We already knew that Andrew Adamson, director of the clueless and lacklustre The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), was coming back to direct Prince Caspian. Last Sunday, Infuse Live reported from Comic-Con 2006:
Producer Mark Johnson . . . and director Andrew Adamson didn’t want to do a second Narnia film unless they could figure out how to make it bigger, badder, and overall better than the first. Just about six months ago, they finally figured out a way to adapt the story of Prince Caspian in this way. Though it will remain faithful to Lewis’ story, look for quite a bit of added material to enhance the film and make it significantly bigger in scale than The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe.
Yeah, well, we all heard how “faithful” the first movie was going to be to Lewis’ story, and look what happened. And are Johnson and Adamson implying that they will “add” even more “material” to “enhance” this film than they did the last time? The mind boggles.
