“The recovery of the lost paradise”
The first part of chronicles of Narnia, titled: “The lion, the witch and the wardrobe”, convinced the public with high collections that also were registered in Spain, where it exceeded the 18 million Euros and caused that the original book - the beginning of the series published by C.S. Lewis in the decade of the 50 – went from being practically out of sale to selling more than one million copies.
The movie “Prince
Caspian”, the second part of this story, arrives today at the cinemas
of Seville; the Pevensie brothers leave the England of World War II to return
to the magical enclaves of Narnia. When they arrive it has not passed more
of a year from his march, but the time in Narnia advances differently and
the kids find a devastated landscape.
”It’s a very nostalgic history” director Andrew Adamson points,
who already made the previous delivery. " The children return to a place
they used to rule, the place that they had governed for 15 years, but everything
has changed. People they used to know have been expelled to the forest. Aslan
has been more than a thousand years missing. However, they must face it and
try to restore the old Narnia, the one that they used to know" , says
the director.
Adamson was originally born in New but raised in New Guinea, so he perfectly understood that unexpected sensation of uprooting before the return to a dear earth. " Mine its an experience similar to the one these four boys experience when they return to Narnia, a world that no longer is the one they knew and loved" , also observes the director of Shrek and Shrek 2.
In “Prince Caspian”, the protagonists will have to help the legitimate heir of the throne to fight against his evil uncle Miraz, which allows a more epic and spectacular scene. For the producer Mark Johnson, this new adventure surpasses the first film in many aspects. It is greater regarding the number of people who work after the cameras, the people who work in front of the camera and most important, in the dramatic aspect. The subjects that are touched and the relations have improved and are a little darker than in the first movie" , declares the producer.
Prince Caspian maintains the same distribution with the same actors who incarnated the Pevensie brothers: Georgie Henley (Lucy), Skandar Keynes (Edmund), Anus Poplewell (Susan) and William Moseley (Peter). For the main character Ben Barnes was chosen, a professional of the theater that acted on the successful play: The History Boys. Barnes , who is working in a new adaptation of the picture of Dorian Gray, has confessed himself (in a recent visit to Madrid) as an “absolute fan” of the books of C.S. Lewis and he admitted that when he was younger he was identified with Peter, the oldest Pevensie brother.
Between the curiosities of the team of interpreters, in which names of 15 different countries participate, we have to honor the Spanish actress Alicia Borrachero and Simón Andreu. For the actress, this film supposed the opportunity " to return to play "(referring to his acting career).
For this Disney production, that was rolled in New Zealand, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Poland, 600 armors and arms were devised, between shields, swords, lances and daggers, and the designer Iris Mussenden created clothes inspired by the obvious personality “El Greco”.
Like in the previous film of the series, in “Prince Caspian”; the actors were able to mix themselves with the fantastic creatures in an overflowing universe of inventiveness.
