Narnia casts it's spell on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is hosting 600 crew members from the set of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Images of a strange other world have sprung up on the Spit. This week part of the Gold Coast Seaway was transformed into a medieval wharf. Photo belows shows the set being built on the Spit at Main Beach. Friday marked the crew's final cut of a three day shoot at the Seaway set that took 8 weeks to assemble.
The weather has been absolutely spectactular for filming
Young actor, Will Poulter in action
David Vallon who plays Gumpas
I am particularly excited about this event and movie, as good friend Sandy and her husband Tom (the mountain man) have been involved with the costume design for this film.
One could be forgiven for mistaking this actor for the Mountain Man!!

Can't wait to see their designs, which will only happen after the film is released.
Meanwhile the building of the 35 meter Dawn Treader is near completion, and awaits the crew (85% Australian) at Cleveland Point, where they will resume filming.
