Article, Gallery Updates: Interview Magazine Scans & Easy Virtue Stills
August 30th, 2008

Hi everyone! Some very nice updates to share today.

Jessica-Biel.org posted new stills from Easy Virtue.

Also, some HQ pictures from the set of Prince Caspian surfaced online.

And, as promised, here are the amazing (and huge!) scans from Interview Magazine (September Issue). Thanks to spellbound for them.

Interview Magazine also made a few questions for Ben and you can read the transcript bellow or you may download the audio file (Thanks _tigermilk!).

It’s hard to believe when looking at him, but Ben Barnes’s first stab at fame came in front of a microphone, and not a movie camera. Barnes was 17 and living with his folks in Wimbledon, England, when Pop Idol talent-spotter Simon Fuller signed the young man up to his label, 19 Management.

Article, Forum, Gallery, Media, Production Updates: Ben reads ‘Prince Caspian’ for you
July 11th, 2008

Hello everyone!

Since these mp3s have been quite successful at different LJ Communities, I have decided to post them here so you all can grab them. You might use them as your ringtone, alarm, Windows start-up tune or just sync them to your ipod. In short, do whatever you want with them! They are some snippets of some Ben’s quotes and Ben reading “Prince Caspian”. Big thanks to the beloved LJ Community of mine Narnia Dazzle.

» “Who’s you daddy?” from this video (2:13). Download it here. (Right click and save as…)

» “Will you be my princess” Download it here. (Right click and save as…)

» Ben reading ‘Prince Caspian’: “Prince Caspian lived in a great castle in the center of Narnia…” from this video. Download it here. (Right click and save as…)

Please do not hotlink. I will find out one way or another and I will take them down immediately, so please don’t do it, it’s rude. Also, download them as soon as possible as they might not be up for long (Tran might hunt me down for this as we have a reputation to keep. No joke).

In other news, here’s a very interesting article from The Independent (UK) which talks about Ben, definitely worth the read.

The lovely member of BBF at LJ inemien has once again scanned an article on Ben and his Narnia co-star William from the dutch magazine Hitkrant. Those dutch sure love them some Bin Bons…

Here’s the translated interview (Thanks inemien!):

Battle of the Narnia-boys: William vs. Ben

Intro: William Moseley was THE hunk from ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, but newcomer Ben is on his way to take that place.

In the movie you do some serious heroic stuff. How tough are you in daily life?

William: I dare to take a challenge, especially when it comes with something really adventurous. TO me, Narnia was an amazing challenge, and I’m happy to have started with it. If that was a good thing, is up to you.

Ben: I am as brave as Prince Caspian, although I have to admit I don’t find him very tough. He is quite insecure about what he has to do, and he believes in people who are better at things than he is. He doesn’t really want to be a king, nor a leader. That’s just like me; I’m not ready to be famous yet.


Do you dare to take risks?

Ben: No, not really. Someone first has to challenge me before I take a risk, and my younger brother is very good at that. Because of him I’ve done a lot of things which otherwise I’d never do. I’m still glad he gets to me like that. It would be a shame if I’d regret things later.

Article Updates: ‘Joepie’ Magazine Scans
July 9th, 2008

Good day everyone!

Big thanks to inemien from BBF LJ Community for scanning this interview from the belgian magazine ‘Joepie’. Here they are:

She has also very kindly translated the interview for us!

Introduction: Who is the most remarkable presence on the scene lately? Ben Barnes’ handsome face on posters of the movie ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’. We have had the chance to look in his gorgeous eyes in NY. Sway with us!

Well, Ben Barnes, where have you been our entire lives?

Mainly on the theatre. I’ve been acting for about 10 years, but this is the first time for me to play a lead role in a film. Before ‘Prince Caspian’ I just couldn’t get a hold of movie parts.

Could that have anything to do with the fact that you look so horrible?

(laughs) Yes, I think that may have been the main cause. Or maybe I am too annoying. There have been long periods when I just couldn’t find a job, and I had to work in bars. Sometimes I wondered what I would do if my acting career would never work out…
