The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and

Introduction
    Four London children—Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy—are sent to Professor Kirke's country home for protection during World War II. Kirke is an eccentric1 man and children find life in the house extremely dull. One day, Lucy suggests playing hide-and-seek. They don't know the game leads them to one huge exciting adventure!
    Lucy thinks she's found a great hiding place when she steps inside a dusty old wardrobe2. Little does she know that it leads to a magical snowy land called Narnia, where animals can talk and all are ruled over by the wise and kind lion Aslan. An evil witch has cursed Narnia to eternal3 winter, leaving the land covered in snow all year round. Before they know it, Lucy and her brothers and sisters find themselves in an epic4 battle to rid the magical land of the witch's curse.

Characters

Susan:
Susan is the elder of the two girls—and doesn't take any nonsense5 from her two brothers.
Edmund:
Edmund is quite a tricky character. The first person he meets in Narnia is the witch!
Lucy:
Lucy is the youngest of the siblings6 and first to enter the land of Narnia.
Peter:
Peter is the oldest of the Pevensie children. He's very brave and sensible.
Mr. Tumnus:
Mr. Tumnus is a faun7, so he has the legs and horns8 of a goat and the body of a man.
The Lion:
Noble Aslan is the rightful ruler of Narnia and everyone looks up to him9. He can speak and often seems kind and gentle. But like any lion, he can be powerful and dangerous, which proves to be pretty useful in his battles against the witch!
The Witch:
The White Witch, Jadis, can turn anyone to stone and her palace is decorated by statues of animals and people who have been touched by her wand. A bunch of evil magic creatures (from talking wolves to black-bearded dwarves10) help her out with her dirty work.

Narnia Nuts!

●The makers asked for permission to bring in 12 reindeer11 to New Zealand to pull the Ice Queen's sled12. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry refused. However, eight wolves were allowed in for filming.
●The amazing creature and special effects were created by the same team who made The Lord of the Rings trilogy13!
●Tilda Swinton (White Witch) hadn't read the book prior to14 filming.
●Co-producer Douglas Gresham is the stepson of C.S. Lewis, author of the novel upon which the film is based.
●The word “Aslan” means “lion” in Turkish.

 

Scene Stealer

●Look out for Aslan walking through a crowd of grotesque15 creatures to where the witch awaits... Big T challenges you to watch this without shouting “Noooooo!” at the screen!
●The big battle sequence16 will blow you away17! Peter and 5,000 creatures of all kinds battle it out18 with the witch and her 15,000—strong army of mythical19 creatures. Wicked!
●Beware! She's pure evil so every scene with the White Witch in her sledge will give you an icy chill of fear!

   Susan (Anna Popplewell)
   Peter (Will Moseley)
   Edmund (Skandar Keynes)

 

Q: So tell us about walking through the wardrobe...
Georgie: It was cool! On the other side was a huge red runway20. I pretended I was model, ha-ha!
Will: The whole thing was magical. The set, the people...everything!

 

Q: What were the other movie characters like?
Anna: They were brilliant! I loved the Beaver21 family because they had such a funny lines to say!
Will: The White Witch was quite scary, but totally memorizing.

 

Q: Can you tell us any set secrets?
Skandar: The unicorns22 we had to ride were actually white horses with silvery horns stuck on their foreheads. Will's horse was always hitting me with his, ha-ha!

 

Q: It must have been such an adventure filming Narnia!
Skanda: It was, on and off set. We played quite a few jokes on each other as well!
Georgie: Will once stole Skandar's bottles of cola from the fridge...
Will: ... And I made Skandar eat a prop23 that was made out of sugar glass. It didn't taste of sugar though!
Georgie: I loved the posh24 tea set that I used in Mr Beaver's home. I felt like the Queen!

 

Q: Where would your own magical wardrobe lead?
Georgie: Into a world where everything was pink!
Will: Probably a place like Narnia.
Skandar: A world where there was endless food and you never, ever put on weight!
Anna: Snow would definitely feature, chocolate growing on trees and lots of shops! 



剧情介绍
二战期间,四个伦敦孩子——彼得、苏珊、爱德蒙和露西——被送到寇克教授的乡间大宅避难。寇克性格古怪,孩子们在宅子里过得索然无味。一天,露西提议大家玩捉迷藏。哪想到这场游戏把他们带进了一场惊险刺激的大历险!
露西走进一个满是灰尘的旧衣橱,还以为自己发现了一个绝佳的藏身之处。她哪里知道它通往一个冰雪覆盖的神奇国度,名叫"纳尼亚"。那里动物会说话,充满智慧和仁爱的狮子亚斯蓝统领一切。邪恶的女巫施咒语让纳尼亚王国寒冬永驻,终年冰天雪地。露西四兄妹还没来得及了解这一切,就已投身于破除女巫咒语、解救这个神奇国度的宏大战斗中去了。
 

剧中人物

苏珊:
两个女孩中的姐姐。她可不容兄弟俩胡闹。
爱德蒙:
爱德蒙是个点子大王。他在纳尼亚王国遇到的第一个人就是女巫!
露西:
露西在四兄妹中年龄最小,是第一个闯入纳尼亚王国的人。
彼得:
彼得是皮文斯家的长子,勇敢而富有判断力。
吐纳思先生:
吐纳思先生是个人羊,长着山羊的腿和角,又有人的身体。
狮子:
圣狮亚斯蓝是纳尼亚王国最公正的统治者,深受人们爱戴。他能说人语,平常看上去温文尔雅。但像任何狮子一样,他也会变得凶猛而危险,这在对付女巫中证明极其有用。
女巫:
白女巫贾迪丝能将任何人变成石头,她的宫殿里布满了被她的魔杖碰过后变成石雕的动物和人。一伙邪魔妖怪(从会说话的狼到黑胡子矮人)助纣为虐,帮她干着卑鄙的勾当。


幕后花絮

●制片方请求获准引进12头驯鹿到新西兰去拉冰雪王后的雪橇。农林部未予批准,然而却准许他们引进8匹狼前去拍摄。
●惊心眩目的动物形象和特技效果由制作《魔戒三部曲》的原班人马倾力打造。
●蒂尔达·斯温顿(饰白女巫)在影片开拍前还没有看过原著。
●合作制片人道格拉斯·格雷斯姆是剧本同名小说的作者C.S.刘易斯的继子。
●“亚斯蓝”一词在土耳其语中意为“狮子”。

精彩一瞥

●留心那一幕:亚斯蓝穿过一群奇形怪状的妖兽走向女巫迎战的地方……银幕上大大的T字会让你在观看时情不自禁发出“不会吧!”的感叹!
●气势恢宏的战斗场面会把你给吓跑! 彼得率领的5000只各种各样的妖兽,同女巫带领的15,000只奇幻生物大军一决雌雄。真是让人叹为观止!
●小心!白女巫邪气十足,她坐在雪橇上的每个场面都会让你毛骨悚然。
