THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN On DVD And Blu-ray
Return to the magical world of Narnia in the second installment of C.S. Lewis' timeless epic, THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN, coming to market on December 2, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Ent. (vfx by Moving Picture Company, Framestore CFC, Baseblack, Escape Studios, Giant Studios, Rising Sun Pictures, ScanlineVFX and Weta Digital). Packed with featurettes, interviews and deleted scenes, the title is available on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as a special two-disc Collector's Edition.
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN packaging also includes a special DisneyFile, a digital copy of the movie that can be viewed on a variety of portable devices anytime, anywhere.
From the creators of THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, PRINCE CASPIAN features even more groundbreaking special effects and breathtaking action than its predecessor. William Moseley, Georgie Henley, Anna Popplewell and Skandar Keynes return as Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, the Pevensie siblings, along with Liam Neeson as Aslan the Lion and Tilda Swinton as the White Witch. They are joined by Ben Barnes (STARDUST) as Caspian, heir to the Narnian throne, with Sergio Castellitto (ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES), Eddie Izzard (THE RICHES), Warwick Davis (the HARRY POTTER films) and Peter Dinklage (THE STATION AGENT) appearing as new residents of Narnia.
Lewis' seven-book CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series is regarded as one of literature's most enduring classics, selling over 100 million copies in more than 35 languages, making it the second biggest book series the world over.
In THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN, the Pevensie children face a perilous mission and a greater test of their faith and courage. They find a world in which 1,300 years have passed. The White Witch is gone, the realm is ruled by a cruel tyrant and Aslan has been missing for over a thousand years. The four children embark on a remarkable journey to restore magic and glory to the land. Accompanied by Trumpkin, a valiant dwarf, Reepicheep the talking mouse and a suspicious Black Dwarf named Nikabrik, they raise an army of Narnians to rise up against the evil king Miraz.
Most of the first film's creative team returned on PRINCE CASPIAN, too, including Dean Wright as overall vfx supervisor. This time though, he shared his supervisory position with NARNIA newcomer Wendy Rogers, a former colleague of director Andrew Adamson at PDI. "The scope of this movie is so much grander," Wright observed. "It really is an epic leap, effects wise. We had a lot more CG characters and much more physical interaction with human characters. We also had a large amount of environment work, which was minimal in the first movie. It was so much work that I was glad Wendy joined us to co-supervise the effects."
With a vfx shot count of 1,600, PRINCE CASPIAN has only 100 shots more than THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. Yet, the work turned out to be far more complex. "On the first movie, those 1,500 shots included 300 fix-its and miscellaneous effects," Wright notes. "So, we really had about 1,200 complex shots. On PRINCE CASPIAN, we had 1,600 very complicated shots! Ninety percent of them featured digital characters, sometimes hundreds of them..."
