Skandar Son of Adam

Hey everyone! It's Angie Wildar. A million apologies for not updating lately. Recently, production for Chronicles of Narnia: The Prince Caspian has started and people from the production crew have started to make blogs and       videos about production, giving us all an insight towards what to expect in the upcoming film. In the following video is Andrew Adamson, director of the Chronicle of Narnia series giving us a little peek.

<3 Angie

P.S. Once again, so sorry for not updating recently

 

I have inserted the "Buttons" page into the "Fan Happenings" page, and re-named it "Extras".

There is also a new humorous segment, called "You Know You're Obsessed With Skandar Keynes When...", so feel free to send in your ideas to lengthen the list! 

Jump to Extras

I've posted the winners for this latest Caption Contest.  (It seems Skandar.net has followed my lead, as they have created a caption contest as well ... funny!)

Sorry that I have not posted in such a long time.  I have just seven days left of school (thank goodness), but what with finals and all, I've had very little time to update.  Angie's schedule is even worse.

I've added more pictures to the photo gallery.  Enjoy!

Prince Caspian has been pushed from December 2007 to summer 2008, reportedly due to the reason that Disney does not want the profits of one of their films, The Water Horse, to take away from the profits of Prince Caspian, or vice versa!  The Water Horse's release date was spaced to close to the ideal release for Prince Caspian.  Though this is the primary reason, one must also take into account the fact that Caspian himself will not be cast until fall 2006! 

 

I was brainstorming something new to add to this site, and here's my idea: a "You Know You're Obsessed With Skandar Keynes When..." page!  It could end up being a long list.

An example would be, "Whenever Skandar Keynes is mentioned, your friends all look at you."  Yet another example would be, "You try to act and dress like Edmund even though you're a girl."   (These are meant to be funny; hardly serious at all.)

If you have any submissions to the list, you may send them with the "Contact Me" link.  (If you have multiple submissions, send them together, not separately.

 

NOTE: The "Contact Me" page is not for sending hate mail or love letters, as submissions are NOT sent to Skandar.  It is scary just how many people send Angie and I questions regarding going on dates, performing stunts, and acting employment.  I am not Skandar, I am Sucy.

Three cheers for Julie and Sarah!  They have won the most recent Caption Contest.  To read their winning entries, and to send in your own for this present contest, please visit the Caption Contest link on the toolbar. 

P.S.  My sister swears she heard Skandar Keynes mentioned on "Radio Disney".  After hours of intent listening, I still never heard them repeat the announcement about Skandar.  If any of you listen to Radio Disney, and have heard an ad or announcement about Skandar, please report what you heard using the "Contact Me" link.  Thank you!

Hey everyone again! It's angie willdar. Sorry i haven't updated for the LONGEST time. I recently went to Yosemite National Park for vacation and so I was unable to get online.There is quite a lot of Narnia news to update with. First of all the official website, Narnia.com, has added four behind-the-scenes clips from the DVD. To view them, click "The DVD" on the homepage, then "Menu," then "Trailers and Clips," then "DVD Bonus Clips." If you don’t own the 2-disc Collector’s Edition, you will want to check these out.

Also, bad news but according to Cary Granat (CEO, Walden), Prince Caspian may be bumped from 2007 to Christmas 2008 due to daunting effects demands. The article adds that Walden plans to use Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair to create an interlocking trilogy that will be shot in order. Although no release dates have been announced, this will probably be Walden Media's plan for the next few movies.  To see the scan of this tiny article, click HERE. That's all for now and I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break.

                  ~yours, angie

 

 

This is Sucy.  Angie is in Yosemite right now, and I am also on vacation, so here's a small update: on NarniaWeb, there is a section on the costumes.  They have an entire page of photos of Edmund in various scenes to show his different outfits.  If you aren't interested in costumes, you would still love that page because there are so many pictures of Skandar as Edmund!  Click Here for the page. 

Enjoy the pictures!  (And submit your caption in our Caption Contest.  If you don't have a talent for being funny, ask a friend, sibling, ect. for ideas.  The only rule is, you have to keep it clean.  No insults to people of a certain race either.)

On NaniaWeb, they have a quiz to best match your personality with your Narnian equivalent.  I (Sucy Edter) got 'Prince Rilian'    *Oh, joy*  So if you would like to find out who in Narnia you are most like, click here.

On another subject, the president and chief executive of the Walt Disney Co. hinted that there will be a Narnia ride at Disney World!  To read the entire article, you can visit it here.

In yet another section of NarniaWeb, there is an article in which the four children promote the DVD.  Says Skandar Keynes,

' "I found out the sequel (Prince Caspian) was happening through a teacher," says Skandar Keynes, 14, who portrays Edmund, one of the four Pevensie siblings in the film, which is new on DVD this week. He jokes, "She had the inside knowledge." '

Hi everyone again! It's Angie Willdar here. I hope you guys enjoyed the little bit of fun we had posted on the April Fools Day. It sure got me tricked.  Anyway, there's just a teeny bit of news overall about Chronicles of Narnia. There are a few new pictures of Skandar along with his co-stars in front of a life-size ice sculpture of Aslan. The pictures are quite nice. Here are just a few out of at least ten:

            ^^skandar's hair looks a bit funny

I will try to upload more of these great pictures soon into the photo gallery. Now for the other news. For anyone who owns the Narnia soundtrack and thinks that the music from the movie is totally amazing, Harry Gregson Williams will be conducting a concert in Madrid, Spain with a lot of the movie music he has written. I am sure that it will be a great concert and to check out more information about this event, click HERE.

Also, Howart Berger, the wonderful makeup artist who won an Oscar award for Narnia along with Tami Lane has published an interview about his favourite creatures from the film and he also discusses what the process was like for him to plan out so many creature's makeup and much more! This interview can be found HERE. That's all for today!

~yours, angie willdar

 

Hi everyone! This is Angie Willdar. I'm glad everyone liked the new interview with Skandar Keynes in it. I found it extremely amusing and I noticed that Skandar said "Erm" or "Uh" a lot. The site update is that I've deleted the forum as there is not use for it. No one posts there as we use the guestbook as everyone basically uses the guestbook as a forum, which is totally fine. OMG, YOU GUYS WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS. RUPERT GRINT (ronald weasley) HAS BEEN CASTED AS TRUMPKIN THE RED DWARF FOR PRINCE CASPIAN! wow! I was totally amazed by that. Other roles such as King Miraz's henchment have also been casted and for more information and pictures of the next cast of the movie, click HERE . <--before you read the rest of this post please check out the website. it is very important. Thank you! Also, now availible on the website is part of Caspian's script that they used for the auditions. If you're interested in reading that script, click HERE. And yes, Edmund is part of the script so you can read his lines.  That's the update for now and check back soon!

~yours, angie willdar

P.S. i really want to take the time to thank all the people who have continued to visit the site even when Sucy and I were really busy and had almost no time to update. My schedule getting a little better now and more news about Caspian is coming around so check back more often!

P.S.S. JK! The Prince Caspian Cast List was an April Fools Joke. Now how many of you did actually believed the website? Truth be told, I actually did. Vote at the web poll below!

You can now take part in the first ever Skandar Caption Contest!  Just follow the link on this site's toolbar and submit your idea to be judged by Angie and I, Sucy Edter!  You're welcome to tell your friends, and if you have many ideas, feel free to submit multiple captions.  (Just don't repeatedly submit the same caption over and over)  We will post a number of the best captions after two weeks, then open another caption contest if this one goes well. 

Have fun!!!

Here's an interview including all of those questions you want to know, but are too afraid to ask.  (includes the notorious "boxers or briefs?") Link to the interview

As I'm sure we all know, Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be released on DVD April 4th.  You can read a review of the extended DVD and order it here.  The DVD is packed with bonus features galore -- similar to the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.  (I'm going to pre-order the DVD myself.  I sure hope they include Skandar's prank dance with the feathered creature!!!)

For those of you who were wondering when Caspian would come out. here's a quote from an article which states when:

Box Office Mojo has added the potential release date for Prince Caspian to its schedule. "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" may be roaring into theatres December 14, 2007.
This would avoid Prince Caspian coinciding with the release of the first installment of another popular fantasy series, "His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass", which would be released one week earlier.

For the full article, check out: http://www.narniaweb.com/news.asp?id=800&dl=8548000

Very Interesting news for those who live in UK near a blockbuster video store:

Blockbuster, the DVD rental chain, has launched a promotion allowing customers to choose a free copy of three of last year’s most popular movies, including The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, King Kong or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with every purchase of a Blockbuster 10-rental voucher book. Blockbuster will advertise the promotion, which runs until May 1, in the national press and through in-store activity.

Finally, a little selection from Mark Johnson and about the coming film, Prince Caspian:

Prince Caspian
Producer Mark Johnson won an Oscar for producing 1988's Best Picture, Rain Man, but that's nothing compared to how his Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe kicked Kong's butt at the box office last winter. (Okay, he didn't say that, but he should have!) The result, Johnson told EW, is that ''we are frantically trying to get Caspian ready for next year. For the end of '07.'' And then what? ''And then, you know, we have a tentative lineup. The question is, How soon do we start them? Do we do them — this going to sound wrong — in a factory assembly line sort of thing, sort of the way the Harry Potters are done? And I don't mean that in any critical sense.'' Oh, of course not. He continued: ''The problem with The Chronicles — it's both its strength and its problem — is that each book is so different from the other. And with the exception of Aslan, there's no one character who repeats in all of them.''

Well, that's all and sorry if I overwhelmed you with all this news.

                      ~ yours, Angie

 

Not exactly Skandar news, but I thought you should know -- Georgie Henley has a new role in a BBC film where she will play the young Jane Eyre.  (If you don't know who Jane Eyre is, click here.)  To see details of Georgie's role and other NarniaWeb postings, click here.    

~Sucy Edter <<<wow, a ninja!

Recently, Skandar Keynes attended the Empire Film Awards in London along with his co-stars Georgie Henley, Anna Popplewell, and William Moseley. Here are some of the pictures (more will be put into the gallery soon):

                                                

 

Also, Skandar has been added back to the cbbc pole so please vote for him everyday (don't let him be kicked off like last time!). The link is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_1640000/newsid_1647300/1647307.stm Vote now!!!!

~ time to go! yours, angie (sucy and I will take turns posting as I am extremely busy now )

This is Sucy Edter here!

There's a section in Disney Adventures magazine that has a quiz titled, "Do You Know Narnia?" I took the quiz for you, and here's all of the questions and answers that are Skandar-related:

1. Which actor accidentally got locked inside the wardrobe during one of the scenes?

a) William Moseley (Peter)

b) Anna Popplewell (Susan)

c) Skandar Keynes (Edmund)

d) Georgie Henley (Lucy)

The answer is c, Skandar Keynes!  See "Bloopers of Narnia" on the DVD (which will be released on April 4th, FYI) It's in the scene where Edmund follows Lucy into the Wardrobe.

(skipping #2....)

3. Which actor's sister sometimes had to voice his/her character?

a) Anna

b) Georgie

c) Skandar

d) Tilda Swinton (White Witch)

The answer is c, Skandar.  Check out the cast members' audio commentary on the DVD.  Skandar's voice changed so much during filming that he had to have his sister voice his character near the end of filming.

(skipping #4 and #5...)

6. Which actor served as a stunt double for Skandar in one scene?

a) William

b) Anna

c) Georgie

d) James McAvoy (Mr. Tumnus)

The answer is b, Anna.  Ckeck out the cast members' audio commentary on the DVD.  Skandar had left for the day, and the crew needed to shoot the scene where Edmund first enters Narnia and falls into the snow.  So Anna dressed as Edmund and did the scene.

 

Aside from the quiz, the other bit of Skandar-info is something that Anna Popplewell said in an interview about the DVD:

(DA mag) What did you think was the funniest blooper?

(AP) Skandar getting hit on the head with a cricket ball ... priceless!

Though this has already been posted in the "Fan Happenings" section, I'm posting it here too in case you don't often visit that section.  To find out what kind of Skandar Fan you are, go to http://quizilla.com/users/morwen4444/quizzes/What%20Kind%20of%20Skandar%20Keynes%20Fan%20Are%20You%3F/ and take the quiz!  I am the "Well-Rounded Fan" ... who are you?

Hey everyone! Sorry that i changed the layout AGAIN. I just thought it might be kinda cool that the navigation bar would be at the top of the page and so i'm just trying out this layout for now. I think i'll probably change it back though as the website looks a bit "messy" this way. If you have comments, you can always just contact me through the new contact page, which makes e-mailing a lot easier. Okay, there are a lot of updates again:

Congratulations to Howard Berger and Tami Lane who won an Oscar for Best Achievement In Makeup for their Work in Chronicles of Narnia!!! Their acceptance speech and more information about their award is available here http://www.narniafans.com/?id=798 and if you would like to watch their press conference after the awards, visit: http://www.oscars.com/video/index.html?channel=PressRoom&clip=2770 .

Besides that exciting news, if you wanted to see what you would get back from Skandar if you sent a letter to him, you will get back a signed letter and an autographed picture of him. I found this article from http://www.narniaweb.com/news.asp?id=839&dl=8964715 and so thank you www.narniaweb.com for the great scans and good information:

(Note: the following is from www.narniaweb.com)

Woodmaid (one of our NarniaWebbers) recently sent Skandar Keynes a letter and he responded with a standard form letter and a signed picture. We have a copy of the letter and the signed photograph. In the letter, Keynes writes:

Dear *Name*,

Thanks for your letter! I am glad you liked the film and Edmund.

Here’s a signed photo for you.

You might like to know that I’ll have my own website
www.skandar-keynes.com sometime in March.
In the meantime, you can look for news about the sequel,
Prince Caspian on www.narniaweb.com.

Thanks for your special interest in Narnia. It mean a lot to me
and
bye for now!

*Signature*





If you would like to write your own letter to Skandar, you may address your letter to:

Skandar Keynes
c/o Hamilton Hodell
5th Floor
66-68 Margaret Street
London, W1W 8SR

Well, that's all I have for today and I hope you guys like the excellent scans. Please leave a comment in the guestbook! I enjoy reading everyone's comments!

Hi, everybody!

The Chronicles of Narnia was released in Japan on the 4th of March, bringing a new swarm of eager viewers to the big screen -- $9.2 million of viewers, reports a weekend box-office estimate. 

To see the details of this online go to http://www.narniafans.com/?id=799 The full version of this article can be viewed at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/06/AR2006030600478.html

Thanks!  (and go see Narnia again)

                                *Sucy Edter*

Hello again! March is a terrible month for me to update but I'll do my best! Thanks for still visiting my website and commenting! It's really nice to read people's comment so I can improve the website. Thank you everyone! I've decided to make e-cards despite almost no comments on wheter I should or not and so they should be up within a week.  I might put them up even earlier so check around often. Lastly, yes I have changed the layout. I thought it would looks more neat this way and organized. I'll just see how it works out like this and decide if I want keep it or not. Now I just had a few interesting articles and pictures etc. you guys might want to check out:

It took a marathon two-year search across England, stopping off at countless schools, drama groups and youth clubs, to find the four lead children. The final choices were newcomer Georgie Henley, nine, who plays Lucy; Skandar Keynes, 13, as Edmund; teenage actress Anna Popplewell , 16, as Susan, the cautious older sister; and William Moseley, 17, as Peter, the eldest.  

Creatures from the film.

“I was quite intimidated by the idea of directing the children before the first rehearsal,” Adamson admits, “but I found that the kids actually charge you up because they have so much energy. Directing them, it's challenging sometimes, but we have really brilliant kids. I find that I'll get into a scene with them and they'll give back as much or more than I'm putting in, which is really wonderful.”

Also on the internet now are more fantastic pictures of the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe attraction at Walt Disney World, Florida. In the walk-though attraction, the props, scenery, and costumes used in the movie are on display for guests to see. Here are some great pictures of the things they have on display at the attraction:

Hello! I am sooo sorry that I haven't posted or updated in the longest time. I've been extremely busy this week (this might be the busiest week i've ever been in) and in a few minutes, I have to leave for a performance. Sorry. Well, I'll just try and add some stuff for right now, though. Right now, Skandar is in Japan at the Japanese Premiere of Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. I've added some pictures of him at Japan in the gallery. Here are also some pictures of him checking into the hotel there: 

                        <-- (I wonder if that is his mom)

Also, I have recently gotten a lot of e-mails about whether I have tried contacting Skandar yet or have another way of contacting him besides snail mail. Here are my answers:

As you all were wondering, no, I haven't written Skandar a letter yet. I recently heard from a fan who said that when she wrote to Skandar, she got her letter back saying that it couldn't be delivered (which is quite weird as everyone else who has sent Skandar a letter has gotten one back). What I think the problem is is that not only do you have to write Skandar's name on the envelope, but you also have to write the name of his specific agent, which the fanmail address page fails to mention. I'm working on finding out more about that right now and I'll post something on the website when I progress on that little problem. ALso, I read something about having to use International Reply coupons for those who don't live in UK, and so I'll have to figure out how you work that too.  Lastly, about finding out Skandar's e-mail. E-mail address are popping up but most of them are fake like: skandarlove@yahoo.com or skandarforever@yahoo.com since if Skandar wants to keep a low profile, why would he have an e-mail address like that? I found an address that was skandarkeynes91@yahoo.co.uk but when a friend e-mailed it, she got no reply back and so it's either deserted or the person is a faker. However, on the internet I heard that he recently deserted a e-mail address when one of his friends gave it out as a joke as so that might just be his deserted one.

Lastly, I'm not sure if everyone will like the idea, but I'm thinking of starting up an area where you can send a birthday e-card or other e-cards featuring Skandar in them to your friends. If the idea is popular, I'll start up soon. To post your opinion about this new idea, check out the discussion section: http://www.freewebs.com/skandarsonofadam/discussion.htm

                                                                ~yours, angie

P.S. Please check out the discussion area, I usually like to post up interesting topic to chat about, etc.

P.P.S. Sorry for barely any posts lately.

I've found a lot more great photos of the Cast of Chronicles of Narnia. Recently, the cast went to Disney World, Florida to be in the parade and do some signings. However, they did stay long enough to enjoy themselves on many of the rides. Here are a few pictures:      For more visit: http://community.webshots.com/user/skandarsonofadam

Also available now are great pictures of Skandar and his co-stars durinng the "Chronicles of Narnia" Japan Premiere. Some pictures from the Japan premiere are :          

More pictures of the cast at the Japan Premiere are available also at: http://community.webshots.com/user/skandarsonofadam 

                           ~yours, angie

Wow! Recently the cast from Narnia went to Tokyo, Japan for a press conference. So far, I haven't seen any other websites posting these pictures up so they are really really really new! As there are only five so far, I might as well post them here but if you want to see them larger, I've put them up in a new photo album which I am working (right now, the only pictures you'll see there are the Tokyo Japan ones as I don't want to post anymore pictures until I am totally done). You can go to the photo album by just pressing the photo album button on the navigation bar to the left.

                               

Recently, a new, detailed interview with Skandar came out. In this interview, Skandar shares his experiences in filming the movie with everyone and talks about what was hard for him to film and also gives advice to aspiring actors and actresses.

First, we have to know how Skandar felt when he got the role:

"I was on the bus going to school, and it was raining. They said they would call me on Thursday, and it was Friday, so I was down, not feeling too great. My phone rang, and they said, 'You've got the part!' They were yelling at me on the bus, 'Turn off your phone, boy!' so I said, 'Thanks! Bye!' I was cheering inside, though."

For the complete interivew, please visit: http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/entertainment/13854678.htm 

Also, Narnia received 8 Saturn Awards Nominations for this year's Academy of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror! It finished tied third for the most number of nominations with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Narnia received nominations for: Best Fantasy Film, Best Actress, Best Performance by a Younger Actor, Best Director, Best Writer, Best Costume, Best Make-Up, and Best Special Effects.

                                                                                              ~yours, angie

P.S. Sadly, Skandar was taken of the CBBC Newsround poll last Saturday as he had the least amount of votes. The least we can do for him right now is to go to CBBC Newsround (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_1640000/newsid_1647300/1647307.stm) and scroll down to the bottom of the page, where they have a blank box and enter his name. If enough people submit Skandar's name, he might be back on next week!

Sometime in February, Skandar will be starting up his own website so that everyone can visit him at his website. His website will be http://skandar-keynes.com So far, the website isn't up yet. Well, I found an interesting quote said by William Moseley (played Peter Pevensie) about Skandar and I just wanted to share it with all of you:

            mtv: Recently, you attented the premiere in London, with the entire Royal Family, now, what is that like? Did anyone have to coach you on how to behave around them, what you're supposed to do? Because, that's pretty huge for someone being from being from England.

            william: Yeah, I mean, It was kind of funny just because, you're meant to say to, His Royal Highness, "Good evening, your royal highness", and you're meant to bow, and shake his hand. Unfortunately, to my right I had Skandar, who basically plays Edmund, and he just stuck his hand out, and was like "Hey!" And I mean, you don't really address the Prince of Wales with just "Hey," you know, it was a little weird.  

           mtv: So what did you do? Did you have to like...kiss the hand?

          william: No! You do not kiss the hand! I mean, you don't know where it's been! I mean, please.

          mtv: That's true, good point, good point!

                                                    ~yours, angie

Hello everyone! Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. Well, for all of you that have sent me e-mails, thank you very much! It’s great to know your comments and I enjoy replying and reading your e-mails. Well, there is some new Narnia news such as since the Narnia cast (from Lion Witch and the Wardrobe) have all signed up again for the next movie (to find more about this, go to http://www.yorkshiretoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=55&ArticleID=1340219), they have already started pre-production on the next movie! They will be start filming later this year and so by 2007, the next movie will be out in theatres. Besides that, a new reliable script of the movie is finally out and as I read the first few pages, I know it is very accurate.

 

(Rain pours down outside)

Susan: Gas-tro-vas-cu-lar. Come on Peter: Gas-tro-vas-cu-lar.

Peter: Is it Latin?

Susan: Yes…

Edmund: Is it Latin for ‘worst game ever invented’?

(Susan slams the dictionary shut)

Lucy: We could play hide-and-seek1

Peter: But we're already having so much fun.

Lucy: Come on Peter, please! Pretty please?

Peter (smiling): one......two.......three......four

Edmund: What?!

For the rest of the script, visit: http://www.narniafans.com/movies/lww_script.php

Oh, and finally, if there are any fans here that live in Florida and will be visiting Disney World anytime soon, there is a new attraction at Disney World called “Journey to Narnia” where you can walkthrough some sets and see the film’s props and costumes up close.

For other great pictures from the movie, visit: http://www.jimhillmedia.com/mb/articles/showarticle.php?ID=1842

Well, that’s all the updates for now and please leave a comment! Thanks!

 

                         ~yours, angie

 

P.S. Please check out the Discussions section. A new entry that I think everyone will find very interesting is up so make sure to check it out and leave a comment.

P.P.S. Don't forget to vote for Skandar. He is currently losing to BOnnie Wright by about .5% and just needs a few more votes to prevent him from being booted off this saturday, when they count everyone's votes. Please vote for Skandar everyday!!!!! Vote for Skandar!

As everyone knows, Skandar goes to City of London School for Boys, a public boarding school. The school sends out a newsletter every few months and I found out that Skandar wrote a very short article about his experience in one of the newsletters.

 

“About a year ago, I was cast as Edmund in the film of “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.” As a result, I spent six and a half months filming in New Zealand. After the rather gruelling flight to New Zealand, I was promptly sent off to base camp in Hobsonville. My luggage was sent to my hotel but I had a full day of costume fittings and other tiresome activities.”

 

I thought you guys might all be interested in reading the article and so you can find the rest of it at:

                     http://www.clsb.org.uk/media/CityLightsWinter05.pdf

 

P. S. The article by Skandar is on page four.

P. P. S. I have added a blog section to the webpage where a “topic of the week” will be discussed and so feel free to stop by there and post your comment.

For those of you who are interested in sending Skandar a letter but aren't sure that you will receive a reply, one girl who sent her letter last year in December has already received a letter back from Skandar! So, if you write the address correctly and do everything that is required, you will probably get a letter back from him in a month or two. To find Skandar's address, go to to the Skandar Information Section.  I have also added an Affiliate section so that if you would like to become an affiliate to this site, please send your website and a button to me at musicgrl2168-narnia@yahoo.com Thank you very much! Lastly, Skandar said he would be starting his own website soon and so as soon as it is up, I will post it up so you guys can all visit his site. Well, that's all for now!

 <== thank you sooooo much to skandar_rox  for this gorgeous button! I like it a lot.

 <== new buttons for the website that i made! :] ==>

Once again, I would just like to give a quick thanks to all the cool people who sent me pictures, interesting information, and other things through e-mail. I really appreciate it. Well, I found a few other small things about Skandar which I thought were very interesting and so I have posted them in the "Did you know?" section, which is on the skandar information page.  They are the last three bullets on that section. Also, I found a quote from Miss Anna Popplewell (played Susan Pevensie) about Skandar and here it is:

"Skandar has these eyes that are really expressive and quite penetrating." (on Anna's first impression of costar Skandar Keynes)"

If you are interested about reading more about Anna and her other quotes, feel free to go to: http://imdb.com/name/nm0691600/bio (quotes are on the bottom of the page.)

Oh yes, lastly for all the people who live in the United States, the Oscar Nominations came out yesterday and Narnia has been nominated  three times for Best Visual Effects, Achievement in Sound Mixing, and Achievement in Makeup. Not only have they made the nomination list, but experts are also predicting that Narnia will win the Best Visual Effects category and Achievement in Makeup Category.   So, I will definitely be looking forward to that and when the results come out, I'll be sure to post them.  To see experts' predictions and cast in your vote on who you think will win the Oscars, go to : http://oscars.movies.yahoo.com/nominees/  (in order to see the experts predictions, you'll first have to  cast your vote in.) Oh, and thank you Barbie   for sending this bit of information to me!

After a request for more information about Skandar, I have added a new section named "Did you know?" on the Skandar Information page. I've posted some excellent and interesting facts about Skandar up on that page that I think you might enjoy. So, check it out!  Yes, as Anne  said in one of her comments in the Guestbook, I am working on the photo album ( I am re-uploading things onto a different page as my computer won't cooperate with the one currently up). Thank you sooo much for you patience. The following are some quotes from Skandar that I thought you guys will enjoy. I will also post these up under the Interview section although they are not actually interviews: 

Personal quotes

"When it's all over I won't miss the bruises he gave me to impress girls, or the occasional scar which will give me a story to tell my grandchildren, but I'll definitely miss the pranks and the laughing and all the making fun of each other. I'll miss the funky advice he gives me about everything -- football, girls, video games, clothes. Most of all, I'll miss having an older brother." (on costar, William Moseley)

"For safety reasons during the rehearsal we had to use a rubber ball, which has a really strange bounce that made it hard to hit. Then when we were finally using the real ball for the scene, Will bowled it wide of me every single time so I couldn't hit it. I was furious. Then Andrew started to doubt that I could actually play cricket, and he asked me to pretend to hit the ball for the rest of the rehearsals. On the next ball, I hit it as hard as I could. It smashed into some of our lighting, and the crew yelled, "Skan-DAR!'" (on the cricket scene)

"He's magical. He's great with children. Amazingly fun and cool and funny. Lots of hair too." (about director Andrew Adamson)

"When I first met Georgie, she was very eager to talk. Georgie is great. She's small and hilarious. To laugh at. I mean with - to laugh with."

"I can counter everyone but Andrew. One day, because he's always taking the mick out of me, I'm going to have the best comeback ever. I'm going to call him up thirty years from now and say, 'Hey, Andrew, remember when you said this? Well...'"

"Well, let's see. Edmund is the black sheep of the family, the outcast. He's always trying to get up to the level of the older two by putting down Lucy. He's very immature and full of resentment." - on his character, Edmund Pevensie, in the Chronicles of Narnia

Thank you to Heather who sent to me some excellent Narnia icons that I thought were awesome. I'll put these icons in the Fan Happenings Section too so you can find them there. Thank you so much Heather!  

                              

After some online surfing and research, I have found a few great sites that have a lot of information even though they are not a interview. Right now, I'll be posting one of them up here. This article is about the small goofs in the Chronicles of Narnia (I can't believe some people are so detailed that they can actually find this stuff) such as Edmund being slapped on the right side of his face, but then having a bruise in a later scene of the left side of his face. You can find the interesting article at: http://imdb.com/title/tt0363771/goofs. Enjoy!

P.S. Remember to Vote for Skandar!

It's Official! Another Narnia movie will be made. Due to the success of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Director Andrew Adamson has decided to invite Skandar, Anna, Georgie, and William back to film Prince Caspian. Though, Prince Caspian isn't the next book written in the series,  Andrrew wants the four stars to film Prince Caspian before they get to old or change too much to film again. This movie is planned to come out in 2007, for more information about this, click here. Personally, i think it will be really interesting and exciting to see who they will cast as Prince Caspian and the dwarfs. Also, i think it will be interesting to see how they portray the tree spirits and the other new creatures of Narnia in this next book (i think this film will as challenging as the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe since it also has a battle scene which has got many different creatures. also, the main characters have to learn a lot more stunts) Has anyone else read the book?

P.S. Check out the Interview section! I added a interesting new interview with the four stars of narnia, which reveals something very interesting about Skandar. Enjoy!

In case any of you were wondering, the new background music is an arrangement of the Narnia themes originally composed by Harry Gregson-Williams for the Walden/Disney film Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  The themes featured in order are: Evacuating London, Lucy Meets Mr. Tumnus, Narnia Lullaby, The Battle, and Only the Beginning of the Adventure.  The arranger, Karen Linkletter, is the cello teacher of Sucy Edter, one of the contributors to this site.  The instruments in the recording are digital representations of two cellos and a piano.  Enjoy!
