Co-producer Douglas Gresham was interviewed and revealed pretty interesting information about the filming process. He said that he was in Prague to look at one of the most fabulous sets ever built, Miraz’s Castle, which is what they are filming right now. He told us that the footage they have so far looks spectacularly good, even richer and somehow stronger than LWW. He also said that the increased maturity of the children and their acting skills were remarkable. This is going to be one seriously great movie.

Slovenia's 24ur has posted a video about Prince Caspian in Slovenia. This year’s largest Disney film project, Prince Caspian means the biggest publicity ever for Bovec. Millions of filmgoers will see the region’s Soca river and a fairytale bridge. The first crew members are coming to Bovec in May 2007.

The greatest attraction will probably be the wooden bridge, which will be made by the Primorje factory in Ajdovscina. It will be 60 metres long and 7 metres wide. This is the sort of bridge that was in fact designed by Caesar, which means that it will be an example of a truly old bridge, made from pine wood. The cavalry will cross the bridge, which will collapse. Then the soldiers will be taken to another land. You can see the whole article (video translation) HERE and watch the 24ur video HERE.

Associate Producer David Minkowski was interviewed by the Czech Film Commission on the Prince Caspian shoot taking place in Prague. " It is a big load and, at the same time, a challenge. In a relatively small town like Prague it's really very hard to find enough good people and equipment for two Hollywood films at the same time" said David Minkowski.

The shooting of Prince Caspian in the New Zealand is now complete, and the production is currently filming in the Czech Republic. Up at Barrandov, Prince Caspian began shooting Sunday, April 1st at the Prague Studios.

Director Andrew Adamson chose the confluence of the river Soca and its tributary Gljun in northeastern Slovenia for the setting of the final scenes of the film. The parts filmed in the Bovec region will feature scenes of 300 soldiers running over a bridge and its spectacular destruction. The shooting on the emerald river is to take place in the first part of June. The crew that is to prepare the setting is to arrive in Slovenia already in April. Its members will build a wooden beam bridge, resembling the bridges built by Julius Caesar and his legionaries during the Gallic War.

Shooting end is envisaged for August. Post-production will then begin in England.

Some news about the production set were given. A large base camp supporting 200 cast and crew from the Narnia movies has been set up in an old quarry near Lake Moeraki, in South Westland. The film crew arrived at the weekend in a fleet of 40 trucks. Essential staff are helicoptered in to the set at the mouth of the Moeraki River. Numbers are capped at 60 people. As the film employs four children, two of them minors, they can only work certain hours. However, filming should still be wrapped up in about three days. In a few weeks’ time, everyone will move next to the Czech Republic. There was a food tent big enough to seat for 200, although some food was being flown in to the set. A truck carried portable toilets and there was even hot water on tap.

At a press conference in Auckland, director Andrew Adamson confirmed that filming on Prince Caspian will soon begin at undisclosed locations around New Zealand. He also said that he will not be directing the third Narnia film. He talked about how much the childern have grown over the years: "They’re growing surprisingly fast. We just saw Georgie and Skandar yesterday and Skandar’s grown probably about a foot since the last film", Andrew said. He explained that Prince Caspian will probably be a little darker than LWW, partly because the children are older, but partly because it’s a different story.
