  • "Lion, Witch" Cast Announced
    By Garth FranklinMonday, July 12th 2004 6:47PM
    The four young stars in the new film adaptation of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" have finally revealed themselves to the world according to The New Zealand Herald.

    All four were involved in a cricket game being filmed in the grounds of Monte Cecilia House in Hillsborough when PM Helen Clark visited the set. Their names have been a closely guarded secret despite working around Auckland for the past month.

    The actors are: Georgie Henley, 9, from London, who plays the lead character Lucy; Skandar Keynes, 12, also from London, who plays Edmund; Anna Popplewell, 15, from West Yorkshire, who plays Susan; and William Moseley, 17, from Gloucestershire, who plays the eldest brother Peter.

    The youngest and oldest are newcomers, Keynes has had one role and Popplewell has appeared in three TV shows and the films "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "Mansfield Park". The quartet join veteran actors Tilda Swinton, Dawn French, James McAvoy and Rupert Everett.

    Production manager Tim Coddington said everything is on schedule and they have another ten days of outdoor shooting to get through in Auckland before the crew moves to the South Island in mid-October. Most of the filming has been conducted on the indoor set built in the old Hobsonville air force base.
