Ireland rivals New Zealand for Narnia
Ireland is in competition with New Zealand to be the location for the
filming of Prince Caspian, the second film in The Chronicles of Narnia
series.
The Irish Independent reported: "Disney scouts are here checking out
locations in several counties for Prince Caspian."
An industry source added: "The location scouts have been here for two weeks.
They have also been looking at sites in Britain."
Prince Caspian is the sequel to Christmas blockbuster The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe, which has already grossed €600m worldwide since its
December release.
More than €200m was spent on the production of The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe in New Zealand, which was directed by New Zealander Andrew Adamson.
The films are based on the books by Belfast-born author CS Lewis and the
Northern Irish landscape was the inspiration for Narnia..
