'Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian' Stars Get Royal Red-Carpet Treatment As They Defend Movie's Romantic Twist
NEW YORK — Nearly 1300 years may have passed in Narnia since the last big-screen adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved books, but the Pevensies were still looking youthful and beautiful at the red-carpet premiere for "The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian" last night in New York City. William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley and Skander Heynes were all smiles alongside the likes of Aslan and the White Witch, in the form of Liam Neeson and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton.
But it was a night dominated by the young stars of the hugely popular franchise ("The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" grossed nearly $750 million worldwide). Despite being the lead of the last Narnia adventure, William Moseley admitted to MTV News, "I still feel like a newcomer to this whole premiere thing." Indeed, Mosely made his film acting debut as Peter Pevensie in December 2005.
"It's a lot less freezing," Popplewell said, comparing the beautiful night in Midtown Manhattan to the London premiere two-and-a-half years ago. "It was a royal premiere ... and I had to really grit my teeth with my coat on," she recalled.
Few coats were seen in the sunny early evening on this go-round. In fact, one had to feel sorry for the Narnia guards in full battle regalia lined up along the red carpet.
Meanwhile, the titular star of the new adventure, Ben Barnes, confided that he had been dreading the premiere's gauntlet of reporters and photographers. He exuded calm, however, as he told MTV, "It's not as crazy as I thought it would be." Later, Barnes would inspire some hysteria simply by leaving the carpet to sign photos for the many Narnia fans who had come out for the event.
In recent weeks, Barnes' face seems to have been as omnipresent on the streets of New York as Starbucks — a fact that's been noticed by the actor. "It's so bizarre and surreal [to see the posters]," Barnes laughed. Asked if he'd followed the fan reactions to him since his casting had been announced, Barnes said, "I looked online once when I got the job and saw people write, 'I hate that they chose Ben Barnes. He's too old. He's got the wrong hair.' And then I looked again a few weeks ago, and they said they were sick of seeing my face everywhere. I won't be going [online] again."
If Barnes did go online again, he'd see that much of the prerelease chatter about "Prince Caspian" has been about a new element that the filmmakers contributed: a romance between Caspian and Susan. Barnes said he initially shared the concerns of many die-hard Narnia fans, "I was deeply concerned about [the romance]."
Director Andrew Adamson carefully defended the plot addition. "I think it's very sensitively handled," he said. "The kids are growing up. If you look at Ben and you look at Anna, it seems really implausible that they wouldn't have some feelings for each other."
Moseley is confident that the change only helps Lewis' story. "I think it's a much-needed addition," he said. "It adds a sweet, nostalgic touch."
But will it be the kind of change that fans can accept? Adamson was all optimism as he walked the final steps of the red carpet. "I think the Narnia fans are going to be happy," he told MTV News with conviction. "I'm a hard-core Narnia fan. I've seen the movie with some hard-core fans. I think people who see this movie are going to see the book that they read. I'm very respectful of these books. I grew up with them."
Check out everything we've got on "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian."

Mint Royale - Singin In The Rain Remix Set To Top Charts
A three-year song looks likely to top the UK singles charts this weekend after being used by Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson.
A remix of Singin' in the Rain from Mancunian dance duo Mint Royale is number one in the midweek chart, according to Music Week, with 10,000 more units sold than its nearest competitors, Rihanna's Take A Bow and the Ting Tings' That's Not My Name.
The revamped version of the musical classic, which reached number 20 after its 2005 release, is favourite to top the chart after Sampson performed a rain-soaked break dancing routine to it on Saturday's live Britain's Got Talent final.
The song, which is only available as a download, re-entered the chart at number 28 after the 14-year-old's body popping performance in the reality show semi-final and now is set for the top after he won the ITV1 talent contest.
"We just wanted to say a huge congratulations to George Sampson for winning Britain's Got Talent," said a message on Mint Royale's MySpace page.
"A massive 14 million people watched his winning dance to our very own Singin' in the Rain, earning him a big pot of money and a slot at this year's Royal Variety Performance."
Gabriella Cilmi's Sweet About Me is also likely to enter the top ten this weekend.

Irish interest in BBC's new Oliver show
After Saturday's selection show, there is Irish interest in the final two dozen for the new BBC talent series 'I'd Do Anything'.
The winners will play Nancy and Oliver in the upcoming West End revival of the classic Lionel Bart musical 'Oliver!'.
Jessie, 18, from Kerry, Niamh, 17, from Northern Ireland, and Rachel, 26, from Northern Ireland, are the three female Irish contestants competing to play Nancy. Gareth, 12, from Derry, is among the dozen Oliver hopefuls.
As with previous BBC hit musical talent searches 'Any Dream Will Do' and 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?', 'I'd Do Anything' will be presented by Graham Norton and feature Andrew Lloyd Webber, Denise Van Outen and John Barrowman as judges.
The producers have also added writer, actor and Dame Edna Everage creator Barry Humphries to the judging panel.
Irish contestants have had success on the show before; Galway native Aoife Mulholland was famously fourth to Connie Fisher in 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?', and the pair are currently sharing singing duties in the stage musical of the 'Sound of Music' in London.
The first public vote and eliminations will take place on Saturday, 29 March.

Kylie, Coldplay duet 'too sexy'
Coldplay axed a duet with Kylie Minogue from their new album, saying it was "too sexy".
The band teamed up with the Australian singer for Luna but frontman Chris Martin admits it just didn’t fit in with the serious tone of their new LP Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.
Chris said: "At this point we cannot be that sexy. It’s a song called Luna and Kylie was particularly brilliant on it.
"She writes most of our stuff - and we design most of her outfits!"
However, the musician has promised fans they will get to hear the song, saying: "It will be on a record we will put out in 2009, sometime at the end of next year. It will be track nine, I imagine."
Meanwhile, Chris claims to be the only person in the world who believes in Zeus.
The 31-year-old star, who was raised as a Christian, is exploring his faith but is interested in the Greek god of sky and thunder.
He said: “I’m always trying to work out what he or she or it is. I’m not sure who’s right. I don’t know if it’s Allah or Jesus or Mohammed or Zeus.
But I’d maybe go for Zeus.
"I lay claim to being the only person in the world who still believes in Zeus."
Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is released next week.

Jennifer Hudson - Parker Hudson Gives Sex A Young Black Face
Oscar winner JENNIFER HUDSON was added to the cast of SEX AND THE CITY for the cult TV show's movie adaptation so there would be a young black face in the mix.
Sarah Jessica Parker reveals director Michael Patrick King was very keen to sign Hudson up to play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant in the much-anticipated new film - because she could serve two huge areas of Sex And The City's audience.
She explains, "First of all we needed to have a 20-year-old in this movie; we really have to remember that there is a significant audience now that are very, very young.
"It's a great way of reminding people who Carrie was when she came to New York; what was New York, what did it mean to her...And African-American women and women of colour have been a big part of our audience for a long time (and) we really haven't been responsible to them."
And Parker couldn't imagine a better onscreen assistant for her Bradshaw: "She is especially lovely in this movie... She is remarkably beautiful and she's probably about eight inches taller than I am and she is a presence."
