Production Companies

ComingSoon.net has spoken with the people behind the effects in Narnia, the crack team of Richard Taylor and Dean Wright of Weta FX (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy) working with make-up effects specialist Howard Berger of KNB FX. Essentially, the three men supervised a huge crew of people to combine make-up and practical on-set effects with groundbreaking computer-generated digital effects.

Jim Hill talks about the intriguing plan that the Walt Disney Company already has in place for the promotion of the studio’s big holiday picture. To the general movie-going public, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is being sold as an epic adventure.

Attention Educators: Walden Media has designed a web site as a professional resource for educators. “We hope that you will use our carefully crafted educational materials and share your own on our discussion boards to deepen students’ appreciation of this epic adventure.”

The panel featured Howard Berger (the B of KNB EFX), Dean Wright (visual effects designer), Richard Taylor and Ben Wootten (Weta peeps) live and in person and later featured director Andrew Adamson and all four of the kids from the movie via satellite. They were in London doing ADR (Addition Dialog Recording) for the film, but took the time to sit in on the panel discussion.

According to Walden.com, they will send one educator (a full time teacher, librarian, principal, educational paraprofessional, district professional, afterschool leader or registered homeschool parent) and a companion to London, England next December as their guest at the World Premiere of their spectacular new film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Walden Media has bought film rights to Susan Cooper’s five-book “The Dark Is Rising Sequence” fantasy-adventure series.
