Originally recorded October 29, 2006. Welcome to the Narnia Fans Cast Archive. These episodes were originally recorded between 2006 and 2009 during the early years of The Chronicles of Narnia film series.

Step through the wardrobe and enjoy this piece of Narnia Fans history. In Episode 14 of Narnia Fans Cast, John Burkitt, Paul Martin, and Roger Thomas discuss the latest developments surrounding Prince Caspian, including William Moseley’s comments that he still had not received the script despite the approaching production schedule. They also examine The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe‘s BAFTA nomination, the competition it faced from major films such as Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Wallace & Gromit, and other recent Narnia news. The episode also features a special Bard’s Tale presentation, Dying for Edmund, an original dramatic short by John Burkitt imagining the tense negotiation between Aslan and Jadis over Edmund’s fate. In the second half of the show, the hosts debate whether Prince Caspian could still meet its planned 2008 release date, whether it could surpass the first film at the box office, explore questions of race, harmony, and diversity in Narnia, and discuss which Narnian character most closely reflects C.S. Lewis himself. Podcast produced by NarniaFans.com. Music by Patrick Swanson. For more Narnia news, articles, podcasts, and community discussions, visit NarniaFans.com.
