The Next "Narnia" Film Begins Taking Shape
It comes as no surprise that Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media
are in pre-production on "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,"
the second film of the "Narnia" series. With "The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" taking in an amazing
$65 million during just its opening weekend and $637.8 million
worldwide to date (just wait until it comes out on DVD, sales should
be astronomical), it's a wonder the announcement of work on the
second movie took two months to come out.
Fans of the first "Narnia" movie should be happy to note that most of
the cast and crew from "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" will
reunite for "Prince Caspian." Andrew Adamson will return as director
and co-writer (with Christopher Markus and Steve McFeeley). Disney
expects filming of "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" to
begin in late 2006 with the studio eyeing a Christmas 2007 release
date.
In a statement issued by Walt Disney Pictures, studio chairman Dick
Cook said, "We're thrilled to be working with such a great director
as Andrew, and our friends at Walden Media, in bringing the next
chapter of the 'Narnia' chronicles to the big screen. Moviegoers
around the world were unanimous in their love and enthusiasm for 'The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,' and 'Prince Caspian' offers lots
of new thrills and adventures in this magical land. The C. S. Lewis
books are a rich source of inspiration for great storytelling, and
this book spotlights some wonderful new heroes, and villains, along
with many of the characters we came to love so much in the first
film."
Director Adamson was quoted as saying, "Making 'The Lion, The Witch
and The Wardrobe' couldn't have been a more rewarding experience, not
just in terms of creative achievement and audience response, but also
because of the family we formed during production. 'Prince Caspian'
not only gives me an opportunity to challenge my imagination with
another classic story, it also allows me to work alongside the many
talented artists who contributed to the first film, and of course to
collaborate again with 'The Pevensies,' Georgie, Skandar, Anna, and
William."
The Official "Prince Caspian" Synopsis
"Prince Caspian" finds the Pevensie siblings pulled back into the
land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since they left.
The children are once again enlisted to join the colorful creatures
of Narnia in combating an evil villain who prevents the rightful
Prince from ruling the land. "Prince Caspian" was first published in
1951, and is the second book in the seven-book series written by
Lewis. It was intended as a continuation of "The Lion, The Witch and
The Wardrobe." Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" have sold over 100
million copies worldwide, and continues to be one of the best loved
and most popular series of all time.
