Return to Story IndexPRINCE CASPIAN
THOSE ARE JUST *SOME* OF THE CHARACTERS IN DISNEY'S SECOND INSTALLMENT OF "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN" THE FANTASY SEQUEL DREAMS ITS WAY INTO THEATERS- AND IMAGINATIONS- THIS WEEKEND. IT'S TIME TO RETURN TO NARNIA, THIS TIME IN THE ADVENTURES OF "PRINCE CASPIAN"! SET 1300 NARNIA YEARS AFTER "THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE", AN EVIL KING NOW RULES THE LAND AND PETER, SUSAN, EDMUND AND LUCY MUST HELP RESTORE CASPIAN TO THE THRONE. STAR BEN BARNES SAYS HE'S EXCITED TO BE PART OF A STORY HE GREW UP WITH. BARNES says: "I remember thinking how magical they were - the wonderful escapism of these magical creatures so that's why it feels like such a privilege to be telling the stories to the next generation." PLUS WORKING WITH MAGICAL CREATURES IS QUITE A JOB PERK! KEYNES & POPPLEWELL say: "We bring in a real lion for those scenes yeah.. no (laughs)." HENLEY says: (next to William Moseley) "I was acting with Aslan and there was nothing there and I imagine him with a pink mane." BARNES says: "There's an actress dressed fully in a lime green suit moving the props around and you can literally just converse as you would with a - real talking badger (quizzical look)." AS FOR EXPECTATIONS - DIRECTOR ANDREW ADAMSON SAYS IT BEST TO LET FOLKS TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES. ADAMSON says: "I stay off the internet when im working on a film because you know all sorts of things leak out and then you get all this kind of carrying on." ALTHOUGH THE CAST PROMISES FANS *CAN* EXPECT "MORE" THIS TIME AROUND. POPPLEWELL says: "we wanted this to be bigger and better and I think "more" is probably a good word for this movie, I mean we have more action, more comedy, it's darker, we have more characters, more plot threats, it's a lot more complex really." AND IF "PRINCE CASPIAN" COMES EVEN CLOSE TO THE THREE-QUARTERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS EARNED BY THE FIRST FILM, THE GOOD NEWS FOR FANS AND THE STUDIO - THERE ARE FIVE MORE BOOKS TO GO. IN NY, JD, FN. "THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN" COMES OUT FRIDAY.
