Prince Caspian: “Battles all the way through.”

Prince Caspian: “Battles all the way through.”

Narnia fans — especially those who quibbled with the recent film’s emphasis on pseudo-Spielbergian and pseudo-Jacksonian battle scenes and other gratuitous action setpieces at the expense of character, tone, and thematic significance — might want to note the last paragraph in this story from Variety the other day:

Also given a big push was “The Chronicles of Narnia” sequel. Helmer Andrew Adamson delivered a taped message saying that, unlike the original, “Prince Caspian” will feature “battles all the way through.”

Oh joy. Add this to the list of what are sure to be lame revisions.
