Yup, time to start the count-down

Well, most of "us lions" I mean Narnia fans have been counting since word came that the director for The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (Andrew Adamson-huzzah!) agreed to steer the filming of Prince Caspian. We've been with Walden Media since they frantically started the casting call for Caspian (hello Ben Barnes), we've groaned and sighed as the release date has been pushed further and further back but now there is a time set in stone. Dust off your swords, oil your scabbards, mend your cloaks and check your armor, adventurers! The door home is about to open again.

For Aslan!

For Narnia!
