Odds and Ends Roundup
Okay—here's something completely different: an article from the Village Voice about Narnia- and fantasy-inspired fashions! The "wardrobe," indeed!
--------------------
The Age (Australia) has put together a very thorough article on Douglas Gresham—including some very up-to-date biographical details and quotes about what Gresham hopes to see accomplished through and with the Narnia film. This is probably the most complete article on Gresham we've seen.
--------------------
If you enjoy smart-ass snapery, check out The Guardian's Narnia A-Z. Just remember, this is The Guardian (UK), so don't expect it to be too Narnia- or Christian-friendly.
--------------------
Via The Observer, The Guardian has also published an excellent guide to the Irish countryside that inspired the terrain of Narnia!
--------------------
The Star (Malaysia) is running a pretty up-to-date and entertaining article about Weta Workshops, the craftshop that made armor and weapons for the Narnia and Lord of the Rings movies, among other productions. It's good to read about Peter Lyons, in particular, a genuinely nice man. Stuff (NZ) also has a talk with Weta head Richard Taylor, another genuinely nice Kiwi. We have yet, in fact, to meet an unpleasant Kiwi.
--------------------
James Cosmo, who plays Father Christmas in the Narnia movie, is a welcome new voice in an article running in the SundayMail (UK). Swinton and McAvoy have been all over the place for months, so it's hard to read comments from them and feel you're hearing something new. Cosmo, though? That was nice.
--------------------
Did we just say what we did about Swinton? My my. The Detroit News actually does have a few new comments from her!
--------------------
MyrtleBeachOnline is running a reprint article reminding us all of the influence that George MacDonald was on Lewis and Narnia. If you just found yourself saying, "Who?", you should read this article.
