Sets Of Prince Caspian The Movie

HEY GUYS U KNW I GOT A INTERESTING PIECE OF INFORMATION.............

HERE IT IS.........

Prince Caspian production designer Roger Ford has worked in the film business for more than four decades but the set for King Miraz’s castle, which was built at Barrandov Studios, was the biggest he has ever designed.

King Miraz’s castle occupied 20,000 square feet and is partly based on Pierrefonds Castle, which is located outside Paris in France.

The castle took 200 carpenters, plasterers and painters 15 weeks to build.

CGI work during the film’s post-production will further increase the scale of Miraz’s castle by a factor of three.

A log bridge that will feature in Prince Caspian’s climactic final scene was built over the River Soca in the Bovec Region of Slovenia and took a team of 20 engineers and workmen 1 month to construct.

Ford based his design for the bridge on the one Julius Caesar built across the Rhine in his battle against the Germans.

To accommodate Ford’s plans industrial engineers temporarily rerouted the flow of the River Soca.

The London tube station where the Pevensie children begin their adventure in Prince Caspian isn’t located in London at all. Ford built the realistic set at the Henderson Studios on New Zealand’s North Island.

Wow it really is amazing. I saw the trailer and I never thought that the station wasn't real. It is also unbelievable about the river which they had to re-route. The effects were really cool. It is surely a movie to watch.

Trailer looks amazing ... really cool.

They really went all out for this. It's amazing how much work goes into some of these huge movies, and most of it is not appreciated by the fans either. But thanks for pointing it out.

I remember from the Matrix Reloaded DVD, they said that they had to build their own strip of interstate freeway for the car chase scene, because they couldn't find a real interstate that fit their idea.
