The Chronicles of Narnia Will Have a Sequel

The Chronicles of Narnia has earned more than 475 million dollars in the U.S., which is enough to convince producers to invest in a sequel.  The original cost of the film was $180 million, so the film has more than doubled the initial investment.

Producers have not yet named a director for the sequel, however Andrew Adamson, who directed Narnia will not be returning.

The sequel will be called Prince Caspian, which will be adapted for the screen from the fourth book of the Chronicles of Narnia series.  The new entry will follow the film’s heros as they return to Narnia centuries after their first visit, to come to the aid of Prince Caspian, who is battling the armies of his uncle Miraz.

Filming for Prince Caspian is set to begin at the end of 2006, and the film should ready for audiences by Christmas, 2007.
