Oh yeah, didn’t you hear? They’re making a sequel to "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." It’s called "Prince Caspian," and (fortunately enough) the producers just found themselves a guy to play the role.
The winner of the "Caspian" lottery is a 25-year-old British actor called Ben Barnes, who can also be seen in upcoming movies like "Stardust" and "Bigga Than Ben." AICN broke the news, and they also share a rather juicy little story about Mr. Barnes. Apparently he’s been scoring rave reviews from his stage performance of "The History Boys," but was forced to bail on his contract in order to take the "Prince Caspian" gig. Could be all gossip, of course, but it makes for a fun little side-note.
ComingSoon.net has a little more semi-news to impart: Director Andrew Adamson and producer Mark Johnson are "in discussions" with someone to play the part of King Miraz. Head over there to find your way to an interview at The New Zealand Herald. (Yeah, all the big movies are made down in New Zealand these days.)
