One year after the incredible events of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy.
The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia’s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz’s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.
Directed once again by veteran director Andrew Adamson, screenplay by Andrew Adamson and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and produced by Mark Johnson, Andrew Adamson and Philip Steuer, the film reunites the original cast and creative team behind the blockbuster first film in the series.

“Directed once again by veteran director Andrew Adamson”
no disrespect to Andrew Adanson but does a 41 year old director with a total of 4 movies (includeing this) under him constitute a veteran?

Who hired a director who directed Shrek 1 and 2.I mean Shrek is good and all but it’s a cartoon.The Chronicles of Narnia is something similiar to The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.Now I heard that Andrew Adamson will not direct anymore Chronicles of Narnia after this one.I could’nt be happier.

The success of a film does not depend on how experienced a director is. ‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe’, ranked to being one of the top 30 films in history, which is quite an achievement. And, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, is nothing like ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘The Lord of the Rings’, eventhough it is more or less in the same genre. And, yes, Anrew Adamson will be directing the third installment of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’.
