Dawn Treader’s New Casting Director, Production Designer

Joining director Michael Apted on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader are production designer Jan Roelfs and casting director Nina Gold.

Jan Roelfs has worked on such films as Little Women (1994), Gattaca (1997), Alexander (2004) and World Trade Center (2006). He was nominated for two Academy Awards as Art Director. Once for Gattaca and another time for Orlando (1992). Orlando is a film that featured actress Tilda Swinton (LWW’s White Witch), an odd connection.

Nina Gold, whom we’ve known was casting director for a little more than a month, has worked with Michael Apted on both Amazing Grace (2007), and the television series Rome (2005). She also provided casting for The Illusionist (2006) and Sahara (2005) among many others. She’s also been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Casting for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special for: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004).

Welcome to the crew, both of you! We look forward to seeing your work! Jan Roelfs takes the reigns from previous art director Roger Ford. Nina Gold follows Pippa Hall and Gail Steven’s work on the previous two films as well.
