Recently, Walt Disney announced plans to begin shooting the second Narnia sequel, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, as it’s the only other book in the Narnia series that contains all four Pevensie children.
|PIC1|It has been confirmed that director Andrew Adamson from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will once again direct the new sequel.
Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, responded enthusiastically to Adamson's return. "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," Cook said in a press release. "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."
|QUOTE|In addition, the production will feature the same child actors- Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy- from the previous film.
Shooting for Prince Caspian will start this autumn and is expected to be released around Christmas 2007.
“If we don’t make it now, we’ll never be able to because they’ll be too old,” said Director Adamson according to ContactMusic.com. “That Chronicle is set one year after this one, so it would allow for the kids to get a bit older.”
Adamson added that he would be, “perfectly happy to make all seven.”
“The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” is the second installment of the seven book series and was originally published in 1951.
The first installment of the series, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” was one of 2005’s top movie grossers earning $638 million dollars and received three Oscar nominations.
