A few days ago Mark Johnson sat down with Rebecca Murray from About.com to discuss his new movie “The Notebook”. At the end of the interview he spent a few minutes talking about The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. He confirms that the four children are unknown British actors and he talks about the relationship between the production and the C.S. Lewis Estate.

Scotsman.com states that James Cosmo will be starring in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

These scans were taken from The Press on June 16th. They feature workers at the location for the climactic final battle in next years’ Narnia movie, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The pictures show a montage with a helicopter at the location and Tilda Swinton with Andrew Adamson.

Up to 1000 people are expected to converge on Flock Hill Station near Arthurs Pass this spring to film the climactic battle scene from C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
