Warwick Davis chimes in on "PC"
Warwick on Caspian
And Gregson-William discusses the score.

May 9, 2007 - Warwick Davis, the actor who's been a staple of sci-fi and fantasy films from Star Wars to Harry Potter, is enjoying the opportunity proffered him by Prince Caspian: playing a villain for a change (not counting all those Leprechaun movies). In the upcoming Narnia sequel, Davis takes on the role of the nogoodnik dwarf Nikabrik, who turns against his other dwarf brethren in the civil war between Midas and Caspian.
"I do like playing baddies!" he told the Disney Insider. "As an actor, they're always the most memorable roles. It's a part you can get your teeth into -- sometimes literally!"
Davis has perhaps the most experience of anyone playing characters from Narnia; he performed as Reepicheep in the BBC's TV versions of Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair, produced back in 1989 and 1990 respectively. Reepicheep is likely to be a computer-generated character this time around, but Davis's continuing involvement in future Narnia films can't be ruled out.
In related news, composer Harry Gregson-Williams is beginning to think about Prince Caspian, even though the film is still in principle photography and his job of writing and conducting the score is still a ways off. In a recent piece in The Hollywood Reporter, Gregson-Williams states that the Caspian soundtrack will be a little darker in tone than Wardrobe.
"I've read the script, and there are a couple areas that I'm researching, but really it's a very different story," says Gregson-Williams. "Hopefully, we'll be able to hang on to one or two of the cues and develop them, but it's quite dark, actually. I'm really looking forward to it."
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian arrives in theaters May 16th, 2008.
