“You just be the character, you use your imagination,” he says. “When you imagine Aslan [the story’s benevolent lion], you just see some highly individual perception– I saw a majestic creature. I enjoyed being able to create my own Aslan instead of someone else putting it there in front of me.”
The finished film delighted Moseley, who turned 19 in April. “We all had very high expectations,” he says, “and it actually went beyond them.”
Moseley credits the film’s success to director Andrew Adamson’s adherence to his artistic vision. “We’re so lucky that we had someone who said what he wanted, did what he wanted, and didn’t let anyone push him around,” Moseley says. “He’s so quiet, yet he’s so strong”
A sequel, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, is in the works, but its producers are keeping details under wraps. “We’re going to shoot in January, and that’s going ahead,” Moseley says, and shooting is slated to continue through the summer. “I haven’t seen a completed script yet,” he says. “They’re keeping it really hush-hush. Whether it’s even finished, I don’t know.”
