I can't imagine Orlando Bloom playing Caspian either, IMHO he's just too old. Personally, because he made such a splash in LOTR, it might be unwise for them to cast him as Caspian, too many comparisons could hang in the air about his handling of the character and the role. For me personally, it just wouldn't work, it would simply feel too weird for me to watch an adult actor trying to play a teenager. Some can do it, but even still, I would be totally disappointed if they cast a well-known adult actor to play Caspian.
I hope that they will go after actors for this like they did with the Pevensie kids. In doing that, they are looking to use actors who don't already have a huge name, but who are just as good as the big names. To site an example with a question, how many of you knew who William, Skandar, Anna or Georgie were before LWW came out? I had never heard these names before, but now I do, because these kids have shown that they are artists in the craft, and I think if the casting directors for Prince Caspian are smart, then they will go in the same direction and give us some new names.
The UK has some very fine and rather remarkable talent, the problem is that they have underutilized it. Having two huge films with British actors 'Harry Potter' and 'Narnia', will help them to do use the talent that comes out of that country.
Back on topic, I am seriously hoping that they will want to go go younger when casting Caspian so that the actor can grow into his role for VDT. But, that's just my honest opinion. LWW did, to some extent reach my expectations as far as characterization is concerned, so I think that if PC goes the same route, then they will as well.
