A sneak peak of the third movie in "The Chronicles of Narnia" film series will be offered at the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS), to be held June 27-30 at America's Center in St. Louis.

Scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 10, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader features Edmund and Lucy Pevensie (Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley) along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter), who find themselves swallowed into a painting and onto a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the edges of the world.

Walt Disney Pictures dropped its plan to co-finance Dawn Treader last year, but 20th Century Fox agreed to partner with Walden Media. The second movie in the "Narnia" series, Prince Caspian--which had a $225 million production budget--was considered a disappointment in 2008, earning $419 million worldwide in ticket sales, a drop from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe's worldwide total of $745 million.

20th Century Fox is also hosting an ICRS screening of Amish Grace--the highest-rated film in Lifetime Movie Network history. Starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley (We Are Marshall, Father of the Bride), the movie tells the story of the Amish community of Nickel Mines, which was changed when a gunman shot five girls in a schoolhouse before taking his own life. The movie is based on the Jossey-Bass title Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy by Donald B. Kraybill, Steven M. Nolt and David L. Weaver-Zercher.
