So... though we only see three statues, there were originally seven total? What in Narnia could destroy four such massive statues? They don't have gunpowder or explosives. A simple sword fight surely could not damage to the point of destruction huge stone statues. I don't see these as being the seven lost lords for several reasons.
1. Why do they have crowns?
2. And why depict them as headless, for goodness sakes?!
3. Why build the statues at all? What was the motivation for whatever people where behind this? It seems to me that there would have to be some sort of a "Seven Missing Lords Cult" for such huge statues to be built of them!
This may sound like a completely silly question, but: Did they do the actual filming of the "Belltower" scene right there where the pictures were taken, or did they shift all those bells and statues from a seprate area to this warehouse just for the public's tours? 'Cause it doesn't look like there is much of a set right there. I guess it could be mostly greenscreened. But where would the other four statues have stood? There doesn't seem to be anywhere where they might fit in. Maybe they would be digitally added too (to facilitate their destruction)? If so, then how did Nicolas Greening know there would be seven of them? Was he told that by a member of the crew/somesuch, or did he just assume?
Those rocks sure do look exactly like Moreki boulders to me, Icarus. I like the looks of that. A very fanciful, imaginative addition to any island set, I'm sure.
