MTV's 'problem', Media Updates..
There is now an entire section on MTV which examines the romance between Caspian and Susan, with another new press interview with Anna:

MTV: 'Prince Caspian' Stars, Director Defend Romantic Subplot.

There's also another page on MTV, asking readers to discuss, and I quote, "the problem of Susan Pevensie": MTV - ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’: The Problem of Susan Pevensie - Discuss!

The only PROBLEM is that MTV is trying to make controversy out of a minor addition to the movie in order to leach off of Narnia's popularity! angry angry angry

The Rachel Ray show is now available for viewing thanks to WMOSELEY.COM:



There is also a transcript and audio interview from Anna and Peter Dinklage (Trumpkin) press conference - NARNIAWEB - NYC Interview Series: Peter Dinklage and Anna Popplewell:

Yeah, well, a lot of people think it's very sad, I think it's very realistic really because if she doesn't come back to Narnia for the next 10–15 years, then she's bound to fill her life with new things and leave that bit behind. I think the line is she because too interested in nylons and lipstick? Which people take in different ways. I don't think Susan goes off to join the playboy mansion, but I think she gets more interested in other things in her life.laughing

I have revamped the video clips section. You can now view Video Clips: Films and Video Clips: Interviews. It's not complete, but its a start!

Anna in Mexico, to tour the world for Prince Caspian
Anna just finished traveling Mexico, and will travel lots more - including Japan, Israel, Prague, Paris, London, L.A., Madrid and Munich to promote Prince Caspian!

The young cast of "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" are getting a royal workout as they traipse around the globe to promote the feature that opens today (5/16). "We just got back from Mexico City. We go to Japan Saturday, then back to L.A., then Israel, Prague, Paris, London, Madrid and Munich," reports William Moseley, a.k.a. Peter Pevensie, a.k.a., King Peter the Magnificent of Narnia. His schedule goes into July. Creators.com: 'Narnia's' Young Cast Gets a Worldwide Workout.

*EDIT* - The Tokyo press conference took place, and it seems as if Anna and Skandar opted out of this one, Anna probably getting ready for her upcoming play! Hopefully she'll be able to attend some of the others

Thanks to Kaona, who found this video of Anna on Mexican Chilean news, sporting a very different new look!




Thanks so much to Faye from SKANDAR.NET, we also have a few candid pictures of Anna in Mexico, as well as a few larger candids from New York, which we reported on earlier! laughing

Having a blast in Mexico:

Prince Caspian is here!!
Some reviews and commentaries...

The most fascinating transformation is that of Susan (Anna Popplewell), who as a teenager seems to have ripened and sharpened simultaneously. When she dons her quiver of red arrows to do battle with Miraz's armored forces, she's the very picture of young womanhood, both soft and strong.

In a way, Susan embodies the strengths and failings of the "Narnia" series, which, if all goes according to plan, will eventually comprise seven movies. When she aims and fires, she perfectly conveys the vicarious pleasures of vanquishing the enemy, by way of a sure eye, steady hand and superior moral force. But her most pivotal and stirring scene, wherein she does single-handed battle with an oncoming cavalry in a wooded glen, ends with a retrograde whimper, reminding viewers that even as expansive and humanist an intellect as Lewis's was still a prisoner of his times where sexism was concerned.
The Washington Post: 'Prince Caspian': Fantasy Rules With a Iron Hand in Narnia

Director Andrew Adamson ("Shrek" and the first "Narnia") must have been shouting "More! Faster! Bigger!" through his bullhorn. The action scarcely flags as chases on horseback and broadsword duels pile upon catapult barrages and clashing armies. Hot-tempered Peter bristles at Caspian's chastely romantic attentions to Susan, who offers the classic brush-off, "It would never work. After all, I am 1,300 years older than you."Star Tribune: The new 'Narnia' is bigger, better

3 Days!!!
...But Moseley has a sentimental side, too. He was disappointed to find out there were no plans for a wrap party, so he took matters into his own hands and organized one.

"I went 'round with this big microphone on set to everybody and said, 'There's going to be a wrap party tonight!' " It was decided that as long as he organized it, a certain amount of money would go toward drinks. "So I had to stand around the door all night doing the wristbands, making sure everyone had a good time."

"It's probably the only thing he has ever organized in his life," Popplewell teases. "Will is not the most organized person."

"...I was in editorial a few weeks ago, doing my dialogue recording for some bits and pieces, and Andrew said, “Oh, you know just this week I’ve been figuring out the credits song and I’ve got this girl Regina Spektor,” and I was like, “REGINA SPEKTOR? WHAT?” And so when that song came on at the end and it’s all about kind of not coming back and everything and I just…a little tear, maybe, a little tear. But I think I was kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing. I mean I don’t really have any concrete conclusions to draw about it at the moment. I need to watch it again.''
