Prince Caspian The
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a 2008 epic fantasy film based
on Prince Caspian, the second published novel in C. S. Lewis's fantasy
series, The Chronicles of Narnia. It is the second in The Chronicles
of Narnia film series from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media,
following The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe (2005). The four Pevensie children return to Narnia to aid
Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) in his struggle for the throne against his
corrupt uncle, King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). The film was released
on May 16, 2008 in the United States, in Australia on June 5, 2008,
and on June 26, 2008 in the United Kingdom.
Work on the script began before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
was released, so filming could begin before the actors grew too old
for their parts. Director Andrew Adamson wanted to make the film more
spectacular than the first, and created an action sequence not in the
novel to up the ante. The Narnians were designed to look wilder as
they have been hiding from persecution, to stress the darker tone of
the sequel. The filmmakers also took a Spanish influence for the
antagonistic race of the Telmarines. Filming began in February 2007 in
New Zealand, but unlike the previous film, the majority of shooting
took place in Central Europe, because of the larger sets available in
those countries. To keep costs down, Adamson chose to base
post-production in the UK, because of recent tax credits there. |
