Prince Caspian), Anna Popplewell (Susan Pevensie), William Moseley (Peter

"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.
