Scene 1: Aslan’s Command at the Lunar Gate

Location: Cair Paravel’s Ancient Ruins, Twilight
Time: Early evening, under a full moon

• Setting Description:

  • The crumbling stone ramparts of Cair Paravel stand silent beneath silver light. Overgrown vines snake around cracked pillars, and the waters of the Eastern Sea reflect the moon’s glow.

  • A spectral statue of Aslan—half-illuminated by moonlight—stands in the courtyard’s center, eyes closed in timeless sleep.

  • Camera: A slow crane shot moves from the ruined throne platform down to two figures—Eustace and Jill—kneeling before the statue.

     

• Characters:

  • Eustace Scrubb (Louis Partridge): Clutching a battered journal, eyes wide with anticipation. Dirt smudges his once‐neat school uniform.

  • Jill Pole (Sadie Sink): Hands pressed together, trembling yet resolute. Her hair is windswept, and her expression betrays equal parts awe and fear.

  • Aslan’s Voice (Liam Neeson, voice‐over): Resonant and echoing, coming from the statue.

• Action & Dialogue:

  1. Eustace rises slowly, voice barely a whisper:

     Eustace (softly):
     “Aslan… is it truly You?”

  2. The statue’s eyes flicker open in a low, golden glow. Aslan’s voice fills the air:

     Aslan (voice‐over):
     “Eustace Scrubb… Jill Pole… a great evil has swept over Narnia. Prince Rilian lies captive. You must go to the Wild Marshes. Seek Puddleglum the Marsh‐wiggle. Trust in the signs I give you.”

  3. Jill clutches Eustace’s arm, tears in her eyes:

     Jill:
     “We won’t fail You, Aslan.”

  4. Camera: Pulls back to reveal the broken gates of Cair Paravel, and the moonlit path leading south—our heroes set off, the statue’s glow fading behind them.

• End of Scene: Aslan’s statue returns to stillness; only the wind echoes through ancient stones.
