Prince Caspian

Our Narnia spies have told us that only two of the boys that auditioned in the first round have been called up for the second round. Reportedly, director Andrew Adamson and the producers are in the UK, auditioning actors that are Hispanic in appearance and in their late teens. This would fit the story a bit more, and give Caspian a distinct feel.

This week, host John Burkitt (EveningStar) swaps news and views with Colin Edson of New Zealand (Monkeh). We speculate about the announced opening date of Walden Media’s Prince Caspian (2008).

The idea of a “left wing” and “right wing” in politics and society is a fluid one, subject to a lot of confusion. You can’t understand liberals unless you know what they want to liberate, and you can’t understand conservatives unless you know what they want to conserve….It may help us toward clarity if I attempt, presupposing what I think to be reasonable modern definitions of the left and right, to identify some places in The Chronicles Of Narnia where C.S. Lewis expressed sometimes liberal ideas, and sometimes conservative ones.

NarniaFans Spy Daniel has sent us word that Prince Caspian indeed has a release date set. This is huge news that hasn’t made the major entertainment press.

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.”

The third finalist has been announced in The Chronicles of Narnia Ultimate Fan Contest. Check out the link below to view October’s Queen of Narnia!
