IGN FilmForce heads down under to journey through the magical worlds of C.S. Lewis. The casting of the voice of Aslan is still a great mystery, at least for those of us on the outside. […]
THE WHITE WITCH’S GREAT HALL The next soundstage we visited was the White Witch’s Great Hall, as they’ve come to call it. It was a colossal completely iced over ballroom-like locale which showcased at the […]
From there, a short drive down a road takes you to the most solemn set. A short grassy hill rises out of the sound stage floor. Upon the crest of the hill a circle of boulders surrounds the Stone Table. The table is inscribed with runes and looks ready for the dreary task it will be given to do. […]
The White Witch’s Courtyard was the first one we were taken to and it was easily the one that impressed me most. We saw close to two dozen life-size creatures (meaning there weren’t any miniatures), […]
Set Builder Pete MacKinnon, who constructed all twelve sections of the set with his team of three carpenters over three months, estimates that he used over 4500 sticks, all “between finger thickness and leg thickness,” to create the set.

It was a case of the lion, the witch and the wind storm at Flock Hill Station yesterday, as film makers assessed the damage caused by the gale force winds that swept through the country. […]
This article contains some Story Spoilers, so be wary. Since late June, a new set of yellow “location pointers” have appeared on major intersections in West Auckland, New Zealand. It’s a sure sign that filming is in progress somewhere not too far away, and every morning cast and crew for the project will be homing into that location from wherever they live. These particular pointers are marked “LPP” for “Lamp Post Productions.” […]
The interior of Mr. Tumnus’ house, as illustrated by Pauline Baynes for Lewis’ book, included two lounge chairs, a dining table, a mantle and fireplace, a bookshelf and hutch. Filmmaker Adamson has imagined a setting very similar in his collaborations with production designer Roger Ford and set decorator Kerrie Brown. […]
Tehanu returns with an actual set piece this time. While last time, the set looked very Narnian, it turned out to be for Hercules. This time, it’s for real. A picture of the top of the London house where the Pevensie children lived. […]
