#THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA 2 MOVIE SERIES#
Pierrefonds itself is no stranger to big and small screens, having appeared in the 1998 version of The Man in the Iron Mask, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Les Visiteurs, Luc Besson’s Joan of Arc, and also as ‘Camelot’ in the popular BBC TV series Merlin. Sets were built at the famous Barrandov Studios, in the Prague suburb of Hlubocepy, including the ‘Dancing Lawn’ (where Caspian meets the varied Narnian creatures) and the interior of Aslan's ‘How’ (the hollow mound containing the broken stone table).įounded back in 1933, the Barrandov Studios have also hosted filming for Oscar-winner Amadeus, Brian De Palma’s Mission: Impossible, the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale and The Bourne Identity.ĭirector Andrew Adamson also opted to have King Miraz’s imposing castle set built outdoors at Barrandov, feeling he’d maybe relied a little too much on digital settings for The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.Īlthough the Telmarines, descendants of pirates, are given a distinctly Spanish vibe, the design of the castle is based on the Château de Pierrefonds, about 50 miles northeast of Paris in France. Once again, New Zealand is mixed with eastern Europe to provide the landscapes of the fantastic country, though this time there’s more of Europe. The four Pevensie children find themselves transported back to Narnia to aid the struggle of Prince Caspian ( Ben Barnes) against his corrupt uncle, King Miraz ( Sergio Castellitto).
