What adventures will Caspian endure in this new film?
3 years have passed since the last movie. The Pevensie children have aged a year. Caspian has been successfully ruling despite his doubts, and even though he is more sure of his authority he still resenting growing up without his parents.
Were you a fan of the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ before you got cast?
Yes, I still have the collection of books that have notes that I wrote when I was 8 years old, so being part of these movies is amazing. What’s more, there was this TV Show about it in 1989 and I used to watch it. Caspian was younger, it was played by an 8 year old. At that time, it was Sam West who brought the adult Caspian to life in ‘The Voyage of The Dawn Treader’.
How’s Caspian in this new film?
It is obvious that he’s an idealist. In the first film he has to deal with the pressure of becoming sovereign. Now that he is the king, he wants to be the best.
Will things change between the Pevensie children and Caspian?
The Pevensie are a very tight group and that doesn’t change. But now I play the role of big brother / uncle. In fact, in real life their moms (Georgie’s, Skandar’s and Will’s) call me “Uncle Ben” because if someone wants to go to a water park or the like, it’s me who has to take them. It’s a good work atmosphere.
Has your life changed with ‘Narnia’?
It has helped me build up my confidence. I’ve done 3 different movies between the last and this one. A film called ‘Locked In’, in which I play the father of a little girl in coma, and ‘Killing Bono’ in which I play an aspiring rock star. I think my confidence has grown thanks to the variety of genres and also thanks to working with different directors and film crews. So I’ve returned to Caspian with a new sense of confidence.
