Disney throws open Narnia premiere to fans

For years the red carpet has been the domain of celebrities and film executives but one Hollywood studio has decided to buck the trend.

 

Walt Disney will create what it describes as "the largest cinema in history" when it opens up the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian premiere to 10,000 fans.

The event will be held in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital's redevelopment appeal and will allow fans to rub shoulders with the show's stars such as Ben Barnes, the young British actor playing Prince Caspian, Liam Neeson, the voice of Aslan the lion, and director Andrew Adamson, who also made the Oscar-winning Shrek.

The film also sees the introduction of new characters including swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep, voiced by Eddie Izzard, and the faithful badger Trufflehunter, voiced by veteran TV actor Ken Stott.

Technicians will install a giant cinema screen into The O2 arena in London to screen the follow-up of the 2005 film The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Prince Caspian is the second of seven planned films based on the work of CS Lewis.

Tickets for the premiere on June 19th cost £12.50.

The film is released in cinemas across the country on June 26.
