Plans for Narnia sequel revealed

Narnia actors Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Georgie Henley
The people behind The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe film are going to start on the next movie this year.

The follow-up to the recent film will be Prince Caspian, based on the fourth book in the series of seven Chronicles of Narnia written by CS Lewis.

Andrew Adamson, who directed the first film, has said they need to get a move on because of the age of the actors.

Unless production starts soon there is a danger the young actors will get too old to play the parts a second time.

The Chronicles of Narnia
1 - The Magician's Nephew
2 - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
3 - A Horse and his Boy
4 - Prince Caspian
5 - Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6 - The Silver Chair
7 - The Last Battle
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe has made more than £283m ($500m) around the world, prompting producers Walden Media to speed up making a sequel.

In Prince Caspian, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia around a year after they left the magical land and find much has changed.

They're called to help Prince Caspian try to reclaim the throne from his uncle who has falsely made himself King.
