Skandar's great-great-uncle, Depression-era economist John Maynard Keynes, however, would have been surprised by the prestigious budget the film enjoyed. What Skandar's great-great-great-grandfather Charles Darwin would have thought of his descendant working alongside talking animals is unknown. She is not the only one of the main cast to have family involvement in the film: as Skandar's voice broke during filming, his sister did some additional dialogue recording on his behalf. The older Lucy is played by Georgie's older sister Rachael.
#FILM NARNIA 5 FULL#
In 2019 Georgie Henley was cast in a major role in a Game of Thrones spin-off pilot titled Blood Moon, but this did not proceed to a full series. She also appeared in The Beach (2000), won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Michael Clayton (2007) and played The Ancient One in Doctor Strange (2016). Tilda Swinton (White Witch Queen Jadis) was Queen Isabella in Edward II (1991).
Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen in film and television: William Moseley who played King Peter has since starred in The Royals (2015+) while Anna Popplewell who played Queen Susan (and was trained to use a bow by an archery Olympian) appeared in Reign (2013-2017). Who can they trust in Narnia? Will Aslan be able to help Edmund, and what will be the cost? Can Peter lead an army against the powerful White Witch? CastĪnna Popplewell (Older: Sophie Winkleman) They meet an unexpected ally on their journey, who gives them presents of magical weapons. The Pevensies learn that only Aslan can save Edmund, so they journey to meet him while being hunted by the Witch and her wolves. She petrifies Mr Tumnus, turning him into a stone statue, and Edmund realises at last that she is a villain. Edmund goes to see the Witch, but she has him thrown into a cell. They discover Mr Tumnus has been arrested for fraternising with humans and had his house ransacked by order of the White Witch. Upset, Lucy runs to the Professor, who quickly believes that Narnia is real.Īfter accidentally breaking a window, the Pevensies hide in the wardrobe and enter Narnia.
At home, he tells Peter and Susan that Narnia does not exist and that Lucy was lying. He meets Lucy in Narnia, but doesn't mention meeting the White Witch. She promises more Turkish Delight and to make him her heir if he will introduce her to his family. She appears warm and friendly, giving him hot chocolate and Turkish Delight. In Narnia, Edmund encounters the White Witch. That night, Lucy returns to the wardrobe and is followed by Edmund. Mr Tumnus leads Lucy safely back, but no time has passed on Earth and no-one believes where she has been. He confesses that an evil White Witch wants to kidnap humans as she fears a prophecy that four humans aided by Aslan will end her rule and restore justice and freedom to Narnia. In Narnia she meets a faun 1 named Mr Tumnus, who invites her to his home for tea. Inside is a magical winter wonderland called Narnia. Lucy, the youngest child, hides inside a wardrobe in a spare room. There they stay in a huge house with the eccentric Professor Kirke and his fierce housekeeper Mrs Macready. PlotĪfter a violent, life-threatening air raid, the four children of the Pevensie family, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, are evacuated to the countryside.
Despite the showbusiness maxim advising never to work with children or animals, its success or failure was dependent on the talents of four unknown and inexperienced child actors as well as the realism with which Aslan, the titular lion, could be created. Funded by Walt Disney Pictures, the film was a truly global effort, made in New Zealand, England, Poland, the United States and the Czech Republic. This film, the first in a trilogy of adaptations by Walden Media, was a huge commercial success. In 2005, CS Lewis' beloved tale The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was brought to the cinema screen for the first time, 58 years after this popular children's classic set during the Second World War was published.
