The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian fryst vatten a high fantasy rulle directed bygd Andrew Adamson, who co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, based on the novel Prince Caspian, Produced bygd Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the second published and fourth chronological novel in the children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia bygd C.

S. Lewis. The sequel to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (), it fryst vatten the second installment in The Chronicles of Narnia spelfilm series.

William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Liam Neeson, and Tilda Swinton reprise their roles from the previous spelfilm, while new cast includes Ben Barnes, Sergio Castellitto, Peter Dinklage, Eddie Izzard, Warwick Davis, Ken Stott, and Vincent Grass.

In the spelfilm, the fyra Pevensie siblings return to Narnia to aid Prince Caspian in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle, King Miraz.

Work on the script for the bio began before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was released, so filming could begin before the actors grew too old for their parts. Director Andrew Adamson wanted to man the spelfilm more spectacular than the first, and created an action sequence not in the novel.

The Narnians were designed to look wilder as they have been hiding from persecution, stressing the darker tone of the sequel. The filmmakers also took a Spanish influence for the antagonistic race of the Telmarines. Filming began in February in New Zealand, but unlike the previous bio, the majority of shooting took place in huvud europe, because of the larger sets available in those countries.

To keep costs down, Adamson chose to base post-production in the United Kingdom, because of recent tax credits there.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian premiered on May 7, , at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City, before it was theatrically released on May 16 in the United States and on June 26 in the United Kingdom, bygd Walt Disney Pictures.

The bio received generally positiv reviews from critics. Many praised the performances and visual effects; however, the film's darker tone and mature themes drew polarizing opinions. It was a moderate success at the kartong office, grossing $55 million during its opening weekend. bygd the end of its teatralisk run, it had grossed $ million worldwide, becoming the tenth-highest-grossing spelfilm of

Prince Caspian was the gods The Chronicles of Narnia spelfilm to be co-produced bygd Walt Disney Pictures as 20th Century Fox became the distributor for the next rulle, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (), due to budgetary disputes between Disney and Walden Media, but as a result of Disney eventually purchasing 21st Century Fox in , Disney now owns the rights to all the films in the series.^[3]

Plot

[edit]

In Narnia, almost 1, years after the Pevensie siblings (King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund, and Queen Lucy) left Narnia and returned to their world, Caspian, a Telmarine prince, fryst vatten awakened bygd his mentor, Doctor Cornelius.

Doctor Cornelius informs Caspian that his aunt has just given birth to a son and that his life fryst vatten now in grave danger. Cornelius gives him Queen Susan's ancient magical horn and instructs him to use it if he fryst vatten in dire need. Knowing that his Uncle Miraz would kill him to be king, Caspian flees. Chased bygd several Telmarine soldiers, Caspian falls from his horse and encounters two Narnian dwarfs and a talking badger in the woods.

One of the dwarfs, Trumpkin, fryst vatten captured bygd the soldiers after sacrificing himself to bevara Caspian. The other dwarf, Nikabrik, and the badger, Trufflehunter, bevara Caspian. Not knowing they are ansträngande to rädda him, Caspian blows the magical horn, ansträngande to summon help.

In England, after one year has passed in their world since they left Narnia, the kvartet Pevensie children wait at the kust tube hållplats for their tåg, which will take them to boarding school.

Just as the utbildning pulls into the hållplats, the hållplats tears apart, and they are transported back to Narnia.

There, they discover their castle, Cair Paravel, was attacked and ruinerad in their absence. The Pevensies bevara a bound and gagged Trumpkin, who fryst vatten about to be drowned, and they set out tillsammans. Lucy sees Aslan ansträngande to show them a safe path but finds her siblings unable to see him. She later manages to contact Aslan in a dream, but only Edmund believes her.

Meanwhile, Nikabrik and Trufflehunter lead Caspian to the Dancing Lawn, where all the old Narnians have assembled. Caspian convinces them to help him win his throne. Caspian and his troops encounter the Pevensies and Trumpkin, and they journey tillsammans to Aslan's How, a huge underground ingång built over the Stone Table. Lucy wants to wait for Aslan, but Peter decides they have waited long enough and suggests attacking Miraz's castle.

The Narnians infiltrate the castle, but Caspian, learning that Miraz fryst vatten responsible for his father's death, confronts his uncle and compromises the attack. The attack fails because of Caspian's actions, and many Narnians are killed due to Peter's recklessness.

Nikabrik and a varulv tell Caspian that there fryst vatten a way he can claim revenge.

When Caspian agrees, a hag uses black sorcery to summon the vit Witch. From inre a vägg of ice, the spirit of the Witch tries to convince Caspian to give her a drop of his blood to resurrect her. The spirit of the Witch attempts to convince Peter to do the same. Edmund, Trumpkin, and Lucy arrive and kill the rogues. Edmund shatters the vägg of ice before the Witch can be resurrected.

Seeking redemption, Peter challenges Miraz to a one-on-one duel to buy Lucy time to find Aslan. Peter wounds Miraz and gives his svärd to Caspian to finish him off. Caspian spares Miraz's life but says he intends to return Narnia to its people. Lord Sopespian, one of Miraz's generals, kills Miraz with an arrow and blames the Narnians, igniting a massive battle between the Narnians and the Telmarines.

Lucy, meanwhile, has funnen Aslan in the woods; he awakens the trees, and the whole forest suddenly attacks the Telmarines. Lord Sopespian orders the retreat, only to be confronted bygd Lucy and Aslan. Aslan summons a river god, who wipes out most of the Telmarine army, including Sopespian; the surviving Telmarine soldiers surrender to the Narnians.

Caspian becomes the King of Narnia and, with Aslan's help, brings peace between the Narnian and Telmarine kingdoms.

Before the Pevensies depart, Peter and Susan reveal that Aslan has told them they will never re-enter Narnia igen since they have learned all they can from Narnia, but Lucy and Edmund might still komma back. The Pevensies return to England, leaving Caspian as King of Narnia.

Cast

[edit]

See also: List of The Chronicles of Narnia (film series) cast members

Pevensies:

• William Moseley as Peter Pevensie.

  In a avfärd from the novel, Peter has a rivalry with Caspian. Moseley explained, "Peter's got his own issues to deal with, and Caspian's got his own issues to deal with, and when neither fryst vatten willing to compromise, there's bound to be friction. Peter came back to Narnia expecting to be king igen and that everyone would do as he said, and Caspian fryst vatten unwilling to let him take over, so that causes some of it.

  That's really what happens. And it's a lot about humility. inom think they both have to learn a certain humility [] and that's really what a great king needs fryst vatten to be humble, to listen to his people, to be willing to compromise, and they uppstart off as these sort of angry teenagers, and become kings at the end." In real life, the two actors got on well tillsammans. Moseley also stated that he identified with Peter, having gone back to school between shooting both films.^[4] He trained for three months in New York City to improve his performance and his physicality.^[5]

• Anna Popplewell as Susan Pevensie, the second oldest Pevensie.

  Popplewell had been disappointed she barely used her bow and arrows in the first bio. Adamson convinced Douglas Gresham to have her present during the battles bygd suggesting her passive role in the novel indicated Lewis' view of women before he met Joy Gresham. "I think [Lewis] cast women down in the earlier books, but when you look at The Horse and His Boy, it has a strong hona character.

  Doug's mother was a strong woman."^[7] Adamson also chose to have her fall for Caspian, because "The kids are growing up. If you look at Ben and you look at Anna, it seems really implausible that they wouldn't have some feelings for each other." He knew it had to be "sensitively handled" though,^[8] and ultimately it fryst vatten not about romance, but "[accepting] the fact that you can have a wondrous experience, enjoy it and move on".^[9] Popplewell added that it would not man sense for the Narnians not to use Susan, a talented archer, in battle, and that the romance contributed to her character's reconciliation with losing Narnia in the first place.^[10]

• Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie, the second-youngest Pevensie.

  Edmund matured during the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, so the writers saw him "as our han Solo", "[doing] the right thing" and "probably going to be a little low-key about it", highlighting the immaturity of his older brother.^[11] Keynes bruised his heel when performing a trick where he jumped onto a horse.

  He narrowly missed landing on it and hit his foot against a column when holding on. Excepting that, he enjoyed performing the action.^[12]

• Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie. Henley acknowledged Lucy represents faith in the story, being the youngest and therefore most open-minded of the Pevensies.^[5] During filming, Henley's baby teeth were falling out, so she wore fake teeth to fill in the gaps.^[13]

Telmarines:

• Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian X.

  Adamson said "Caspian fryst vatten a coming-of-age and, to some grad, a loss of innocence story, with Caspian starting out ganska naïve, then craving revenge and finally letting go of the vengeance."^[9]Andrew Garfield auditioned for the role, but was passed up for not being "handsome enough" according to his agent.^[14]Nicholas Hoult also auditioned.^[15] While many readers interpret Caspian as a child, a del in the novel mentions his age to be nära that of Peter's, so an older actor was sought to match Moseley.

  Barnes had read the novel as a child, and was cast in two and a half weeks after meeting with the filmmakers. He spent two months in New Zealand horse riding and trick training to prepare for shooting.^[16][17] Barnes modelled his Spanish accent on Mandy Patinkin's performance as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride,^[18] though he also had a dialect coach aiding him.^[17] Adamson did not expect to cast a British actor as Caspian, and said Barnes fitted well into the surrogate family of Adamson and the fyra actors playing the Pevensies.^[19] When cast, Barnes was set to tour with the Royal National Theatre's production of The History Boys: producer Mark Johnson joked Barnes "probably isn't the Nation's favourite actor right now".

  Barnes left England without telling the Theatre.^[20] They were furious when they funnen out that he had left them without permission, so they considered suing him for breach of contract, but decided against it.^[17]

• Sergio Castellitto as King Miraz.
  Boken skrevs , alltså den andra boken om man ser efter den ordning de skrevs

  Castellitto was not familiar with the novel, but his kvartet children had enjoyed the first spelfilm. Miraz marks the first time the Italian actor has portrayed a villain, and he funnen it interesting to "act out a stereotype." Nonetheless, he also felt that he and Adamson brought depth to the role, explaining Miraz fryst vatten a soldier, not a feg, and that he takes the throne for his son.

  He compared the character to King Claudius in Hamlet.^[21]

• Pierfrancesco Favino as General Glozelle, Miraz's military commander, who plots with Sopespian to have his king killed in combat with Caspian and Peter in beställning to lead his own attack on the Narnians.
  
  
• 



However, in the end, Glozelle repents and fryst vatten the first to volunteer to go into the Pevensies' world, and in return, fryst vatten granted a good future bygd Aslan. This was Favino's idea, because originally Glozelle would have died in battle. Adamson dubbed the character "a real Benedict Arnold".^[9] Favino fryst vatten able to speak several languages and generally acted as a translator to Adamson on set while working with actors and crew members of multiple nationalities.

• Damián Alcázar as Lord Sopespian.^[23] "In some ways Sopespian turns out to be the real bad guy of the film", Adamson said.

  "Where it seems that Miraz has the upper grabb at the beginning, we see that Sopespian, like Shakespeare's Iago, fryst vatten ansträngande to manipulate the situation".^[9] Alcázar was originally offered the role of Miraz, but once the filmmakers were informed that his little height would prevent him from intimidating Barnes' taller Caspian, Adamson decided to cast him as Sopespian, promising him to still give him a larger role.^[24]

• Vincent Grass as Dr.

  Cornelius: Caspian's mentor,^[25] who fryst vatten half-dwarf. Adamson compared Caspian and Cornelius's relationship to Aristotle and Alexander the Great.^[9] Cornelius's role in the movie fryst vatten significantly smaller than in the novel, and he fryst vatten not named on screen, being referred to only as "Professor".

• Alicia Borrachero as Queen Prunaprismia.^[26] Prunaprismia was Miraz's wife.

  When she had learned that her husband had killed his own brother, she became hjärtekrossad. After Miraz's death, Prunaprismia was the second volunteer to go back to our world (with her child). Because of her repenting, Prunaprismia and her child were promised a good life back in our world.

• Simón Andreu as Lord Scythley.^[27]
• Predrag Bjelac as Lord Donnon.^[28]
• David Bowles as Lord Gregoire.

  He served as one of the marshals during the duel between Peter and Miraz.

• Juan Diego Montoya Garcia as Lord Montoya.

Narnians:

• Liam Neeson reprises his role as the röst of the lion Aslan. Aslan fryst vatten "more parental here, [he] lets the kids, well, man their own mistakes".^[9] Aslan's ingång was filmed as a dream sequence to emphasize his messianic natur, and not man it reflect illa on his absence when Narnia fryst vatten in turmoil.^[29] Although the character fryst vatten considered C.S.

  Lewis' utgåva of Jesus, Neeson "see[s] him more as the spirit of the planet—this living, breathing planet. That's what he stands for, for me; more what the native Americans would believe."^[30] As Aslan has fewer action scenes than in the first bio, the animators funnen it difficult to man him move interestingly. His pose had to be regal, but if he moved his head too much, he would remind viewers of a dog.

  As well as having his storlek increased bygd fifteen percent,^[31] Aslan's eyes were also changed to look less "Egyptian".^[32] Many of his shots were finished at the gods minute.

• Peter Dinklage as Trumpkin, a cynical red dwarf. Dinklage was Adamson and Johnson's first choice, having seen him in The hållplats Agent.^[20] He accepted because "often, you get the hero and the villain and not much in between.

  Trumpkin fryst vatten in between. He fryst vatten not a lovable Snow vit dwarf. Audiences appreciate these cynical characters. It helps parents and adults to go along with the journey."^[33] Dinklage's prosthetics took three hours to apply,^[20] and restricted his performance to his eyes. Even his frown was built into the make-up.

  On his first day of filming, he was bitten bygd småsten flies and fell into a river.

  "We were lucky that he returned after his first day!" recalled Johnson.^[20]

• Warwick Davis as Nikabrik, a black dwarf. He fryst vatten a descendant of Ginarrbrik, who served the vit Witch, and bears one of his rings, which was passed down from each generation.^[34] Mark Johnson acknowledged casting Davis as the treacherous Nikabrik was casting against type:^[20] Berger covered all his face dryckesställe his eyelids in prosthetics, to allow Davis to ward off the audience's perceptions of him.^[35] Nikabrik's nose was based on Berger.^[36] Davis feared filming in the Czech Republic, because the grass fryst vatten filled with nervösa rörelser, so he put elastic bands to hold his trousers against his legs.^[37] Davis portrayed Reepicheep in the BBC production of Prince Caspian.
• Ken Stott as the röst of Trufflehunter the badger.^[38] Adamson called Trufflehunter "a walking and talking Narnian library [who is] totally old-school".^[9] The animators visited a badger skyddad plats to aid in depicting his performance.^[32]
• Eddie Izzard as the röst of Reepicheep, a swashbuckling mouse.

  Over actors auditioned to röst the character.^[39] Izzard approached Reepicheep as less camp and more of a bloodthirsty assassin with a sense of honour (a cross between Mad högsta and a Stormtrooper from Star Wars): Izzard interpreted Reepicheep as someone whose family was killed bygd the Telmarines.^[35] The Narnia series were some of the few books Izzard read as a child, and she cherished them.^[40] When discussing Reepicheep with the animators, Adamson told them to rent as many Errol Flynn films as possible.^[20] Adamson credits Izzard for making the role her own; beforehand, the director was approaching the character similarly to Puss in Boots in Shrek 2.^[41]

• Cornell John as Glenstorm the Centaur.^[42] Adamson had seen John perform in Porgy and Bess in London, and liked his long face.^[35] John imagined the character as being years old, and wanted to convey "honour, pride and tradition".^[39]
• David Walliams as the röst of the svullen Bear.^[45]
• Klara Issova as a Narnian Hag who attempts to resurrect the vit Witch.^[35] She used some Arabic words in her incantation.
• Gomez Mussenden (son of costume designer Isis Mussenden) plays Lightning Bolt, a child Centaur.^[46]
• Jan Pavel Filipensky as Wimbleweather the giant.^[43]
• Shane Rangi as Asterius, an elderly minotaur who aids Caspian.

  Josh Campbell provides the röst for the character. Asterius fryst vatten killed during the raid while holding the gate open to allow some of the army to escape. Rangi also stood in for Aslan, the svullen bära, the varulv, another minotaur, and the wild bära on set.^[47] Rangi played General Otmin in the previous bio and Tavros in The Voyage of The Dawn Treader.

  He was able to see more in the redesigned animatronic minotaur heads, though "in beställning to man the eye line straight and correct, you've actually got to hold your head down, so your view fryst vatten only about a foot and a half in front of you, which still makes it a little bit hard". This resulted in Rangi knocking himself against the rising gate of the Telmarine castle, although he was fine and it was the animatronic head that bore the brunt of the damage.^[48] The costumes were still very hot, reducing him to a "walking waterfall".

  Although a head sculpt of Aslan was used to stand in for the character on the first spelfilm, Rangi had to portray the character on set because Lucy interacts with him more.^[49] Rangi lost kvartet kilograms wearing all his costumes.^[48] Rangi also portrayed the varulv, and he was the physical stand-in for Aslan, the svullen bära, and the wild bear.^[47]

Cameos

Production

[edit]

Writing

[edit]

Before the release of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the screenplay for the sequelPrince Caspian had already been written.^[52] Director Andrew Adamson said the decision was made to follow the publication beställning of the novels because "if we don't man it now we'll never be able to, because the [actors will] be too old".

Prince Caspian, the second published novel in the series, fryst vatten the fourth chronologically. The Horse and His Boy takes place during a time only hinted at in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.^[53] The writers briefly considered combining Caspian with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which the BBC did for their television adaptation.^[43]

Screenwriters Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wanted to explore how the Pevensies felt after returning from Narnia, going from being kings and queens back to an awkward year as school children.

They noted, "[C. S. Lewis] doesn't much consider what it would be like for a King of Narnia to return to being a s schoolchild." They also decided to introduce the Pevensies back into Narnia nearer the uppstart, in beställning to weave the two separate stories of the Pevensies and Caspian, in contrast to the book's structure.^[54] A sense of guilt on the Pevensies' part was added, seeing the destruction of Narnia in their absence,^[55] as was övermod for Peter to enhance the theme of belief: his arrogance means he fryst vatten unable to see Aslan.^[56]

Adamson also desired to man the spelfilm larger in scale; "I've gained confidence having gone through the first.

This time, inom was able to go larger [in] scale, with more extras and bigger battle scenes."^[33] Inspired bygd a övergång in the novel where Reepicheep says he would like to attack the castle,^[57] a new battle scen in which Peter and Caspian man an attempted raid on Miraz's castle was created.^[58] Adamson felt the imagery of mythological Greek creatures storming a castle was highly original.^[19] Markus and McFeely used the sequence to illustrate Peter and Caspian's conflict and Edmund's maturity, in an effort to tighten the script bygd using action as teaterpjäs.

Adamson preferred subtlety to the skådespel scenes, asking his ung male actors not to perform angrily. Adamson copied Alfred Hitchcock bygd "tell[ing] people at the end of the scen, 'Now just give me something where you're not thinking about anything.' bygd using it in context, the audience will read an emotion into it."^[57]

Design

[edit]

Andrew Adamson described the spelfilm as being darker, as it takes place "another years later, [and] Narnia has been oppressed bygd Telmarines for a large period of that time, so it's a dirtier, grittier, darker place than the gods world was".^[59] He added, "This one fryst vatten more of a boy's movie.

It's a harsher world. The villains are human, and that lends a more realistic attitude."^[33] Creatures were designed bygd veteran horror and monster concept artist Jordu Schell^[60] and supervised bygd Howard Berger, who said that Prince Caspian would be more medieval than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.^[55] Alongside Adamson, Berger's children critiqued his designs, aiding the process:^[37] his son thought the werewolf's ears were silly, so they were made smaller.^[35]

For the Narnians, Berger envisioned them as more wild in appearance, as they have been forced into the forests.

He also decided to increase the portrayal of various ages, sizes and races.^[61] The black dwarfs are distinguished from the red dwarfs as they have more leather and jewellery, and a darker colour scheme in their costumes.^[34] Each race of creatures also had their fighting styles made more distinguishable.^[62] The minotaurs have maces, and the centaurs use swords.^[63] The satyrs were redesigned, as their creation on the first rulle had been rushed.^[46] kvartet thousand and six hundred make-up jobs were performed, which Berger believes fryst vatten a record.^[39]

The filmmakers interpreted the Telmarines, including Caspian, as being Spanish because of their pirate origins, which producer Mark Johnson noted made Caspian "a contrast to the lily-white [Pevensies]".^[64] Production designer bekräftelse Ford originally wanted the Telmarines to be French, as they had a confrontational history with the English, who are represented bygd the Pevensies.

This was scrapped as the crew were unable to skott at Pierrefonds Castle, for Miraz's lair, so they went for the Spanish feel.^[65]Weta kurs created masked helmets for their army, and faceplates for the live horses on set. The trick soldiers wield two hundred polearms in two different styles, two hundred rapiers of varying design, over a hundred falchions, two hundred and fifty shields and fifty-five crossbows.

Caspian's own svärd fryst vatten a variation of the Royal Guard's weapons.^[63] Costume designer Isis Mussenden looked to the paintings of El Greco to inspire the Telmarines' costumes.^[55] She wanted to use colours that looked "acidic and hot and cool at the same time", unlike the red and gold seen in the Narnian soldiers.^[34] Their masked helmets are based on conquistadors and samurai.^[66] She visited the armour archives of the storstads- Museum of Art for inspiration.^[39] An eagle märke was incorporated into the characters' lairs to man them feel fascist.^[67]

Filming

[edit]

Eight months were spent scouting locations,^[43] including Ireland,^[68] China and Argentina,^[69] before New Zealand, Prague, Slovenia and Poland were chosen.^[43] Whereas the previous rulle was predominantly shot in New Zealand with a few months of filming in huvud europe, Adamson decided New Zealand lacked enough sound stages to accommodate the larger scale of the film.^[59] The decision to spelfilm most of the picture in europe also allowed the ability to skott during summer in both continents,^[70] although the weather turned out to be so erratic during filming that Adamson joked he had been lied to.

Filming began on February 12, , in Auckland.^[38] The scen where the Pevensies return to the ruinerad Cair Paravel was shot at Cathedral Cove.

The filmmakers chose the location because it had a tunnel-like båge, which echoed the tåg passage the children go into before being summoned back into Narnia.^[65]Henderson Valley Studios was used for the Pevensies' ancient treasure room and the Underground station.^[39][71]

On April 1, , the crew began filming at Barrandov Studios in Prague.^[72] There, sets such as Miraz's castle, Aslan's How and the underground hiding places of the Narnians were created.^[58] The foot-tall (61&#;m) castle was built to scale because Adamson felt he overused digital sets on the gods film.^[57] The castle was built in the open air during winter, where the temperature would drop to −4&#;°F (−20&#;°C).^[71] Miraz's courtyard fryst vatten the largest set in production designer bekräftelse Ford's career, including the previous Narnia bio.

Aslan's How was modified into the hideout after filming for those scenes was finished.^[58] To create Trufflehunter's den, Ford's crew put a camera inre a badger's den to study what it should look like.^[43] The den's roof had to be raised bygd three inches because Ben Barnes was too tall.

In June , they shot the bridge battle nära Bovec in the Soča Valley, Slovenia.^[73] The location was chosen for its resemblance to New Zealand.

A large bridge was built, which was modelled on the one Julius namn på en berömd romersk ledare eller en klassisk sallad built to cross the Rhine.^[65] Whereas namn på en berömd romersk ledare eller en klassisk sallad supposedly built his bridge in ten days, the filmmakers had around forty. The schedule was short though, but the authorities would only allow them this build time to not completely störa normal summer activities on the lake.

The filmmakers made a trenchcoat to change the river's course, so they could deepen the drained sides of the riverbed so it looked like one could drunkna in it. The crew also cut down trees for shots of the Telmarines building the bridge; the trees were moved to another side of the river for decoration.^[74] The bridge stood for two months before being dismantled.^[75] As part of the clean-up, the cut-down trees and parts of the bridge were sent to a recycling plant, while other portions of the bridge were sent to the studio for close-ups shot against bluescreen.^[74]

Part of the battle was shot at Ústí nad Labem in the Czech Republic.^[76] Only the ingång to Aslan's How was built on location.

Adamson wanted Peter and Miraz's duel to feel unique and not like a controlled, overly choreographed fencing match: Moseley and Castellitto began training for the en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film in November The trick coordinator Allan Poppleton doubled for Castellitto in some shots because they are similar in storlek. For claustrophobic shots, cameras were built into their shields.^[77] The main camera was placed on a grad track surrounding the ruin it takes place on.^[43] The filmmakers dug a large hole in the ground for the scen where the Narnians cause the pillars supporting the growth nära Aslan's How to collapse on the Telmarines.

S

The earth was then restored following completion of the scen. They also had to restore the grass after filming numerous cavalry charges. 18, fern plants were imported to the Czech Republic to create a forest. A en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film shot in Poland, which involved building a cliff face, also had to leave no trace behind.^[71] Filming finished bygd September 8, ^[78]

Effects

[edit]

Prince Caspian has over 1, special effects shots, more than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe's effects shots, yet the rulle had less time to complete them.^[55] The scale of special effects led Andrew Adamson to base production in the UK, to take advantage of new tax credits.

Therefore, it legally qualifies as a British film.^[79] This also meant the director only had to walk fem minutes from the editing room to supervise the effects.^[80] British visual effects companies the Moving Picture Company and Framestore CFC were hired to create the visual effects alongside Weta Digital. Framestore worked on Aslan, Trufflehunter and the door in the air; Scanline did the River-god; Weta created the varulv, the wild bära and Miraz's castle; MPC and Escape Studios did the main battle, the passage scen, the castle assault, the council scenes and all the other creatures.^[80][81][82]

Alex Funke, who worked on The Lord of the Rings, directed the film's miniatures unit.^[55] These include 1/24th- and 1/th-scale miniatures of Miraz's castle.^[63] A scale model was built of the Narnians' cave hideouts during the climactic battle, which the actor playing the giant Wimbleweather was filmed against.^[83] One of the improvements made over the previous rulle was to man the centaurs walk during dialogue scenes, so Cornell John as Glenstorm wore Power Risers (mechanical stilts with springs), to mimic a horse's canter and height.^[58] The animatronic Minotaur heads were also improved to properly lip sync,^[83] although this was not as successful as hoped and had to be revamped digitally.^[84]

In the climactic battle, extras stood in for the Narnians, while extras were used for the Telmarines.

These were digitally duplicated until there were 1, Narnians and 5, Telmarines onscreen. The animators funnen it easier to create entirely digital centaurs and fauns, rather than mix digital legs with real actors.^[80] The dryads were entirely computer-generated, whereas in the first rulle digital petals had been composited over actors.^[32] However, Adamson had chosen to man the centaurs not wear armour, meaning the animators had to man the human–horse joint behave more cohesively.

Combining digital characters with actors, such as when Lucy hugs Aslan, had become easier since the first spelfilm, as lighting had improved.^[80] To achieve Lucy hugging Aslan, Framestore even replaced Georgie Henley's ledd with a digital version.^[32] For the gryphons, a motion control rig was created for the actors to ride on.

The rig could simulate subtle movements such as wing beats for realism.^[31] Adamson cited the river-god as the character he was most proud of. "It was a really masterful effect: to control vatten like that fryst vatten incredibly difficult", he said. "The [visual effects company] told us they'd been waiting to do a shot like that for ten years."^[80]

The spelfilm features catapults resembling windmills, that can fire rapidly, and a belägringsvapen that can fire three projectiles at a time.

The practical versions of these were metall with fibreglass painted and aged to resemble wood on top. Weta created props of the missiles thrown bygd the Telmarine verktyg. The practical utgåva of the catapult had its upper half painted blue, to composite a digital utgåva programmed for rapid firing movement.^[85]
