THE LION - NARNIA SEQUEL POSTPONED

The release date of the sequel to THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE has been severely delayed while its special effects are completed. THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN was originally scheduled for release in December 2007, but is now expected to come out in the summer of 2008, according to a spokesman for Disney. Director ANDREW ADAMSON needs more time to polish the fantasy film's special effects. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, starring TILDA SWINTON, and featuring the voices of RAY WINSTONE and LIAM NEESON, became Disney's most successful live-action film of all time, taking an estimated $742 million (GBP393 million) worldwide.
