Caspian film to debut at O2 arena

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian film will be premiered in London to an audience of 10,000.

For the first time the capital's O2 arena will be installed with a giant cinema screen.

Disney have said the premiere will be the "biggest single screen, shared audience experience ever".

The movie, which stars Tilda Swinton and Liam Neeson and will be released in June, is the follow-up to the 2005 film The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Based on the best selling series of books by CS Lewis, the film took $750m worldwide.

Disney said the latest instalment of The Chronicles will be "bigger and more spectacular than ever before".

The movie is also set to include more action scenes and visual effects.

Tickets for the premiere will go on sale to the public on 9 May and a donation of the cash made will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.

Meanwhile, the world premiere took place in New York on Wednesday night and featured stars from the cast including Ben Barnes who plays Prince Caspian.
