Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media are Proud to Announce the UK's Biggest Film Premiere Ever!

LONDON, May 8/PRNewswire/ --

- The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Will Screen to an Audience of
10,000 at the O2 Arena, London's Premier Entertainment Venue, on June 19th in
Support of Great Ormond Street Hospital

An impressive line-up of stars from the predominately British
cast of Prince Caspian will be attending this spectacular red-carpet charity
event, including Liam Neeson (the voice of Aslan), Ben Barnes (the eponymous
Prince Caspian), Anna Popplewell (Susan Pevensie), William Moseley (Peter
Pevensie), Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie), Georgie Henley (Lucy Pevensie)
and the film's acclaimed director Andrew Adamson.

For the first time ever, technicians will install a giant cinema screen
into The O2 arena in London. With an incredible seating capacity of 10,000,
the event promises to be the biggest single screen, shared audience
experience ever. Tickets for this unique and technically ground-breaking
premiere will go on sale to the public on Friday May 9th and can be purchased
by going to http://www.theo2.co.uk or by calling +44(0)844 -856-0202. A
donation will be made to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity
(Registered Charity no. 235825) as part of Disney's partnership with the
hospital, to raise an invaluable GBP10 million towards their much-needed
redevelopment appeal.

"Prince Caspian" is the exciting new tale to follow the 2005
epic film "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". Based on the beloved and
best selling series of books by CS Lewis, the film was the biggest movie of
the year, taking a spectacular $750 million dollars worldwide! This new
instalment of The Chronicles promises to take audiences on an extraordinary
journey back to the magical world of Narnia. The film is set to be bigger and
more spectacular than ever before, with more action and battle scenes as well
as incredible visual effects, mostly created in London by some of the UK's
best effects wizards.

The cast and visionary creative team from the first film have
reunited, with Academy Award(R)-nominated director Andrew Adamson taking the
helm once again. With all editing, post-production and principal visual
effects work completed in London, Prince Caspian returns The Chronicles of
Narnia series back to Great Britain, the home of CS Lewis.

The film also sees the introduction of a whole series of new
characters including the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep voiced by Eddie
Izzard, the Red Dwarf Trumpkin played by Peter Dinklage, the suspicious Black
Dwarf Nikabrik, played by Warwick Davis, the faithful badger Trufflehunter
voiced by veteran TV actor Ken Stott and Prince Caspian himself, played by
Ben Barnes.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is released in
cinemas across the country on June 26th.
