Here is a great place to pick up movies posters. I've ordered from them dozens of times. You get your stuff within a week of ordering and they ship in VERY sturdy poster tubes. They have 30 Narnia posters, but no Dawn Treader yet.

If you're looking for the Dawn Treader teaser poster then head over to eBay. It's been sold on eBay for more than a week now. You can get the normal version of the poster for under $20, or if you don't feel like settling for that, then; there's the Lenticular 3D version of it, selling for $300-$400.

If you want the 3D poster, which I have to say is rather fitting, considering the movie will be released in 3D, then what do you do?Do you buy it now for $300 or do you wait and see if the price will drop?

Chances are that they'll get more expensive.

I bought my LWW lenticular poster for around $300 and that was pretty late in the game. Most of the posters had already been destroyed. Will probably get this too, can't see how I could possibly resist. Ah...

I got my VDT poster for free at a movie theater this past Saturday when I went to see Prince of Persia. It is really cool and bigger then I thought it was going to be on my wall. I loves it. ;) :D

I'm best friends with someone who works there and handles with the posters. He asked his friend while I was in the stadium if I can have one of the Narnia posters so she tried and gave me one.

It really depends on stock if they can give you one. It's alright to ask but sometimes there's no garantee.

Well, it's looking more and more likely that I'll end up spending a great deal of money on that lenticular 3D version of the poster.

my sources says that there are going to be less of them due to the movie being shown in the imax.
The preassure is on... :-s

Anyone know if there was a lenticular 3D poster made for PC? Never saw one...

Btw, why make a lenticular 3D version of a teaser poster? Does this mean there won't be any other posters for the film? Probably not...

I doubt PC has a lenticular 3D Poster.

VDT is still a good seven months away and I bet there will be another poster. The thing is is that it'll be a shorter version of the VDT banner and I hope by then Peter, Susan and the WW are gone from the poster itself. I'll still try and get the poster of it. I hope the ship is placed somewhere on it too.

You know most movie theaters, if you ask them, will give you a movie poster when they are done using it. After a movie leaves theaters they will just throw it away and they don't see any reason it can't go to someone who is supportive of their business.

Yeah, but why would you want to have a used movie poster? :D

Because you don't have to pay for it, and some of us are rather broke. ;)

That's the fun part Griffle! ;)

Why pay $ for a poster when you can get practically the same ones for free?

Also movie Theaters don't throw away their stock they keep it in storage. I've been in three and I live around six movie theaters and they have a lot of stuff. They even have tee-shirts with the movie prints on them. They are so cool, I have three of them

VDT T-shirts? :-o

2 days, 22 hours...

EDIT: 2 days, 14 hours...

Decided to give it a try and make my own VDT poster. I didn't have that much in terms of workable material, the press kit is still a good 4-5 months away, some of the layers are pretty rough and I'm not 100% sure about the lens flare (wanted a sense of magic to it), but I'm pretty happy with it. Let me know what you think. Just don't view it up close. ;)

Btw, the lion in the poster is not actually Aslan per se, but it does have a strong resemblance to him. Tried to find a picture of a lion that looked like the Aslan we know from the first two films. (Not the Aslan in the fold out poster display)

I know it's a bit busy with all the characters, but at least I left out the White Witch (if that's her). ;)

Griffle can you redo this poster for me without Susan and Peter and put RD next to Caspian. please?? :)

That's really good the only thing that I don't like is Susan beside Caspian.

Hehe. I'll give it a try. There's no good image of "Lilliandil" though.

Here's another version of the poster above: (with Susan and Peter)
