Filming wraps at Cleveland

28 Sep, 2009 04:49 PM
TWO days of filming at a 'closed set' in Cleveland were built into the Narnia schedule in case of bad weather, but nobody imagined it would be a record-breaking dust storm that caused cast and crew to abandon ship.

A set was built inside a vacant Cleveland warehouse as part of the filming of third Narnia film, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which has been based at Cleveland Point this month.

The cast began two days of filming on Tuesday in the warehouse, which fortuitously meant they filmed inside throughout Wednesday's dusty and windy weather.

On Thursday, the cast returned for their final day of filming - after the ship had to be cleaned from mast to deck.

Work to dismantle the 125 tonne ship and reassemble it on set at MovieWorld on the Gold Coast began on Friday and is expected to take about two weeks.

Media spokesman Ernie Malik said while nothing would remain at Cleveland Point at this stage, he was hopeful some remnant of the filming might be returned to Redland City after the movie was complete.

"I'll be curious to see what the council decides to do with the big cement base from the gimbal we used to manoeuvre the Dawn Treader and which we're leaving behind," he said.

"I think they'd make a killing if they built a carousel there, with a great view of the bay you could charge $1 a ride and make your money back!

"I have a couple of pieces from the set I'll suggest to the producer that might be donated back to the city, but we'll have to see what happens."

Mr Malik said all of the film's cast and crew wanted to thank Redlands residents for their interest and support.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is due for release in December 2010.
