Product Description

Product Description

The ultimate visual companion and keepsake to the making of the stunning fantasy film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, based on the beloved classic by C.S. Lewis. This book will be the ultimate visual companion to the second movie in the blockbuster Narnia series, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. One year after the incredible events of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, 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 an intriguing 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. This behind-the-scenes guide, written by the on-set publicist, includes riveting accounts of how the screenplay adaptors and storyboard artists brought C.S. Lewis's story to graphic life, where the movie was filmed, an update on the four child actors from the first movie and how the overwhelming success of the first movie affected their lives, a look at the new main characters, details of the special effects, costumes, makeup and more. Four-colour throughout, this book also includes still shots from the film, photos of the production, conceptual art and design, anecdotes from cast and crew, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back to Narnia, 28 April 2008
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

One of the few fantasy movies that was good enough to deserve a sequel was "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe," and the second Chronicle of Narnia is due to show very soon.

But in case you're simply dying to catch a few glimpses of what's in store, Ernie Malik's "Prince Caspian: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion" gives a pretty clear picture of the movie's quality. We get background information, actor interviews, and intricate studies of everything from the CGI to the costumes, the weapons to the color of Miraz' beard.

It begins at the beginning -- the adaptation of C.S. Lewis' novel into a script, the visualizations, editing, and choosing appropriate locations for shooting (in three different countries). There's a lot of detailed recounting of how they shot this scene, or the impact of that scene -- and quite a few interesting plot developments are given away along the road.

There's also studies of the four original actors from the first movie, complete with relaxed interviews about their goals and thoughts on their characters. And then there's the new cast -- Ben Barnes gets several pages on working with the Pevensie actors and on his new role as the heroic young prince, as does Sergio Castellito as the villainous Miraz. There's also Peter Dinklage as the grumpy Trumpkin, Warwick Davis as the far grumpier Binabrik, and a variety of other colorful side characters.

And then it's into the creation and details of the cinematic Narnia -- production design of castles, caves and clearings, intricate costumes (including the Sardinian-Spanish flavor of the Telmarine clothes), musical scores, action choreography, cinematography, and creating the widespread CGI necessary to bring Narnia's inhabitants to life. There's an entire chapter from Weta Workshop on the evolving Narnian and Telmarine armor and weapons -- and the final touch is an afterword by Ben Barnes about his experiences.

Basically, Ernie Malik's guide answers just about any behind-the-scenes questions that a person could have about the upcoming "Prince Caspian" movie, without giving away too much of the plot. In fact, it's best to know what the story is beforehand, lest the bittersweet flavor of some character storylines hint at whether they'll be returning.

And Malik has a very pleasant style, able to transform the slow-paced, dull work of filming into a conversational "you are there" series of anecdotes. He includes bits of relevant information as well, such as the crush that Susan and Caspian seem to have going on, the river god, the ruins of the once-proud palace, and the gathering of Narnia's hidden peoples deep in the woods.

And you can really feel the enthusiasm and dedication of the people who worked on this movie, just by the amount of effort put into making it feel as realistic as a fantasy movie can be. For example, Barnes got the role of Caspian partly because they were able to work a Mediterranean look into his makeup and hair, while Richard Taylor gave a lot of thought to how Narnia's "look" would have evolved over the centuries.

The one disappointment, honestly, is Reepicheep. He's one of the most memorable characters from the Lewis series, and he only gets a few pages at the end. I wanted less concept art and more photos to show how they're pulling off a swashbuckling mouse.

Fortunately the rest of the book doesn't have that trouble -- it's overflowing with photographs. We've got Caspian cornered by dwarves, surrounded by "centaurs" and "fauns in green tights, Miraz's masked army, New Zealand's gorgeous rivers, Peter's stunt riding, and the climactic fights. There's also plenty of concept art, clay models, makeup-trailer shots, big hulking stand-ins, and a lot of men running around in bright green tights.

"Prince Caspian: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion" gives a pretty clear picture of the care and intricate work put into the forthcoming movie. An excellent behind-the-scenes guide.
