Prince Caspian pushed to 2008

Originally, the plans had been to release a Prince Caspian move as early as next year. But now it appears that we will have to wait until 2008.

According to The Reporter the announcement from Disney came hours after Columbia Pictures announced that they would release Walden’s The Water Horse on December 8, 2007. While the article states that Disney feared the films would cannibalize each other, it has appeared for several weeks that Caspian would be pushed back to 2008. Adamson is still working on the screenplay and casting director Pippa Hall has said she won’t begin casting for the role of Caspian till this fall.

Too bad. But hopefully they will at least make the film sooner, rather than later, so the children will not have aged too much from the first film. One of the keys to Narnia in the books is that you can be too old to be allowed back.
