Next Narnia film revealed

The young cast will be reunited for a new adventure
10 April 2012

The next big screen instalment from the books of CS Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - was announced today with the return of the four young stars who play the Narnia children.

British actors Georgie Henley, 10, Skandar Keynes, 14, Anna Popplewell, 17, and William Moseley, 18, will reprise their roles as the Pevensies.

Andrew Adamson is back as director following the New Zealander's success with the first film, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Production is set to begin later this year for the movie to be released during Christmas 2007.

The first film, based on the book by CS Lewis, has taken more than 637.8 million dollars (£359 million) at the worldwide box office so far.

The movie received three Oscar nominations earlier this week, but none for any of the major awards.

Prince Caspian was published in 1951 and is the second book in the seven-book series written by Lewis.

Adamson, who made his name with the Shrek films, said: "Prince Caspian not only gives me an opportunity to challenge my imagination with another classic story, it also allows me to work alongside the many talented artists who contributed to the first film, and of course to collaborate again with The Pevensies, Georgie, Skandar, Anna, and William."

Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook said: "Moviegoers around the world were unanimous in their love and enthusiasm for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian offers lots of new thrills and adventures in this magical land."

Prince Caspian finds the Pevensie siblings pulled back into the land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since they left.
