This comes as no surprise, as filming is scheduled to start before we know it, but set building has started. Narnia creature designs have been in the works for a very long time, and should be finalized very soon, if they haven’t been already. Anyway, here’s one report:
Word has it that Prince Caspian production work is commencing on the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand. According to our spy, huge props are starting to appear and what appears to be a castle set is currently being built. Cair Paravel or King Miraz’ castle, perhaps? Production in the region will be continuing throughout January and February.
Now, this report makes a little less sense. Pippa Hall confirmed to all those involved in the casting that they had chosen their Prince Caspian. However, I believe that Andrew Adamson does have the right to overrule that decision, and he may have, but just take this with a huge grain of salt, unless you can confirm or deny it. If you have any more details, don’t hesitate to e-mail us an update on the situation.
According to our sources, Caspian has not been cast yet! We’re hearing that although proceedings are at the short list stage, director Andrew Adamson is insisting that a boy of Spanish appearance (aged mid teens to early twenties) be selected. It is also rumoured that Caspian may indeed be fancied by Susan in the film. The casting directors are seeking fresh talent this week, asking agents not to send them actors who have already been seen for the role.
