Today's Daily Mail confirms that Will Poulter (14) will play Eustace Scrubb. He was in the wonderful film Son of Rambow and is an excellent actor. He's blonde, quite small and a well spoken Londoner.

A good choice, he seems a very nice boy and I look forward to seeing how he works with Skandar.

Here he is in an interview.

He looks awesome! He is definitely Eustace. I haven't seen anything that he is in, but I can say that he certainly looks the part.

Will Poulter on the left. His face is perfect for Eustace

I hope this is true! He's not on imdb or anything else yet, but I will be watching for him.

Will Poulter, who has been cast as pain-in-the-butt Eustace Scrubb, the Pevensie children's cousin, in the next Narnia adventure to go before the cameras - The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader - which Michael Apted will direct.

Awful things happen to Eustace in this tale, but he learns. Will played Lee Carter, the scamp schoolboy in the film Son Of Rambow.

In fact, when I interviewed Will a few months ago I thought he'd be one holy terror, but he's a very likeable 14-year-old Londoner, and I was struck by his perfect manners.

In Voyage Of The Dawn Treader he'll join Ben Barnes, as Prince Caspian, and Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley, as Edmund and Lucy. Peter and Susan don't feature in this story - at least not in the one C.S Lewis wrote.

The second Narnia picture, Prince Caspian, had its premiere last night and opens next week.

He looks like a great Eustace!

Now that this story has been officially posted by Tirian on the front page, i guess its ok to reveal the fact that i (and fantasia_kitty) have actually known about this news for the past 3 days smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" alt="Embarrassed" />.

You may have noticed in the "Casting Eustace II" discussion thread, that a few weeks ago i suggested Will Poulter as a possibility for the role of Eustace. Well, 3 days ago i was contacted by someone called Ed Poulter, who is Will's older brother. He said that he had seen my forum post (it was the top google search result for "Will Poulter" and "Eustace" at the time) and that he was utterly amazed that i had picked his brother, because he had actually won the role just a week or so ago. He even wondered if i had had some sort of inside information regarding the casting process!

Anyway, despite my initial skepticism, i chatted to him a bit via email, and he provided me with sufficent evidence to convince me that he was indeed genuine. He even sent me a photo of Will that he had taken with his phone-camera, which was massively cool of him. He did though tell me to keep the information completely top-secret until it was officially announced. I had feared i might have to keep it to myself for months, but even after only 3 days i have been absolutely dying to be able to finally talk about this with everyone.

So yeah. Very very pleased to hear this confirmed. I wouldn't of suggested his name in the first place if i wasn't fully convinced he would make a perfect Eustace. smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" />

Oh he looks like someone I could picture as a brat complaining and being an utter pain. I look forward to seeing his acting. I've never heard of Will until now. I was very happy he's 14 because it was just the age I wanted. A little older than Georgie but younger than Skandar.

He also looks almost exactly as I imagined him, which is a plus.

Yeah, I know--two Wills!http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

Unfortunately, i seem to be the lone voice here: I don't really like him. He's OK but not what I wanted...*sigh* But then I wasn't thrilled with Ben either, so maybe I'll like him more later. Still, for me it seems that casting seems to have taken a downward turn. I just hope they get my favorite characters right. I think Will will do a fine job, but he's not what I pictured.

My only complaint is that he looks a little young. That's great because he looks like the age described in the book, but with all the other actors being older it might be a little bit of a contrast.

I'm excited to see what he can do!

I hope they get the relationship right between him and the Pevinsies and Caspian. Eustace was a little beast, but the other humans always treated him with the utmost generosity and chivalry (except maybe Edmund), and that made them look all the better and him all the worse. And made his turnaround that more poignant.

If Lucy lets him provoke her into snarkiness, I'll be really disappointed. Her character has to suffer him well.

Date Posted: June 20 2008 at 11:14am

Wow. He looks alot like Eustace. I haven't seen Son of Rambow, but from his character in that, it looks like he'll do a great job as Eustace. His does look a bit young. But then, he's 14 -- just looks young. Look forward to seeing him in Voyage of the Dawn Treader! smileys/smiley4.gif

I imagined him with black hair, but other than that, he looks very good indeed. He has the somewhat selfish face that will work for Eustace, but he looks like he's also very capable of showing the better Eustace he becomes.

Also, he looks about the same age. Remember the book saying that Lucy was actually bigger than he was? With how Georgie's grown, it will work just right I think.

As far as I know, I Love Caspian, he really is going to be Eustace. Tirian wouldn't mention it on the front page if he wasn't 98-100% positive about the news, and it's source, etc.

And several people (at least one or two) have talked to his brother, I think. So no, it isn't a rumour.

MinotaurforAslan~ I still think of him as relatively unknown, I had never heard of him before. And as far as I know he's only been in one or two other things. And Son of Ranbow is a pretty recent film (and is just releasing in the states). Besides, if I remember correctly, Anna had been in quite a number of films before being cast as Susan. And yet, not everybody knew of her as a household name til LWW. And Skandar had been in one film previous to LWW. So, yeah. Does that help?

As for me, I would have never thought of him. (not that I was researching actors in that age range) But from what I've seen in the trailer of his other movie, and in his interview, he seems like a wonderful choice! And he does look like he could be related to the other kids. I am excited to see how this works out!

Oh, yay! He looks exactly like I think Eustace would look. And here I was thinking I would have to wait until September or later to find out who would be playing Eustace.

Anyway, I'm going to have to watch Son of Rambow to see if he is a good actor, but from what I've been reading here, it seems like he is.

My guess is that they just don't know where the screenwriters are going with that and are covering themselves in case Peter and Susan do have a cameo of sorts or something. Nothing to get worried about http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

The only problem I have--he's 14. The age is a bit iffy for me, but he looks younger, so oh well.

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb and he almost deserved it.

On first glance, he looks quite nice!http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif" height="17" width="23" border="0" alt="Thumbs%20Up" />

But I'm sure I'm not the first to say that he's too old. It's just like when Moseley was cast. Fine for now, but what about in later films? It might turn out fine. We don't know how old he will look, which is all that matters. The main thing is that he appear younger than Georgie.

I'm expecting to like him in VDT, and boy that's a relief since he's my favorite human character in Narnia. We'll just have to wait and see what happens with the rest of the series.

As far as looks, I like his eyes but don't like his hair.... the only reason being that the blonde reminds me of David Thwaites, and I couldn't stand him as Eustace.

When I hear "Eustace," this is the first image that comes to mind:

For some reason I expected more of a "pretty boy" like skandar that had a scowl on his face but could be cute if he smiled.

I'm not sure if it's just the photos, but Will Poulter definitely has the beastly look of eustace down perfectly. He just looks so mean and somewhat scruffy (it may just be the haircut) that I can't imagine him actually being nice and pulling off the transformation of Eustace. As much as I dislike Eustace at the begininning of VDT, I just loved his character by the end and especially in silver chair.

Then again, when I first saw skandar he didn't really fit my picture of edmund either.http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif Now, of course because of his acting I think he portrayed edmund perfectly and I can't imagine anyone else in that role. I hope Will Poulter can do the same and win me over the way book Eustace did.

Ranger, he's supposed to be younger than Edmund and Lucy....if we are going by the books. In the books he is a year younger than Lucy. And Lu is about a year and a half to two years younger than Ed.

I agree that he has to be smaller than both of them....it would make him bullying them even more ridiculous if they towered over him. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

And I also think he is too old. But as others have stated, the important thing is that he can believably look younger than the other two. It should be ok....he looks young to me. And in LWW I could almost make myself think the four Pevensies were the correct ages. (although the Susaspian thinghttp://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Dead" /> in PC threw that out the window, making it obvious that the movie characters are a different age than book characters) Hollywood often does this sort of thing. For example in most(but not all) tv shows and movies about teenagers, they are played by people in their early twenties. And I know of some tv shows where the oldest child was played by someone who was younger than the middle child in real life. (examples: Home Improvement, and 7th Heaven) Does any of that make sense to you guys? Or am I alone in that way of thinking? (about how the Pevensies looked, and such. the last part of this paragraph was just to show that this isn't an uncommon practice to cast older kids playing younger parts than they actually are)

If they go by the book illustrations, it'll be pretty short. But I don't think they will, so s'alright.

I also think that his hair is rather short right now- I'd like it to be longer in the movie. Not too long, or shaggy or anything, just sort of long.

he looks different from how I picture Eustace and I am actually a bit disappointed. I am not saying he had to look as good-looking as the pevensies are as the he's not good-looking in the book. if they do get to film SC, in which ALL pevensies are gone, Eustace would be the only "old" star other than Aslan. I don't really think I can root on him as much as I did for the pevensies and SC is the film when audiences who haven't read the book may start to lose interest. I hope he proves me wrong though.
Anyway, I think he looks young enough for Eustace but he seems to be around the age when boys start to grow dramatically (like Skandar did in LWW) so he may look much different if they film SC... but I don't think LB would be filmed anytime soon, he would definitely look so different by the time IF they film it.

Excellent, excellent choice! I remember a slight sinking feeling when I heard about Ben's casting as Caspian (not because of his acting, but due to his age and looks not being anything like book Caspian - that's when I started to get worried about the PC adaptation) but as soon as I saw this Eustace news and saw the clips of Will I got an immense uplifting feeling.

He looks just like a Pevensie-relation, as Eustace should, and he seems a talented actor. And a far more appropriate age for the character than Ben was for Caspian. Couldn't be more happy about Eustace, and it's definitely giving me more confidence in VODT now.

I think he's got the bratty, sulky look down perfectly too, but as of now I just can't see him being likable as post-transformation Eustace. I hope his acting is as good as skandar's and he can win me over the way skandar's portrayal of edmund did so well.

Erm, I'm sure hair is the least of their concerns http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif. I'm just pleased they found such a good actor. There's plenty of time for them to ask Will to grow his hair longer if that's what they want. Since when are actors selected on their hair colour or length? That's why there are such things as wigs and hair dyes, if absolutely necessary http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif. Not that I think either are remotely necessary for Will.

I am not saying he had to look as good-looking as the pevensies are as the he's not good-looking in the book. if they do get to film SC, in which ALL pevensies are gone, Eustace would be the only "old" star other than Aslan. I don't really think I can root on him as much as I did for the pevensies and SC is the film when audiences who haven't read the book may start to lose interest.

I completely agree.

Who ARE these sources? The sources which we are basing our information by. I mean, the UK premiere just opened and they seem quite busy with that and other advertising/ interviews over the last few days or weeks. Going to premieres here and there. I doubt they actually sat down and chose Eustace. Such an important part. (correct me if i'm wrong but that's what it looks like to me)

Well, The Daily Mail is fairly reputable news source, I beleive, and that's where the story first came from.

I think I could actually get to love Eustace after his character change, if he adds to his dorky sweet smile some fantastic acting. I think everyone could if he does so.

Lamppostshines, I believe icarus mentioned that he actually spoke with Will P's brother and then it was published on a website called Mail Online. It's pretty reliable information.

If I understand correctly Casting choices are made by the director and the casting directors, both of which differ from PC, so while the PC team is off working on the publicity for the current film, they could well be casting parts for the next as filming is scheduled to begin in October.

I think he looks like a good fit. Should be interesting! smileys/smiley1.gif

I knew Adamson wasn't coming back for VDT, but I thought he is still the producer as well as Doug Gresham and Mark Johnson. Did the writers or anyone else in the production team change? I would hope that Adamson, etc still had a hand in picking Eustace.

Posted By: Lamppostshines!
Date Posted: June 21 2008 at 3:45pm

Yes. The casting person changed from Pippa to someone else.

I'm not saying that Will Poulter is a bad actor. He's just not the right actor for Eustace. I mean, sure he can play the mean part of Eustace. But I just don't see him playing the nice part of Eustace which I find really important in the book- or movie.

I'd prefer an unknown english actor rather than someone everyone else already knows. Like Ben, Will, Anna- not really for her but most people on this earth didn't know her, Skandar, and Georgie. Most people in this world didn't even know who they were till LWW and PC. Will Poulter is unknown to me too but the fact that most people know him is kinda a big deal for me. That's what I imagined them doing for Eustace, Jill, Polly, Digory and all the main children characters especially. smileys/smiley19.gif

I don't think he's too old. just because Eustace is 9 in the book doesn't mean that the actor has to be 9 as well. look at the actors they cast as the Pevensies, and Ben Barnes. all of them were older than the character's age, but I think that they still did a remarkable job. and I really don't think that having the actor older than 9 will drastically change how the LB turns out

What makes you think he's not an unknown? I've certainly never heard of him before. He's only been in one movie so far, an independent film that is only getting a lot of buzz on here because Will is in it. You qualify Anna as an unknown when she did Narnia, but in fact she was in far more movies than Will has been, most of which were studio films, not indy ones.

Trust me. I've never heard of this kid before and I doubt a whole bunch of people have either. He still counts as an unknown in my book.

Yes, all: Please be respectful. We may not like his looks, but I'm sure he's a tremendous actor. Which you have to be to be cast in the Narnia movies.

I'm so glad that they finally cast Eustace. I can't wait to see how Poulter plays the role. Can you imagine how excited he must be?

He does look a tad young, but he will grow, as others have said. And maybe that's what the filmmakers wanted.

Is Eustace younger than Lucy? I never quite gathered that. Which is funny, because I looked just the other day.

William is exactly what I pictured Eustace to be! Glad he was chosen.

I always thought that Eustace's age was between Ed's and Lucy's. When Edmund sees him after he is de-dragonized, he sees this figure that is "too small to be Caspian and too big for Lucy."

wow. havn't seen son of rambow, but from the clips it looks like he is a good actor. I am really suprised at how young he is (or looks anyways). I was afraid they would cast him a lot older. I think he'll make a good Eustace.

As far as what his age is supposed to be, I think the only place we are kind of told is in the Last Battle. on page 53 of my version it describes what Tirian sees in his vision of the friends of narnia: "Facing TIrian across the table sat a fair-haired girl [Lucy] younger than either of these [Peter and Ed], and on either side of her a boy and girl who were younger still [Eustace and Jill, as confirmed at the beginning of ch. 5]"

I agree- he doesn't have the "pretty" look of the other pevensies, but I think that was what CS Lewis wanted for a character he named Scrubb. He will probably do bratty great, but I'll have to see how well he can act to pull off post-transformation Eustace.

I'm sure that he will play the transformed Eustace to perfection. I mean, so what if he looks sour? That's how Eustace really was! And remember, in Son of Rambow, he doesn't really get the opportunity to be charming or nice. He's a mischievous cunning boy in that film for goodness sake!

Bottom line: Don't say he cannot act charming cause we have only seen pics of him being sour so far. Someone posted a couple of pics that showed him smiling and he was great in those!

I think it'll come down to his acting with respect to whether he will make eustace a more likable character the way skandar did with edmund. I agree though, that Eustace is a pretty pivotal character. Audiences will have to really like him to want to come back and see the silver chair. He will have to win them over the way the pevensie kids were able to.

I agree nightingale7. It was probably a lot easier for the Pevensie's to win over people because there are four of them, and even if you didnt like one, you could like another. I think its going to quite a challenge for one boy, and theres a big chance he wont be able to do it, but it is definitely possible. I wish him the best, and am hoping to see a great movie.

I am not very familiar with him. But from his picture, it looks like he would work well as Eustace. As long as he does not have a sudden growth spurt, he will be fine as Eustace Clarence Scrubb. Obviously, he will not be portrayed as the tween Eustace of the books, but that's all right.

Was Eustace much younger than Lucy in the books?

I hope they get the relationship right between him and the Pevensies and Caspian. Eustace was a little beast, but the other humans always treated him with the utmost generosity and chivalry (except maybe Edmund), and that made them look all the better and him all the worse.

If Lucy lets him provoke her into snarkiness, I'll be really disappointed. Her character has to suffer him well.

Agreed, they have to be natural and not over-the-top with their distaste for Eustace at the beginning. Georgie can be snarky to him offscreen. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif I really hope Michael Apted directs this well....I can see what the kids will miss with not having Andrew directing.

I agree! You guys aren't alone. me too! But I had quite a lot of a lesser problem with Ben Barnes as Caspian than with Poulter as Eustace. Basically, I preferred the casting of Barnes at that time then Poulter. The casting person changed. That's the problem. But time will tell.

They don't seem to have any nervous smiley faces. Too bad. I really never imaged him Eustace. And I think his hair cut is too short.

he will be too old in LB, they don't make the movies in one year, that is the mistake we are making. think about it , it takes 2 yrs to make ONE narnia movie! so he is 14 now , when VODT is done he will be 16, when SC is done he will be 18. and when LB is done he will be 20! that is way too old! they seriously need to think before they just cast people, cause they MIGHT find someone who would do good for Eustace, and they won't be able to recast! im not saying that Will P. (ha now we have to do initials! lol) is a bad actor , just not for Eustace.

How about we call Will Mosely "Will" and we call Will Poulter "Will P."

What do you think?

well, he only looks about 12, so I think he'll be fine for VDT, but he might not always look younger than his age, in which case they'll certainly have a problem. Although they did use Will M. and Ben even though they were 20 and 26 and playing younger characters. (I thought they only looked a year or two younger than their actual ages, by the way). So yeah, I 'm worried too.

It's probably a good thing Peter won't be in VotDT or SC, so there won't be the confusion over names.

We could call this Will "Will the 2nd"? http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Tongue" /> J/k, I like the suggestion of Will P.

And yes I really wouldn't worry about his age. He looks considerably younger and really, audiences are well accustomed to seeing older actors playing kids. I thought Will and Ben looked about 16 & 17, myself. In the case of Will he was just acting older --very stony-faced and serious. In the case of Ben, he kept being wide-eyed and naive --making him appear quite young.

I'm sure Will P. can pull off a similar illusion.

I need to watch clips of his acting, though! Can't wait until filming gets underway.

From what I've seen so far, this young man probably can do a good job playing Eustace Scrubb. Eustace is my favorite character in the Chronicles. I don't think he will disappoint. Totally looking forward to seeing you on the big screen, Will Poulter!!

He does seem a little young, but then, he is supposed to be younger than Lucy. He definitely looks as though he could play the bratty cousin very well, and he seems like a nice guy, so the switch from brat to Narnian should be smooth. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how he portrays Eustace and how he interacts with the rest of the cast, especially (as EITRH said) Skandar.

Yeah, I've seen that quite a lot too. And the lines of Will P.'s face are such that I think he'll be good-looking when he loses his baby fat, his jaw gets bigger and his teeth fit his face, and all those things that happen when someone gets older occur. Also, have you seen any pictures of him really smiling? here:

He's actually a cute kid when he's acting nice. He looks so nice, I'm sure he could be a good Eustace, and a bad one, from the clips of Son of Rambow that I've seen.

It's funny because I always pictured Edmund with blond hair (Probably because of the BBC films) and Eustace with black hair... now its going to be the other way around. But when I saw Will P I was like "Oh, THAT'S Eustace!" he fits the part even better than my mental image of him did, as weird as that sounds.

I think he could be very good.smileys/smiley1.gif I have to ask... is he smaller than Georgie Henley? Because in the book he was younger and smaller than Lucy, and I think that made it kind of funny. I was in a play where I was the smallest person and was the bully.smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" /> It worked out quite well
It's nice to hear that he's a good actor because Eustace I think will be a difficult roll, as you have to play good, and "bad".

Good luck Will,

Why couldn't they use Pippa Hall again? I think WP will do a good job...wondered if they screentested him with Skandar or Georgie as well?

Based on the trailer of Son of Ranbow, he's clearly shorter than Georgie is now. HOWEVER, I have no idea how much he's grown since then. I would really love for him to stay smaller than Georgie throughout this movie. But I don't care how much he grows for SC.

Reneerose, Nina Gold did the was the casting director for Eustace at least. Haven't heard if she's doing the whole movie or not. If you haven't seen it yet, check out our cast and crew page (link at the top left) cause she's on there. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I think there is a good chance that Will and Georgie will be the same height but Georgie is a tall girl and should be taller than Will. He will probably have a growth spirt like Skander did between LWW and PC.

Okay, I'm too lazy to look this up, but I thought that Lewis actually described Ed and Eustace with black (or brown) and blonde hair, respectively. Pauline Baynes illustrated them the opposite way, which is why a lot of people imagine it the way you do. Maybe I'm confused though.

Same here. When I first saw skandar- I remember thinking- that doesn't look like Edmund; he should have blond/light brown hair like Peter. However, his acting was so good that now I can't imagine anyone else as edmund. Now with Will P, I always pictured Eustace with dark hair. If his acting is as good as skandar's then I'll probably change my mind too.

As far as I know Eustace is never described as having dark hair (if he is I need to add that to the character profile), but like ~Lady Liln~ said, Pauline Baynes drew him with dark hair and so a lot of people envision him with dark hair. I only ever picture Eustace as being horribly out of shape. Either in a scrawny way (like the book says) or somewhat heavy.

According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia, that is actually a mistake.

Paul Ford wrote:

However, he [Ed] is not the man with the golden beard and wise face. The old Collier rack-size paperback edition of LB (1970-1994) accidentally omits a line in Chapter XII 48, 8, that identifies this handsome man as Lord Digory. Edmund is not described in LB.

Hope that makes sense.

And his hair... I was really riled up about Peter's hair color change but with Eustace I like the color he has now. I never paid much attention to Pauline Baynes' illustrations when I was a tot but I did watch the BBC version so I have always envisioned him with that light brown or dirty blond hair.

I'm pretty sure Eustace has dark hair, but Edmund does not. Look it up in LB.

C.S. Lewis describes Ed as having a "golden beard flowing over his chest".

According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia, that is actually a mistake.

Hope that makes sense.

Yeah. Well when I was reading LB just last week I went through and checked them all out, and I didn't even consider Edmund as having the beard. So...

But yeah hair color shouldn't matter to much (there are exceptions) because if the actor can portray them very well, then that's what's important right?

Yes, that's the main thing.

I'm wondering how Will P. will handle apologizing to Ed after Aslan renews him. I think it would be the most difficult thing to act, wouldn't it?

Hi all,

one of the reasons will was chosen was that he's a well spoken kid who can genuinely adapt his charachetr so easily, he's been doing it since he was 2, imitating people constantly etc. He had a very hard seen in Son of Rambow where he had to effectively breakdonw and he smashed it...the entire crew stopped and applauded. He'll be fine! :(

filming has been delayed a fair bit now, which is a shame.

Hey everybody,

I've been lurking around here on and off for a couple of years but I just had to join in order to squee about Will Poulter.

I have seen Son of Rambow. It is awesome. Will is genuinely one of the most compelling child actors I have ever come across. And I can assure you, he can do sweet as well as stroppy. During Son of Rambow, his character gradually softens and he does it so beautifully - I can tell you, I was crying buckets! In fact, his character in Son of Rambow has similarities with that of Eustace, in simplest terms, that both stories are about a bad boy who turns good.

I have also met him (completely randomly whilst out shopping) and spoken to him (I know - squee!!) and he is absolutely charming. He is quite little and cute but definitely old and mature enough to go well with Skandar and Georgie.

Anyway, I am so excited!! I can't imagine anyone I would rather have as Eustace. This is a piece of pure casting genius. To all who have said "looks like a good Eustace" just wait 'til you see him act! Get hold of Son of Rambow and you'll see what I mean.

But in the books, it talks about how "Eustace could not even stand up to Lucy, much less Edmund." So it might be a good thing if Will is shorter than Georgie, it will off-set the differences between Scrubb and the Pevensies even more.

Poulteren, I know you mentioned that filming has been delayed. Does anyone know when it's scheduled to actually begin? For some reason, this fall is lurking in the back of my mind.

I wonder if Will Poulter has met with Georgie and Skander yet?

I think Will is going to be simply divine. I cant wait to see Son of Rambow too.

I personally think that Will Poultry...oops, I mean Poulter (*coughgymfan15cough*) certainly has the looks for Eustace. I'm really excited for him! I have a feeling they found someone special here. I can hardly wait to see him with Georgie and Skandar and Ben! http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" />

Eustace's interactions with Reepicheep are among the best moments in the series and I can't wait for that. ^^

In the interview posted on Word of the Street, Will Pouter says he is only three feet tall. I think that that is much shorter than Georgie, despite the fact that he's 15. And that's good IMO. that is how it is in the book.

NarniaManiac, he is not really three feet tall. He was just exaggerating to make a point about being small for his age.

Georgie was four feet tall when they began filming LWW, grew about four inches during filming, and is now over five feet tall. As we would expect, since she is now 13 years old.

I suspect they won't make a big point of Eustace's being supposed to be younger than Lucy - it will be obvious he's younger than Ed anyway. But we want him to be old enough to be a boy hero in SC.

Anyway, Georgie has grown a lot from the beginning of LWW till now so there is still a huge chance that Will will be shorter than her. And you're right, let's play he'll grow taller by SC... although, it wouldn't be too bad if he was shorter than Jill. I don't remember how it was in the book, but having Eustace shorter than Jill would help illustrate their relationship in the beginning.

Okay, Will has said in an interview (see Word on the Street) that he's under four feet tall.

So he's definitely shorter than Lucy. The person who plays Jill now needs to be really really short and extremely skinny, like a fairy almost. But of course, this fairy will have Jill's attitude, which is far from ethereal. lol

I dislike the idea that he is so short. It won't bother me as much in VotDT but in SC if he is shorter then jill i don't think i will like that. Sometimes boys don't grow until later but i would rather he wasn't four feet tall. Actually i would rather him be closer to five and a half at the very least.

We will see.

I don't know whether Will Poulter fits what I thought eustace would look like (mainly as i was thinking of the pictures in the series) but I think he will do a great job as Eustace. He wouldn't have been picked if he couldn't, and have felt tht all the actors so far have done a great job.

Has anyone noticed that if Caspian had of been cast as a 13 year old, Will Poulter would almost have been older that him http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley3.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Shocked" />.

I only saw him in a short preview (I know, head of the Scrubb club and I haven't watched Son of Rambow yet. silly) but I saw from only about sixty seconds of film of him that he was a superb actor. I think critics will like him again, and this time more people. Hopefully VDT will give him a boost in fame so we can see him in more movies!

i heard someone on this thread said his character has a breakdown in son of rambow and goes from bad to good. could someone please verify and explain it?

Posted By: Radiance
Date Posted: September 08 2008 at 1:24am

Spoiler:

Well he starts out as a bad kid, pulling all kinds of crazy stunts, (his actions are likely related to his absent parents and bully of a brother) then as the movie goes on he finds a friend in Will proudfoot (played by bill milner), the only boy at school who doesn't hate or fear him. His breakdown scene is the climax of the movie (intense acting on his and bill's part) but i dont think that's exactly when he becomes nice. I think his change is gradual throughout the film. But in the end he has undergone a change of heart and cares for other people and such...you really must see the movie. It's brilliant. i bought it nearly 2 weeks ago...i'm not going to mention how many times i have seen it, but i have analyzed it way too much smileys/smiley17.gif....i tried to keep it short though!

hope that helps you some edmund's girl :)
Oh! and i think Will Poulter is a great choice to play eustace, i'm excited!
loved his acting in Son of Rambow....when he has to be angry he looks it, but
when he smiles you can't help but smile too smileys/smiley1.gif

Will plays a bully / outcast called lee carter…who’s a bit messed up as his dad has left and his mum has moved to spain. His older brother and most of the school bully him and as a result he’s a rebel and seemingly doesn’t have a care in the world. As he becomes friends with a quite, very religious boy his lighter, kinder side opens up and by the end he’s a much nicer character becuae of this new found friendship. I can assure you he’ll boss it.

Okay I just went on imdb and watched a few clips of Son of Rambow. I had to watch them muted because my baby brother fell asleep on my lap. However the lack of sound did not inhibit my perception of Will's acting talent, but rather enhanced it. I was forced to pay close attention to his movements since I couldn't hear him spaek. Will' gestures were all perfectly natural; so much so I could not believe he was acting!

Every time I watch a clip of him I become more enthusiastic! Coupled with Michael Apted's directing I think Will can make this movie the best Narnia film yet. I hope it gets good marketing, because if we get that we'll have a great chance at a real blockbuster.

It was released here in the US (I remember critics raving over it) so you should be able to get it from Netflix or perhaps buy it from Amazon.

be warned that it's a very english film in that it evokes a lot of nostalgia if you grew up in england in the 1980s....and as a result quite alot of americans didnt quite get it!

Oddly enough, it's playing in a few cinemas here as a new film! So I will try to get to a screening. If not, I'll have to see whether it's also being hired out at dvd shops.

He's definitely not the Eustace I imagined but that doesn't mean he can't work out smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue" /> I haven't seen Son of Ranbow so I don't know if he could be a good Eustace.

He's going to be almost 16 by the time they start filming.... I assume that they're going to make Eustace much older than he was in the book?

He’s far from a celebrity in our eyes,..although narnia will change that. He’s a very sensitive quiet kid to be honest and I don’t think anything will change him. He doesn’t get recognised much, I’ve scene him get asked to sign something once in public and that was outside a cinema when the film was showing. We’re a relatively close family and me and his older sister (we have the same dads, but differenet mums) keep him and the youngest in line!

When I first found out about Will being cast as Eustace, I thought it was a great choice.

That movie was brilliant! And Will pulled off being the bully, but also a loveable character. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif" height="17" width="18" border="0" alt="Clap" />

Anyways, I just have to say, I think he's going to do a fantastic job, and I'm more excited for Dawn Treader than ever before!http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

It does matter how he looks if he doesn't fit with the rest of the group. That is all i want. I want him to fit with the rest of the group and if he is five feet tall he won't fit. His height is my only worry at this point. I know that sounds stupid but it will bother me.

why is this a concern? is eustace meant to be tall? gimli the dwarf in lord of the rings is played by an actor who stands more than 6 foot tall. hardly anything that you see in modern day films is reality....

Posted By: hoped4jill
Date Posted: September 30 2008 at 6:11am

Well, I asked because of Jill's height...like would it be possible that I could be Jill. Because the shorter Eustace is, the less likely (I thought) that I would be Jill.

I don't think they are going to change it to make him look taller like they did for gimli in LOTR. It will just annoy me if he is shorter then everyone in the next film and in LB. It won't matter as much in VotDT because he is supposed to be a couple years younger.

Of course, i would rather that the actor did a good job playing the character then was the perfect height. I agree though i do not want eustace to be shorter then jill so they will have to think about that when they pick a jill.

Not intending to be mean or what not, but I personally don't think Will is perfect for the part. Am pretty sure he'll do a decent job, but he's not what I imagined. I imagined a dark haired boy- like Edmund- who could look really mean and really nice when needed. Don't get me wrong, there are few people out there who can actually do that. Still, i think we have to wait and see how he does in the role of Eustace.

Are they going to make him wear a wig or something? smileys/smiley5.gif idk... smileys/smiley9.gif

Whether we like it or not - and we do have a lively mix here - it comes down to the creative vision of a handful of people and their idea of who Eustace will be on the big screen. I've no doubt Will Poulter did well to represent that Eustace.

Yeah, I've said it before. Eustace is my favorite character in the CoN, so I am kinda sensitive how this will all play out. smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" alt="Embarrassed" /> But I wont lose sleep over it.

I gather Will is a growing young man and could even go through a substantial growth spurt like Skandar Keynes did while filming LWW - six and a half inches. smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" /> I suspect Will's height is really a total non-issue.

I've been wondering if he will be voicing anything for the dragonish Eustace.

Probably "fatter". The actor who did dthe BBC was rather heavy-set, so I always imagined Eustace as plump. However, in the books Lewis says that Esutace is a skinny, weak fellow. Will seems to be just normal, which is great and I don't think it'll make a difference with anything.

no offense to anyone or the poulters, but I can imagine Will playing the bad side of Eustace, but not the good side. I think its because I imagined someone else. The changing of Eustace's heart is pretty unique and hard to act out so, I'd understand if they portrayed him in a different way.
Is it just me or I tend to be overly negative? smileys/smiley5.gif

Otherwise for the nice part, Will should do fairly fine as eustace. Maybe the director will 'paint a different picture of him' idk... smileys/smiley9.gif

Will Poulter has more experience now than Will Moseley and Georgie Henley did before they got the part in LWW. He has the same amount of experience that Skandar Keynes did when he got the part in LWW. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif Will Poulter also went through the same crazy round of auditions that the Pevensie kids did.

I think this is Eustace related- feel free to stop me mods if not- but...

Will the filmakers have Eustace swear in the movies?

in SC, Lewis mentions that Jill could hear Eustace and Puddleglum cursing a bit as they plunged to the Underworld on all those sharp rocks.

And there's a point in LB (I'm not sure about this as in SC) where Eustace actually swears. (of course, not one of the coarser swears).

So will they keep that in the movies?

And that is also off topic. This thread is for talking about Will in his role as Eustace and how you think he will do.

Any conversation on his personal life falls under the topic of gossip and is not permitted on this forum. Please return to the topic at hand. Any further posts on that line of conversation will be deleted.

In regards to the swearing... I can't see them doing it. With the PG ratings pretty muched maxed out because of the violence level, any swearing would probably send it into a PG-13 range. That and there hasn't been any before, so I hope they don't have Eustace swear.

Back on the real topic...I think Will is quite short for most kids his age. I think that's great for Eustace!smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" />

Will Poulter is a great actor. He was hilarious in School of Comedy (though it is VERY inappropriate, very profane and lots of suggestive material).

He's the first reason I can't wait for VotDT.

Eustace could look about the same age as Lucy in VDT, especially since Georgie Henley has grown so much even between the finishing of filming PC and its release, but in LB when they could be back together again will this be a problem? Will Will P. look older than Georgie or about the same? Do a few years matter?

If eustace was only in one film it wouldn't matter how he looks. The problem i have with will being short and looking young is that while it won't matter in this film but if he doesn't grown and age well with whomever they get to play jill. I think in SC eustace needs to be taller and look a little older like the pevensies did. I also think jill may end up looking taller and older in LB then eustace and i don't like the idea at all.

I could be wrong. He may hit a growth spurt. I don't know. He may be a great eustace. All i know about him right now is how he looks so that is all i can comment on. I am willing to give it a chance though because he may end up being great and i wish him good luck.

Will they portray Eustace's bourgeoning interest in botany in the movies? I think that would be a fun part of his character to show. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

PS: I think they'll easily find a girl who's kinda underheight and very slight to match Will. I'm glad that he's not so tall. C.S. Lewis does describe his characters as ~~skinny/short~~ "fun-sized" (I'm that body type and I know how it can hurt when people treat you like you're younger than you really are or make a big deal about your height/weight. But now I'm used to it, and I like it. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Tongue" />)

I think the casting for Eustace is perfect! Because though during Voyage of The Dawn Treader he can be a rather hateful character, he's quite awesome come Silver Chair. So you can't cast anyone perfect for His mean side but unable to portray the kinder Eustace.

Having said that, I am very happy with the casting.

Botany? I thought it was zoology. Not that he necessarily likes the bugs he collects - it is more like stamp collecting for him.smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />

I think Lewis' description of Eustace doing things like collecting bugs, reading about "fat foreign children" etc show he liked only facts, things he could keep at a distance, control, or be objective about. I think it suggested he didn't have a warm family relationship (couldn't even call his parents Mummy and Daddy), and maybe he really didn't know how to be friends with people. And don't forget that at his school, all the children were known by their surnames - which was normal for boys' schools but not girls' ones.
The film-makers may make this point in a different way.

Once he returns to Experiment House as a different boy, I am sure he sees and feels things quite differently. That's why he is more sympathetic to fellow-victim Jill Pole. In the environment of power and control that they are at school in, they are the beginning of a change for everyone.

EDIT: Botany is the study of plants. The book says "Eustace Clarence liked animals, especially beetles, if they were dead and pinned on a card". That's the zoology half of biology.

I actually meant when Lewis mentions Eustace being fascinated by a kind of plant on the last island in VDT, and in LB too I think. The botany is more of an interest he takes up after his transformation.

Though of course I hope they keep his pre-transformation fascination with disgusting things in the movie, too.

"Those who force their own character onto other characters and those who immerse themselves into other characters"

I wonder which one is Will?

I'd venture to say the scond kind. The second have a better skill I think, but the second get legendary since their character is always around the same.

So I checked out his imdb profile and what do you know, he's in another big role! I think that he's perfect for this role and I have no doubts about his acting ability. At least that's a promising outlook for VotDT!

i completely agree. William Poulter's height cannot be that tragic to the movie. If it is so, it should be an easy problem to be fixed as there is only so much taller a girl can be. and if jill is tall, i'm sure what peter jackson did in lotr could be duplicated. no worries smileys/smiley4.gif

This is a interesting comparison, as I do like John Cleese too.

Will Poulter was not awarded the BIFA for Most Promising Newcomer, but I would say the nomination is a significant nod of approval from respected professionals in that industry.

I agree with you.
I think he was chosen as Eustace by also his appearance not only for his acting skill.

Will P. is perfect for Eustace!

Well, I'm rereading VDT with images of Will, now.smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />

Congrats to Will on making another nomination!

He totally deserves it.

I think he and Skandar Keynes will shine in VDT. It's going to be interesting how they portray the cousins' relationship. They'll both do very well.

I would love to see how they do the heart ro heart when he comes back human. I think WIll seems to like hugs, so he may want to hug in that scen! that would be cute. Or he could hug georgie when he gets back from the conversation between him and Edmund

Yes. I can imagine LUCY hugs Eustace after that conversation.

I want to see that.
It would be lovely.

I don't know whether Eustace or Edmund hug each other,
but I think Caspian, Captain and other ship mates will shake hand with Eustace...
It's like a man kind gesture of friendship? ... I'm not sure how to say...
It will be after the conversation or, at least, when he and his cousins leave DT with Reepicheep.

I dunno about Ed and Eustace hugging.. it's just not what tween/teen boys like to od.

Maybe on the way back to camp Eustace could slip on the beach and Ed could hold out his hand to help him up?

It would be symbolic.

I had a question, how did he get the part in Son of Rambow ?? I mean how did he become an acotr ??

According to http://thecia.com.au/reviews/s/images/son-of-rambow-a-home-movie-production-notes.rtf - the production notes ...

Will Poulter, 13 years old at the time, recalls the exact moment he heard about the film, “I was in English class”, he laughs, “And suddenly this note was pressed up against the window by my drama teacher urgently mouthing ‘Audition, Audition’ through the glass. I got past Round One and met Susie Figgis at her house to talk about the role. Then I met Garth and Nick at their Hammer & Tongs canal-side office and they were very nice to me. I didn’t think much of it actually, it all passed in a haze. Then my mum got the call saying I had the part of Lee Carter. I went from not believing her to ecstatic in about ten seconds”.

And Will talked about it on an interview by http://www.popcorn.co.uk/page.asp?partid=724 - popcorn .

Let's talk about both your solo stuff. Will, I've seen some of your comedy sketches with School of Comedy. Is School of Comedy still going?
WILL: Yeah, it is going. We're filming it in a few weeks for Channel 4. We're doing a pilot for Channel 4, which should be on soon. And hopefully it might extend onwards. The director Laura Lawson, she's my drama teacher, and she put me up for the audition for Son of Rambow. So it's thanks to her I'm in Son of Rambow and in School of Comedy as well. It's all really thanks to her.

I don't know how Will got the role of Eustace.
But I'm sure Son of Rambow and School of Comedy leads him as actor/comedian.

Well, I think I hadn't posted my thought about Will as Eustace yet.

At first time, because I didn't like his appearance so much, when I read about him on Narniaweb-news, I wasn't sure he is good for Eu.

My image of Eu was from illustration of Pauline Baynes.
But I didn't/don't care about his hair color at all.
I thought Will had a too round face for Eu, and too annoying.

But after reading some interviews of Will and watching some clips from SoR or SoC, I felt I was wrong.
Will is so nice kid. He has a good smile.
And his face is not round now...

I'm thinking he is very few young actors who can perform both side of Eu.
And it makes me looking forward to watch VDT more and more.

Date Posted: December 29 2008 at 8:02am

I agree, PeaceAndLove. He has great acting skills. He can look, oh so sour if wants, but when he smiles you just want to know him so badly! I hope the director is good so Eustace can really connect to the audience, so they'll want to come back for SC...

Speaking of SC, if Walden is really commited to the series, do you think they could have Will film both SC and VDT at the same time so their release dates can be closer than the last Narnia movies' were? It would help the franchise if this happened.

Heh, yup! The dragon part ought to be pretty emotional.
Guess they'll have to use that device they used in the BBC version, of course - with his thoughts being heard by the audience, since the dragon can't speak aloud.
Only, being a CGI dragon, they'll be able to convey his emotions a whole lot better! smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" />

I always don't like thoughts said out loud. It's cheesy and it sounds too much like Eragon. I think they could do the dragon scenes without him talking.

Maybe the audience could find out that Eustace is a dragon along with Lucy, Ed, and Caspian. but it's just as easy to show Eustace turning into a dragon without him speaking.

I don't want to hear what Eustace the Dragon is thinking or how he feels!
If we could hear the thought of the dragon, we had to hear all thoughts from Eustace.

I love all talking animals in Narnia and Draco in the Dragonheart, and I haven't watched Eragon yet, I don't want talking dragon. (I want them faithful to the book.)

They have to show us how horrible for a boy to become a dragon (though he could fly and helped for DT crews), without any voices from the Dragon.

Lucy P. wrote:

I like one year interval for release date best.
Filming close date is not only for franchise but also good for Eustace's age.
SC was a few month later from VDT wasn't it?

But I don't think they could film both at the same time.
If they planned so and were already ready for SC as much as VDT, they could.
And because of young actors' age, I don't want them to wait for film until SC is ready.

May be they would become ready while filming VDT, then film SC soon after VDT.
But I don't like to keep young actors away from school so many months.

I think he is a good choice for the Pevensie's cousin, Eustace. He looks like Scrubb for sure. I saw a little bit of him in the son of Rambow, he was a good actor. I would also like to see how the scene will be when he is talking to Edmund after Aslan changed him back to human from a dragon. I am looking forward to The voyage of the Dawn Treader. Too bad disney dropped it... smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" /> but i think Walden Media can pull it off without them if they find another partner.

Dreamerlily- he doesn't even have to provide the voice for the dragon if that's the way they decide to do it. CGI take care of everything.

Of course we are all wondering how his performance as the reformed Eustace will be like- that will make or break the role, and perhaps the entire rest of the series (who will want to see a movie entirely about a character they don't like?)

And welcome to Narniaweb NarniaFan101 and Dreamerlily!

oh, along with confirming that Ben is staying with VDT, the new LA Times article says this:

The book is said to be far more commercial than the last installment, being more of a classic boy's seagoing adventure story, complete with fantastic sights, dragons, wizards and sea serpents, not to mention Eustace Scrubb, who I hear on good http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-narnia1-2009jan01,0,3925428.story - authority is one of the most inspired rotten kids in English literature.

Let's hope the scriptwriters and directors can do the character of Eustace justice. I know Will Poulter can.

Now that Will's 16, I'm a bit (or a bit more than just bit) sceptic. Let's just hope they'll start the shooting very very soon.

Interesting choice. I'm looking forward to seeing him much much more than I was seeing Ben Barnes as Caspian.

I'm glad they didn't go with some "child star". His roles in films hasn't been abused. What I mean is, he isn't just some typical English child that stars in all the second rate fantasy films.

All I'm looking for in his performance is that he feels genuine. All four Pevensie children's performances feel genuine, they don't feel fake or typical. Hope he will be the same.

Can't wait!

I wonder how old Will will be in SC and LB? He's 16 now, so if they go on scheduling Narnia films every two years, he'll be 17 by the end of VDT, 19 by the end of SC, and 21 at the end of LB. It's rather old. I hope they do the films every year now so that he will be younger.

Lucy P.: Do you think they will film LB after SC?

I had thought they will film in publishing order, simply because I used to read in that order...

Anyway, I think filming LB after SC is best for young actors, now.

May be, if Will would be 21 in LB, it became more adult as PC.
I think it's OK for THIS film series,
and Will will look young for his age.
But younger is better.

[EDIT]:
Will didn't win NSPCC award, but (off topic) Tilda Swinton won BRITISH ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE at the London Film Critics' Circle Awards.

I think he'll be great as Eustace.

It would be best if they could do the films every year now, cause 21 at the end of LB is kinda old.
But then again, they know what they're doing.
I don't think we have to worry about Will being too old for the last movies.

Welcome back poulteren!

Will is really great actor. He can't go on acting without winning award soon. I really hope he brings one to VDT. Narnia could really use some good awards. Especially after PC.

I wonder how Will will(<lol) get along with the other kids? He seems to be an amiable person.

I remember when this was first announced,

by his look I thought h looked perfect for Eustace.

Still,

I decided to check Son of Rambow just to see how his acting was.

The movie itself I didn't care for it.

But as for Will,

he did a brilliant job and I believed further still that he'd be perfect for the role.

Definately can't wait for the movie and see his portrayal- I love his character's arch much like Edmund's.

hi nanrnian1....first of all son of rambow is not just for kids,...it has many adult themes and the fact the film is set in the 1980s and where the film gets much of its humour from is testament to this. if anything the film has been enjoyed more by adults than child audiences and, was nominated for a bafta (a film aimed purely at children would not receive such recognition). it has been a common misconception by american audiences,...primarily due to the fact that you guys don't seem to get the humour, and judge this dvd / film by its cover.

true,

it wasn't just for kids,

I will remove that from my original post to avoid further confusion.

however I did understand the movie, I just didn't care for it.

And why generalize?

I don't like people generalizing all americans,

saying we don't understand this or that movie.

I've seen many british movies and understand them very well.

the point was trying to make was that Will Poulter is an excellent actor and perfect for this role. end.

Americans do get dry humor. Look at Napolean Dynamite. ('Twas an American movie chock full of dry humor. And look at the Monk TV series. Just a few examples). It's true that not all of us don't get Brit-style humor, but not all of us have taste for crude humor. Though I admit to wanting to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Embarrassed" />

And I agree that Will is perfect for Eustace. I've not watched Son of Rambow because my parents prolly wouldn't allow it, but I can tell from just the previews that Will is good.

Welcome back poulteren! I haven't yet caught Rambow, but will try to locate it over here.

I am more or less accepting that VDT is going to be a young teens' movie, with three teenagers playing older child characters (playing them as sort of young teens with no specified age). With both Skandar and Will in their mid teens, and Georgie at 13-14, they can't pretend to be close to the book ages, but they will work together better than if one was a lot younger.

Any news on shooting dates?

Will Poulter looks the part, to be sure... I don't think anyone doubts that. I can imagine him with a good English sweater and pants, and then changing into a Narnian perfectly. I never watched one of his movies, but I think he will do fine in acting. Ben Barnes got right into it, even though he was acting with 4 actors who had gotten extremely close in the previous film, and Ben Barnes looked as if he was perfectly comfortable with them. If Will Poulter can pull that off, that would be great, in screen and off (and yes I can say "in screen"). I hipe, though, that Georgie and Skandar accept Will like he is a real cousin and acting partner.

In Christ,

No, he's / they are given it before each scene – so they don’t have to memorise it all…..same with all films. They're not allowed to see it before they arrive because they then have their own vision of what their characther should be like.

Posted By: Lucy P.
Date Posted: March 10 2009 at 10:12am

Hm, that's a strange way of going about things. I should think the actors would act better if they had their own idea. But maybe the directors need the movie to come together cohesively and they need the actors to act exactly as they need them.

This makes me wonder if Georgie has been allowed to read the books.

In answer to your second question, Edmund P., I've only seen a couple of clips a few minutes long of Will Poulter. However from those clips and the fact that he was nominated for an award for just his first cinematic performance tell me he is very good.

If the actors form their own view of the character they are playing then they’ll act difference to how Michael a. wants them to and the film has no cohesion.

Not just one award, three or four now…. admittedly he lost out to dev patel each time, which is a little annoying. If you want to see will in more stuff type in school of comedy in to youtube, he can do comedy as well as sad….type in son of rambow too. In the one of the last scenes will grabs the other kids and the scene is very emotional, his performance was so good, the entire cast stopped after the take, and applauded.

The final scene in the move is him crying in a cinema,…he had to shoot this scene on the same day as the first scene in the movie where is very happy. This was the first day filming and both garth and nick knew they were going to be ok! Cool no?

hi, no worries....guys,...why all the continous debate / worry about will's height!? It makes no difference on camera...they can make him as big or as small as they want. The example i give time and time again- lord of the rings, the actor who -plays the dwarf ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722636/ - John Rhys-Davies ) is 5 foot 10 plus! Will i s a small kid....he'll be smaller than them all bar lucy....but just to reitterate height does not matter...look at Tom Cruise...he seems normal in all his films but he's tiny! (5'8)

Posted By: Bother Eustace
Date Posted: March 16 2009 at 9:39am

I don't mind his height so much, so long as he seems... well, i hate to say it, but wimpy. They need to make him appear frail and cowardly, but that is mostly in the costume and makeup department. His height doesn't matter too much, so long as he's not giant or anything.

I think his height does matter. It is different then in a Tom Cruise film where he is the main character and usually does films that have no sequel. I want there to be a sequel to VotDT. I want them to keep on filming. I think that in this film, VotDT, his height is less important as long as he is taller then Lucy. The thing is if in any future films I don't want him to be shorter then Lucy or Jill. In LB, I want him to be a similar height as everyone else.

Eustace isn't the main character in the CoN though VotDT is his story but Eustace should sort of fit with the group and if he is too short I don't think he will fit with the group. The thing is he is now what, sixteen?, and still rather short.

I am willing to give him a chance though. He may be a great Eustace and then maybe the height won't bother me as much. I hope so.

Wow this thread is hopping now! VDT excitement is rising.

He is short for 16 but many boys keep growing on through their college years.

I agree with poulteren that height doesn't matter. If he is still short, it'll be easy to find a same height/shorter girl to play Jill.

Jill is supposed to be utterly tiny and skinny. Eustace doesn't have to be huge in comparison. In the books they were both supposed to be (frankly) scrawney and undersized. Intrepid twerps, but still twerps.

I actually think Will's a little too strong-looking, but his height is perfect.

edit: to add to poulteren's list of short guys playing tall roles... Keifer Sutherland is 5"9'. Not too short but not the height you'd expect Jack Bauer to be.

Blimey,… the director can make him as small or as tall as he wants… for example…bigger shoes for everyone else and flat soled for will. So many ways to do it…..it’s down to Michael. Gimli in lord of the rings is testament to this. But my main point here is that will is not tall! He’s tiny for a 16 year old….

Someone above said will is close to 5’11…he’s nowhere near…I’m 5’11 and I reckon he comes up to about my chest. I would estimate he’s about 5’5. He’s one of the 3 smallest in his year at school. So chill…all will be fine height wise!

Tell him that he can use sunblock under his makeup base (like I do for outdoor acting work), plus a decent broad-brimmed "Aussie hat" for off-camera.

I am a freckled gal, product of Welsh/northern English parents + NZ sunshine. Freckles are supposed to be a sign of beauty - maybe this isn't any encouragement to him?

Besides Georgie has freckles and they're playing cousins so they'll look more alike that way.

Beyond freckles....

One scene I am really looking forward to is the sea serpent scene. First of all the idea of pushing the sea serpent instead of stabbing it is cool!

And secondly it's kind of when Eustace "earns his stripes" and does his first brave act. Ineffectual, perhaps, but still courageous. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

I'm sorry, but I COMPLETELY disagree. He is the best actor that I have ever seen. He's a great -albeit a little rude- comedian, and in real life he's the "politest 15 year old I've ever seen", according to an interviewer. Of course, he's 16 now =). But really, he's such a wonderful actor and Eustace didn't really get fully described in the books, like the other humans. It's kinda open to how he looks like if you ask me! In SOR, he was nominated for a BIFA, and recently he was just nminated for a Young Artist Academy award thing with Bill Milner. He's perfect, in my opinion, though I understand you don't really think so. It's fine. We'll all just have to see when VODT comes out, won't we then?

How cute that Will has freckles, he's adorable! I'm so glad that Queensland is official. I wish Will P. and the rest of the cast a safe and happy filming experience. I hope to see some pictures of him with Skandar and Georgie later this year.

I may sound melodramatic here, but Will captures my attention in Son of Rambow like only a few great actors have ever done. It may seem early to say this since he's so young, but that's how I feel. He surely has great potential.

Thank you, poulteren, for staying in touch with Will's growing number of fans! http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif" height="17" width="18" border="0" alt="Clap" />

That's not too short at all!

Besides, he'll probably look a few inches taller onscreen without anybody even trying to make him appear that way. My friends ran into Anna Popplewell at the Metro Museum of Art in New York the other day (and yes, I was jealous http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Tongue" />) and they said she's quite a bit shorter than the films make her appear.

Believe it or not, that's actually a bit taller than I'd like Eustace to be (Will is the same height as me!!!), but I've got to get over my impression of book age because all of the characters have been aged up a bit. I'm just so excited to see Will as Eustace. http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Big%20smile" />

Yes, Will seems a bit tall, but in VDT he is described as being smaller than Caspian yet taller than Lucy. So I always imagined him perhaps just a bit shorter than Edmund, which he is! He looks like a perfect Eustace, a little mischievous yet nice, which is important since he has to pull off being a brat and then a hero! Overall, I am very, very pleased how VDT is working out! Go Australia !

I really don't know anything about Will's ability to act or anything about him. Some people have said he's a great actor, and some said he's awful. I haven't seen Son of Rambow, so I don't know...
He looks like a good Eustace to me. Kinda the way i pictured him, with blonde hair. I've only seen a few pics of him though. But whats important if if he can pull of being nasty and making you wanna punch him, then you just love him in the end! This is my 2nd favorite book, so lets hop they do it well!

I finally saw Son of Rambow last night and Will Poulter blew me away for a kid in his first film role! I think he is going to make a great Eustace. I wish he was still as young as he was in Son of Rambow, but his good acting cancels that out.

thanks for the video poulteren!

He's grown a lot since Son of Rambow, that's good!

from BBCNews:

Bill Milner and Will Poulter received the best comedy gong for Son Of Rambow. Poulter, who is studying for his GCSEs, said: "It’s kind of weird, I was doing science revision this morning and now I’m here."

Kind of reminds me of the Pevensie actors studying on the set. School and acting mixed.smileys/smiley36.gif

After seeing and hearing him at the Empire Awards...
I'm relieved that his voice isn't deep. That was one of my main concerns.
He still seems too tall though. Eustace should be a "puny little person." It's one of the things that makes the character so delightfully irritating.

Apart from that, Poulter looks like the perfect Eustace.

They are not going to CGI is height though. If he is too tall or too short that is how it is going to be. He is too old though i guess all the actors are too old. I still think he could be fine as eustace.

What's the big deal about Eustace being taller than Lucy? Guys tend to be taller than girls anyway, so I don't really see an issue. And just because somebody's younger doesn't mean they have to be shorter. I'm 2-3 inches taller than my mom smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" />

Poor Will. First we say he's too short, then he's too tall! Sheesh.

Anyways, I don't mind if he's any taller than Lucy. He won't be much taller at any rate. Edmund and Caspian are both rather tall (Ben is 6'1", Skandar is 5' 8"). So Will will be very short in comparison. As of now Geogie is all of 5' 2 1/2", and she might have grown since peple have seen her last.

I am glad he grew a little. I thought he was too short. He still may be too short in the long run or they will just have to get a short Jill.

I know that it is possible to do camera tricks to make him look a different height but i don't think they are going to do that. There are also some shots in LOTR where they cut and pasted the hobbits into a shot. It was different with the hobbits and the dwarf though who are supposed to be shorter then humans. He is a human so he is just going to be the height he is.

I think it is just hard to get used to the idea that all of the characters are too old. At this point, i just want them to look consistent. Since they raised everyone's age i want them to be consistently raised.

True! Will was selected from all the other boys who auditioned - he is the one they want. They will have taken his possible growth into account.

I rather suspect they will not make a big thing about how old the children are meant to be. Lucy has her own dignity and maturity which will be shown in stark contrast to how Eustace will behave.

I'll start off by saying that when I first heard about this choice I thought about it a few minutes and decided that I though Will was perfect to play the role. And now after seeing some clips of his acting I am even more sure. I'm not going to let something like his height get in the way, as long as you get the impression that he's really a weak kid it's fine. And still his personallity is much more importaint than his age/hright. I can't wait to see him perform in Dawn Treader, and Silver Chair, and Last Battle. smileys/smiley1.gif

ROFL. It SCREAMS Eustace to me! I don;t think height is that big of a deal. He's 5"5/6-ish. and Georgie's shot up. Besides, it says in the books "it was too big to be Lucy...". So he's bigger than Lucy, right?

Yes, but C.S. Lewis said he couldn't stand up to her in a fight.

I don't know if that's a discrepency or if he meant Eustace was no good at fisticuffs.

Anyways, the quirk at his mouth in that pic is so Eustace! It's my favorite of Will yet.

They'd better keep him from smiling in the movie until after he's redeemed, because everyone loves his smile. I feel like a fangirl saying thathttp://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Tongue" />, but it's true.

I think Will Poulter is going to make a great Eustace. He has exactly the right look! I've seen "Son of Rambow" and his "School of Comedy" sketches (you can find the sketches on YouTube if you search his name). I think he's a great actor and he can pull off the character.

However, I am worried a slight bit about his height.

The line from "Voyage" where it says, "he was a puny little person who couldn't have stood up even to Lucy, let alone Edmund, in a fight" isn't my issue. I think he looks a bit puny, and the line meant to me that he doesn't have muscles and didn't know how to fight, not that he was necessarily a tiny person.

The thing that bothers me is that the height, if he is taller than Georgie, will make Lucy look younger than Eustace.
I know very well that in real life, people who are younger can be taller, especially boys. My brother is two years younger and is almost a whole foot taller.
However, in movies, height is a way of showing age. In movies, if someone is taller, the audience assumes that the taller person is older, especially with children. Eustace is definitely younger than Lucy, and I'll list the two references below.
Therefore, if he is taller, they might have to change the two little references to age, just so the audience isn't confused. I wouldn't get terribly angry about that, but I would notice and be a trifle disappointed.
Anyway, here are the two references to his age (and forgive me if they've been mentioned before, I didn't dig through the whole thread to see if it's been said before):
1. "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," Chapter 16, "The Very End of the World." Aslan says to Edmund and Lucy that they are not coming back, "'You are too old, children.'" Therefore, if Lucy and Edmund are too old to come back, but Eustace isn't (because he does come back), Eustace is younger than both Lucy and Edmund.
2. "The Last Battle," Chapter 5, "How Help Came to the King." Eustace is explaining to Tirian about how he and Jill got to Narnia. He says about him and Jill, "we're the only two who are still at school" and later, "the older ones" referencing Digory, Polly, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy.

So, his height is only a minor issue for me because if he looks older than Lucy, they're going to have to change two tiny details. But for the most part I think Will is going to do a great job!

Odette, they won't have to change detail #1, because in the movies they say that the children "have learned what they can from this world" instead of saying they're too old.

And eve nafter Eustace goes through his transformation he has a lot to learn from Narnia. Ed and Lu? Not so much.

I think that's what Lewis meant by saying they're too old, anyway.

Lucy P., I agree that Lewis perhaps meant that Edmund and Lucy had learned enough from Narnia. But the lines from "Last Battle" clearly state that Eustace is younger.

And you're right that the original "Prince Caspian" says that Susan and Peter were too old. So, switching the "Prince Caspian" lines in the movie is precedent for switching the "Voyage" lines from book to movie.

I don't really care if they change those details, I just wanted to point them out.

I still think that Will is going to do a great job with whatever script is handed to him!

I know the filming starts in summer but it will inevitably go on into the school year. I wonder how he will squeeze studying in his schedule. It's been rather tight for the Pevensie actors I know.

Actors under a certain age have to spend quite a lot of time studying, as far as I'm aware. Also, they aren't allowed to film for as long. I'm sure Will will have lots of time to study ... probably to his disappointment. I'm sure he'd rather be shooting a scene than studying mathematics (hey, I'd rather be! http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" alt="Tongue" />)

Don't worry, I understand your a little cautious. But if you are a bit worried, do you know the bit near the end on Son of Rambow where he's crying to Will Proudfoot and defending his brother and that, to me shows a lot of emotion and range of ability. But you're entitled to your own opinion, so I won't argue.

I think he is an exceptional pick for the part of Eustace. There's a lot of talent packed into a boy that young, he should pull it off extremely well --- and hopefully carry it on through "The Silver Chair", which is my favourite in the series.

Goodbye poulteren! Thank you for your news and we enjoyed conversing with you.

In the lastest N-web report by Odette, Mr. Flaherty says:

Eustace is one of the best realized characters we've had in any film—the writers and Michael Apted have nailed Eustace the same way that Andrew [Adamson] really understood Lucy.

This makes me glad because I felt Lucy was the character they understood the best and who was closest to the book.

I am pleased to hear they are going to be more faithful to the book and that Mr. Apted understands the character of Eustace. I look for ward to seeing him go from brat to a kinder boy. I really want it to show him as a kinder boy when he gets redeemed and his struggles with who he used to be and occasional slip ups. I am confident now they wiht have the conversation Edmund and Eustace had when Eustace comes back human. Look forward to seeing the positive changes in Edmund since LWW and the positive changes begging to take place in Eustace. I am still concerned about what they will do with Lucy's hair but I am trusting God to make sure it stays long. It really would be good if she had long hair.

I am so excited for EUstace and am probably even thinking "There I have another Name" will be in there since i read it was going to eb faithful to the book.

I really do want EUstace nightmare ot be of who he used to be and for him to cry and I would like a crying scene when he is talking to Edmund when he comes back human agian and crying when Aslan restores him.

It is highly unlikely that those who are actually making VDT picked Will for his looks alone. The producers would know better than most that looks alone are not enough to fill such an important new role.

After looking at, and evaluating all those who auditioned for Eustace, it's obvious that the producers thought Will would do the best job of acting out this role for this important new character. It was probably a mutual decision based on professional experience, knowledge, and a degree of intuition.

Now, it is also obvious that not everyone is looking forward to Will Poulter as Eustace. I am one who is among those who are. I think the track record for picking the right actors and actresses for Narnia's beloved characters have been pretty good so far. Some would say outstanding or great. A few would no doubt disagree.

My own opinion is that Will has both the looks and the acting abilities necessary to portray Eustace and I for one wish him the best in bringing this character to the big screen.http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif" height="17" width="18" border="0" alt="Clap" />

It's a book for goodness sake,..how he loks is a little down to description but the rest is imagination. Just because you envisage something different doesn't make it wrong. the kid is a superb actor and will nail this role. The producers of the film will use everything they can, wigs, make up etc to mkae hims as "Eustace-like" as they can.

Eustified, you seem to be worried that the character of Eustace will be dumbed down. That's beyond Will Poulter's control, as he can only play what the scriptwriters write. He's not even allowed to read the book for goodness' sake!

However, in the quote from Mr. Flaherty I posted above, it seems that they have got Eustace's character down, and I know that Will can do a magnificent job of acting it out.

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you completely. But having the privalege of getting to know him just a bit, he's the type of person who's completely honest, and if he doesn't like something, he just won't say anything about it. If he says he thinks Eustace is awesome, he means it. He's not just saying that because he has to. smileys/smiley2.gif But that does not mean that you or I will agree with him in the end after we see the movie.

He looks waaaay differenet then I htink Eustace would have looked but I AM looking forewardto seeing him play Eustace.

I think he looks like what I imagined Eustace looking like in The Silver Chair. I always imagined Eustace as kinda chubby in VDT and taller and thinner in SC.
I am more worried about acting, than I am about about looks. So I think he will do a good job and I hope we get the chance to see him in SC and LB.

I think he'll do a great job. He just has the aurora about him that screams "Eustace!". http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifhttp://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

Height doesn't really matter, but I think he's slightly shorter than Georgie. And, in my mind, he's PERFECT FOR EUSTACE. I read some where he's quite shy... but who says he can't act??? Just watch The Son of Rambow.

Of course, if you disagree with me, that's fine. You have a right to your own opinion. However, I have complete faith he'll do a good job and I hope to see a lot of him in the movie! smileys/smiley32.gif

@Happy Giant

Yes, but Will has more than one brother.smileys/smiley1.gif
And we know that poulteren is genuine. Although I don't think he has gone to Queensland too.

EDIT (after poulteren's reply): Okay, so I am wrong smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" />. Giant, you will have to sort out the mystery yourself.

I think skander would be in Queensland to since they can't really shoot many scenes with Lucy and Eustace in them with out him.

hi guys,

wow the enthusiasm is great!

i'm will's only brother, (he has has two sisters - his you nger is out there with him).

i'm not there but heading out from 28th aug until mid sept.

they're all getting on really well, (skander and will especially). they're both big arsenal fans which is one similarity (that's a football team in london for those of you from elsewhere)

will's really enjoying it now, but is exhasuted.

anyway, take care all,

bye!http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Likewise, Poulteren, thanks for the updates. If Will and Skandar get along too well, shall they be separated? smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" /> Looks like they are having absolutely lovely weather too!

I know I'm a little late (I didn't know you were on here), BUT I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE SOMEONE REPRESENTING WILL ON NARNIAWEB AND I UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY SUPPORT HIM...sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now... ; )

I'm REALLY glad to hear that...I had a feeling that the more mischievious actors (you all should know who i mean) would get on well...will and skandar are close to the same age...I know some had been worried about cast dynamics...thankfully, things seem to be going well in that arena...and I agree that skandar and will are REALLY going to need that REAL connection when eustace tells ed of his "conversion."

I'm back from camp. Soooooo....
(reads 1st post on thread): 'I'm IN conversation'? that's so embarressing... smileys/smiley9.gif . I just wanted to point it out and correct it.
But back to the point of this here thread: I'm here to rave about Will Poulter Getting the Part of Eustace Scrubb, yes? So here i go:
I know he'll do great. I've been raving to my family about how 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader is going to be the best movie ever'! (okay, that may be going a little to far as the film hasn't even come out yet).
EustaceGirl- I dunno. Some mischivous people don't always seem mischevious until you really get to know them. And with others it's obvious.
Poulteeren- smileys/smiley1.gif Yay! I can't put my happiness and joy into words! I'm so excited! I feel a squee coming...

hi guys, sorry for no replies, been very busy. will isn't mischievous, he's very funny and constantly joking, but I wouldn't call him mischievous, ....he's very well behaved.

i don’t know what they all do together. they've been to a water park and surfed...other than that i don't know. i am heading out on friday night and can't wait to see them all. wont be in brisbane until 3rd september as heading to sydney and cairns first for a bit of a holiday. it's skandars 18th birthday on 5th september. got him an arsenal shirt.

anyway, i won't be replying for sometime, ...back in 3 weeks!

bye!
