Back to Narnia

I came across this in Yahoo when I was browsing through the 2008 most anticipated movie list. What a coincidence since I am currently reading this book in the Chronicles of Narnia. This I think is the most appropriate movie to make after "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" because this story happened only after a year since the return of the 4 Pevensie children to England. The synopsis from Yahoo! movie page goes as follows:

One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians--led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian--embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

I am so excited to see this movie. The 4 children are still played by the same actors (a little grown) and they added a very dreamy actor by the name of Ben Barnes to play Prince Caspian. And might I add that Peter Pevensie is becoming quite a dreamy lad himself. This movie is set to be release in May 16, 2008 directed by Andrew Adamson. To see the trailer, click here.

Another picture of Prince Caspian (played by Ben Barnes).

Isn't he dreamy? Although I think he needs a military haircut to complete the dream (fantasy).
