hits.

LA Times reports that FOX has agreed to step in on the next Narnia installment “Voyage of the Dawn Treader”.

Twentieth Century Fox has agreed to co-finance the third movie in the “Chronicles of Narnia” series, pending approval of the final script and shooting budget. If all goes as planned, Fox and Walden Media, which controls the movie rights to C.S. Lewis’ classic children’s books, hope to be begin production on “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” by late summer so it will be ready for holiday 2010 release

That’s right. They plan on start filming it late summer 2009 which means our dear Bin Bons has plenty of time to embark on some other projects, which leads me to ask you: What roles would you like to see Ben play?

Also, I have added this new picture of Ben from November 22nd, at the Make a Wish Christmas Ball thanks to Stephanie.

Since I’m also a big fan of everything even remotely related to Jane Austen, I would definitely vote for Ben as the new Darcy. He could even ask Colin Firth for some pointers ;o)

Thanks for the update girls!

I think we are all looking forward to the see Ben as a King! :)

I agree with all the other opinions ( to see Ben as a vampire ) but i would love to see him in an action movie too.

As a villan maybe ( i think he would be the sexiest villan ever, and would be the first time that most of the female population would be on the villan’s side! :P )

Ben needs to be a vampire…come on, look at his looks, he’s positively yummy!! I do vote for Aro, a small but pivotal role. As for something else. Hmmm. How about something that isn’t fantasy, or historical? He’d be great in a more modern day comedy-romance.

BTW, thank you for keeping up an awesome site.

First of all, thanks for such an amazing site girls!
I agree with Step- I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan, and think Ben would make a nice….hm. Let’s see. He WOULD be a good Darcy, but it’s unlikely they’ll make one anytime soon, since they just made one…He’d make a good Knightley, maybe a good Henry Crawford? I can’t see him playing Edmund.
And, of course, Aro in new moon!
He WOULD be good in a modern day romantic comedy. Or what about as a rogue police officer/ detective? I’m still working on that theory!
OK, got a question for Von and Tar, in an article I read, they speculate that Dawn Treader may come to Aus. Have you heard anything to this nature???
PS Does anyone know if he has a girlfriend yet? It’s a pity Kiera Knightley’s taken! OF course, I’d send my own nomination in (who wouldn’t?)

He would be a perfect Aro but i’m not sure any more if they will take Ben as Aro because they are not talking about it. They are only a lot of news about Dakota Fanning as Jane!!! =(((( And what is with Ben/Aro?
Why are they searcing first for Jane?? =(

I really hope that Ben will play Aro. He’s perfect for that

What role would I like to see him play…? That’s a loaded question. Perhaps the role of a pool boy name Gustavo, scooping out dead leaves from the water, sweating from the hot summer air, shirtless. Now, I just need to go out and get a pool installed.

I don’t mean to be rude–I really LOVE this website ,but for Ben fans that need their “daily dose” of Ben–there are some cool pictures that I found of Ben on benbarnessource.com from a BAFTA photoshoot and one taken at the Rome Film Festival and of course Benny looks fabulous !! No offense benbarnesfan.com but Ben seriously looks totally hot and his fans should see the photos. I know you guys are totally busy and sometimes don’t have the time to update.
