you like some more...Turkish Delight?"

 

[Tritroid]

That looks awesome!

The music being played sounds great too.

 

[jadehorizon1]

Looks great, although i always imagined Naria as a little darker and mysterious than the way they show it

Spoiler

the whole thing about the LION being god and anybody dark being evil sorta ruined narnia for me.

Oh I don't think its intentional, its just how the screen crops the words as they first zoom in, my media player hanging up could have accentuated it though.

Wow what a big surprise! I didn't even know they were making a remake!! Damn this great! So many great movies!!

Do you like LOTR? Every humanoid character (in the films at least) with darker or colored skin is evil. Whites are good, although they can be corrupted and become evil. However, it doesn't go the other way. The darker ones stay evil.

I'm a big fan of the colors and how bright they are.

I just finished reading the Chronicles and always pictured Narnia as a bright and wonderous place, especially when Aslan is around.

 

[geogaddi]

I believe this is the trailer that they showed exclusively to Biola University

 

[Drozmight]

I donno. Looks almost like a made for Hallmark Channel movie.
