The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe looks set to add Grammy fame to its list of accolades, having received two nominations for its stirring soundtrack!
Composer Harry Gregson-Williams has been nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. The Narnia score is up against such acclaimed scores as Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man’s Chest (Hans Zimmer), The Da Vinci Code (Hans Zimmer), Munich (John Williams), and Memoirs Of A Geisha (John Williams).
Imogen Heap has also received a nomination for the credits song "Can’t Take It In", in the Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media category.
In this exclusive report, NarniaWeb can inform you that a director has now officially been attached to the third Narnia film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Earlier this year it was announced that Andrew Adamson would not be directing the third film due to other commitments (including his work on the upcoming Prince Caspian film).
Although we don’t have the name of the director for you yet, our source also confirms that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is already in pre-production.
Location reconnaissance is currently underway to select suitable sites for filming. The story is set at sea to the east of Narnia and includes scenes set on a series of islands that are quite distinct from one another. Prior reports have suggested that the island nation of Malta is one location under consideration.
Meanwhile, the scriptwriters are hard at work on the screenplay. The main characters in this story include Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, Caspian, the Pevensies’ unpleasant cousin Eustace, and the Talking Mouse called Reepicheep (who also appears in Prince Caspian).
And in a wee tidbit of Prince Caspian news, our source informs us that filming on Prince Caspian is currently progressing very well in Prague. Stay tuned to NarniaWeb for all the latest Narnia news!
