Buena Vista International (Australia) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Rod Hopping from Heritage
HM to manage the marketing and
promotional activity within the Christian Community
in Australia and New Zealand for ‘The Chronicles of
Narnia:
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’. “The Chronicles
of Narnia:
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe,” the first in
an exciting series of films in the making and based
on the phenomenal bestselling novels, concerns a war
between good and evil, pitting the magnificent lion
Aslan against the forces of darkness in the magical
world of Narnia.
A White Witch has used her dark powers to keep Narnia
in winter for 100 years, but it is foretold that four
humans will be able to help Aslan break the spell.
When the Pevensie siblings – Lucy, Susan, Edmund, and
Peter – discover the magic of Narnia by entering the
enchanted world through a wardrobe, the stage is set
for a classic battle of epic proportions.
The film marks the first live-action directorial effort
for New Zealander Andrew Adamson (Oscar®-winning director
of “Shrek” and “Shrek 2”).
The cast includes award winning actress Tilda Swinton
as Jadis, the powerful and evil White Witch, James McAvoy
as Mr. Tumnus, Kiran Shah as Ginarrbrik and Academy
Award ® winning actor Jim Broadbent as Professor Kirke.
Andrew Adamson also has a cast of internationally acclaimed
performers to lend their voice talents to the film including
Liam Neeson as Aslan, Ray Winstone as Mr. Beaver, Rupert
Everett as The Fox and veteran British comedienne Dawn
French as Mrs. Beaver.
“The Chronicles of Narnia
represent an amazing opportunity for the Christian community
in Australia and New Zealand to engage with an epic
film that goes to the very heart of all they hold true”
said Mr. Hopping.
“Our company is thrilled
to be involved with Narnia, a movie that explores such
powerful themes as sacrificial love.
Given the family nature of this movie, the opportunity
is literally enormous for the Christian community."

Dictionary.com
describes a "Sentinel" as one
that keeps guard. The french and latin roots speak of vigilance and
combine the words "watching" and "feeling" in
their description.
I think of "Sentinels" as being those the Lord positions
in specific areas to Guard over Community, National and Governmental
issues needing Prayer.
