The poster looks really beautiful. It seems like they're trying to target the film to an older demographic than I originally thought.
CAN. NOT. WAIT!





PS I'm sooo happy to be back on the forum! I've been at camp all summer!

God I hope this is better than that made-for-TV one we watched in class it was so bad we started laughing at it.

Here's the first trailer for the Bridge to Terabithia (Direct Download):

Just finished watching the trailer and it looks cool, not to mention it looks like it could be big.

And for those wanting to see the new Walt Disney logo in some other form than attached to a movie at the cinema, it features partially on this trailer.

Here's the source for the trailer

Wow, that looks awesome! I can't wait to see it! Thanks for sharing

To ne honest, I was surprised, maybe even shocked, by the trailer.

Having read the book, I wasn't really expecting anything more than a simple low-budget teen adventure movie that could've been made into a t.v. movie on Nickelodeon.

But based on the trailer, they're actually trying to approach an epic fantasy on the likes of Narnia. Which certainly means they're having to change a lot the book, or at least add a lot more, mainly to the concept of "Terabithia".

While I'm more intrigued about it than before, can't say I'm at all excited.

Here's a link to the Bridge to Terabithia, Prince Caspian and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe behind-the-scenes news report.

Seeing the trailer has me excited for the movie. I read "Bridge to Terabithia" when I was in middle school so I will be excited to see how the movie turns out. Also, great news on the Chronicles of Narnia. From the interview shown it sounds like they plan to make all of the books into films. It doesn't surprise me really, I just wasn't sure if they would make all of them into films or not. Awesome news!

How many chronicles are there? the only one i had ever read was the lion the witch and the wardrobe

There are seven books in total. "The Magician's Nephew", The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", "The Horse and His Boy", "Prince Caspian", "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", "The Silver Chair", and "The Last Battle"

I loved the entire series, I would recommend reading them all.

I cant wait, I saw my first trailer for it the other day and it looks great, not at all what I was expecting...

Ditto, except I'd read them in publishing order:

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle

Yes, Escapay so nicely listed them in the order they were published, the order I gave is their "intended reading order" or "sequential order". You can read them in either way you choose. Either way, they are all good!

Well, the chrono order isn't necessarily the "intended reading order" either. Lewis himself thought he'd just write one book (LWW), then eventually began writing others, each one believed to be the last.

And "The Magician's Nephew", IMO, should *never* be read as the first, as it was written as a prequel that assumes the reader already read the first 5 books. There's references in TMN that allude to LWW, and if read first, would give LWW less impact than it should have.

It's a half-and-half thing between fans choosing to read in publishing order or chronological order. Given the fact that Lews wrote them in publishing order, each book expected to be the last only to be succeeded by another, I always choose to read it that way, merely because at the time, it was intended that way. Others often choose the chronological order simply to have a much more linear story that goes from point a to point b without having to go to the unexplored and unknown point c that occurs somewhere before point a.

I should try reading them in publishing order next time. Someone told me that chronological order was the best way to read them, but I'll try the other way next time and see for myself.

Man, this doesn't sound like any Bridge to Terabithia I've ever heard of.

a fantastical land of walking trees, sword-wielding insects and an evil Dark Master

You mean they've made a fantasy epic out of it? Eww.

from the trailer it seems terabithia is predestined to be to narnia what zathura is to jumanji.

Here's trailer 1 in more sizes and better encodes:

Looks like Buena Vista have changed there file naming again, don't forget to Rename or you'll be saving e30015_b2w.mov and maybe wondering what it is.

Enjoy!

Went to an Advanced Screening of the Walden Media/Walt Disney production of "Bridge to Terabithia" last night and was so disappointed that they have taken a book and turned it into an uncalled-for fantasy/adventure with lots of noisy CGI creatures and things.

Starring Josh Hutcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, Zooey Deschanel, and Robert Patrick, the movie only follow the general premise of the book until the two adventuresome childhood friends cross a creek on the way home from school.

The story in the book has no fearsome metal-clad monsters or sword-wielding troopers. It is a story of two young kids from different sides of the tracks, who participate in child-hood games at school and become friends.

I won't go into the spoilers, and stuff, but I will tell you that this film does not stand up to "Narnia" in any way, and it is way to short (95 minutes) to tell this story properly. It is beautifully photographed and the needless CGI effects are wonderfully produced, but it takes away from the true meaning of what this story is about.

I would rate this film a sad 2 out of 5 stars.
