Movie Monday

So I've decided to dub Monday's on the blog "Movie Mondays." These entries will be dedicated to movies based on books. Upcoming movies and older movies worth remembering and the books that inspired them. I'll discuss what I think are the pros and cons of the movie vs. the book (and I want to hear your comments, so don't hesitate to speak up!). If there are any movies you think I should write about, shoot me an email at librariansti@gmail.com!

Today's movie is
Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader



One version of the book and the poster for the movie (it's going to be 3-D!!)

Now, I just saw the trailer this weekend, I had no idea that they were making it! I never got around to watching Prince Caspian, though apparently I need to now. Voyage of the Dawn Treader is my favorite book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, so it's no wonder I'm so excited about seeing it as a movie. :)

If you haven't read the book, here's a brief and almost spoiler-free summary:

Edmund and Lucy Pevensy along with their bratty cousin, Eustace, are transported through a painting into Narnia where they join Prince Caspian on a voyage to the west. The children are tested on this voyage, and visit strange lands and encounter unusual creatures.

And here is the trailer:


Now, it's been 4 or 5 years since I've read Dawn Treader but lots of the scenes from the trailer look spot on, so I'm really looking forward to this release!

What are your thoughts?
