Given The Chronicles Of Narnia’s huge success with The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, it was only a matter of time before the sequel came thundering out of Disney’🍨s own production wardrobe. And the next instalment has been officially greenlit for a Christmas 2007 release.
We recently told you♓ that the company was considering Prince Caspian as the next film in the series. And like one of Aslan’s predictions, it has come to pass. The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian is on, with Wardrobe director Andrew Adamson back calling the shots. With the franchise’s first outing snatching almost $640 million at the global box office and on course to topple Pirates Of The Caribbean’s $655 million haul to become Disney’s biggest live-action release ever, Caspian’s green-light was a foregone conclusion.
Along with Adamson, Christopher Markus and Steve McFeeley have been hired once more to write the script, and the four young leads – Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell &♍ndash; are all down to return for a tale, which finds the Prevensie siblings pulled back to the land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since their first trip there. Once there, they’re enlisted to help reinstate the title character – Narni๊a’s rightful ruler – to his throne, which has been usurped by King Miraz, another Narnia nasty.
