Rotten
Tomatoes Interview
15th March 2008
Interview
is taken from
here
Newcomer Ben
Barnes on stepping
into the magical
world of Disney's
Prince Caspian.
"In Prince
Caspian, the
magic has gone
from Narnia,
because it's
been taken over
by greedy, ambitious
humans, so it's
going to be
much darker,
and while The
Lion, the Witch
& the Wardrobe
was almost a
fairytale story,
this is much
more of a summer
action movie.
The joy of the
series is that
they're all,
individually,
completely different
genres of story,
and so there's
quite a different
tone for this
film. It's balanced
by director
Andrew Adamson,
who has this
extraordinary
ability to focus
on minute details
and the vastness
of the Narnia
story at the
same time.
You
have to spend
the time getting
the story right
because as amazing
as the special
effects might
be if you don't
give a shit
about the characters
then your film
won't work.
You have to
make people
care and you
have to show
all those different
sides of the
character and
Caspian's fairly
well layered,
I think. He's
an orphan whose
father has been
killed by his
uncle and he's
ambivalent about
being a leader.
He really is
on the threshold
of manhood and
it's quite cathartic;
he has to fight
his own people.
I'm definitely
going to be
doing Voyage
of the Dawn
Treader and
we're lined
up to start
in November.
We were going
to start straight
away but we
had problems
with the strike
and exam schedules
for children
and all of that.
We're taking
our time with
it which I think
is sensible.
The first one
was great but
Caspian's going
to be even better,
so we have to
take the time
to make Dawn
Treader even
better."
