"PC" may release later than planned...

According to a report by Walden Media's CEO (Cary Granat), the release of Prince Caspian has likely been bumped to a Christmas 2008 release, rather than Christmas 2007, because of the large amount of special effects that have to be done. According to this article and this report, it looks like it will more likely be released earlier than Christmastime, in the Summer of 2008.

However, they have also stated that they will be filming Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair in order as a trilogy of sorts. Following will be The Magician's Nephew, The Horse and His Boy, and The Last Battle.

’Narnia’ DVD re-creates behind-the-scenes magic

The young foursome who star in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe know how impassioned the fans of C.S. Lewis’ classic books are."I found out the sequel (Prince Caspian) was happening through a teacher," says Skandar Keynes, 14, who portrays Edmund, one of the four Pevensie siblings in the film, which is new on DVD this week. He jokes, "She had the inside knowledge."

Adds Georgie Henley, 10, who plays Lucy: "My teacher did the same thing to me because she saw it in the newspaper that I said yes (I was going to be in the sequel). I haven’t said no, but I haven’t said yes."As for their status on appearing in the second Narnia film, "to be honest, it’s really a verbal contract," says William Moseley, 18, who plays Peter. "We have been told the sequel is happening, but we have no idea when, we don’t know where and we have no idea how. We just have to sort of sit back and let the big guys work it out."

Narnia producer Mark Johnson says Wardrobe director Andrew Adamson and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are working on a Prince Caspian screenplay, and he expects all four young stars to return. The film is scheduled for release in Christmas 2007.

In the meantime, the stars say they hope people will get an idea how much fun it was to work on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe through the DVD. Disney is releasing a $30 single-disc version and a $35 collector’s edition, with a bonus disc of extra features. "I really hoped that, when people saw it, they got to see how much fun we had doing it," says Anna Popplewell (Susan). "If that didn’t come across in the film, it will come across on the DVD because in the bonus material, there’s a lot of insights into the making of the movie."
