Directer, Producer, pleased with Bovec Scenery

Here's a bit more translated news on Prince Caspian from a press conference in Bovec. The filmmakers are typically excited about the film they're making and give us hope for the next chapter to be as big as the first, if not better. Read the rest at the source. The original video for this news report is up at 24ur.com.

Excitement in "Narnia"

The atmosphere in Bovec yesterday was something like moments in the centre of Hollywood, with a crowd of journalists and photographers wanting to get the clearest shots possible. Andrew Adamson, the New Zealand director, and Mark Johnson, one of the top film producers, were late to the conference (as the stars usually are!).

Nevertheless, they are both thrilled with the Bovec scenery and with the local people.

Johnson: "We have been welcomed not just from an official standpoint, but really from the man on the street."

Andrew Adamson, who is well known for the Oscar-winning animated film Shrek, is very impressed by the Bovec scenery.

Adamson: "I would love to come back to shoot another movie. I mean, as I say, I think the country is beautiful, so I can imagine many opportunities to shoot here."

The Bovec community is also pleased with the possibilities of further co-operation. They are already hosting over one thousand members of the filming team in all the hotels and private houses on more than one hundred different sites.

Adamson: "So I hope none of you are planning to stay tonight."

Johnson: "We’ll rent you a room but we’ll charge a lot of money." (laughter)

Both filmmakers were not so playful about the severe security measures placed on every step of filming.

Johnson: "We have had people all over the world trying to find out not just what the sets look like, [but] what the actors look like ... who’s in it, what their costumes look like ... we want to preserve the magic of the story and of the film."
