What do the children know? Possibly less than we do.
Narnia Kids Talk Prince Caspian
USA Today caught up to
Skandar Keynes (Edmund),
Georgie Henley (Lucy) and William Moseley (Peter) and got them to divulge a little bit of added information on Prince Caspian. Though there isn't much to learn, I do hope there is more than just a verbal contract; we are talking about a film with a proposed $300 million dollar budget here!
"I found out the sequel (Prince Caspian) was happening through a teacher," says Skandar Keynes, 14, who portrays Edmund, one of the four Pevensie siblings in the film, which is new on DVD this week. He jokes, "She had the inside knowledge."
Adds Georgie Henley, 10, who plays Lucy: "My teacher did the same thing to me because she saw it in the newspaper that I said yes (I was going to be in the sequel). I haven't said no, but I haven't said yes."
As for their status on appearing in the second Narnia film, "to be honest, it's really a verbal contract," says William Moseley, 18, who plays Peter. "We have been told the sequel is happening, but we have no idea when, we don't know where and we have no idea how. We just have to sort of sit back and let the big guys work it out."
Narnia director Andrew Adamson and scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely are currently working on the screenplay for Prince Caspian with the assumption that all four children will return for the sequel.
Walden is hoping to have Prince Caspian ready for a release to theatres in on Christmas of 2007.
