The Pevensies are back, guys!

Yup, Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley) come back again to the world of Narnia. Although they’re still teenagers in the real world, but  the world of Narnia has gone around for about 1300 years. And ofcourse, so many things changed in Narnia since their first journey.

This sequel announce us a new – ehm – charming guy, Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes). Ewh, this will be a hard thing to choose one of these three cute guys! =) Fortunately, the prince isn’t a wicked character. He asks for help to the Pevensies to get his throne back to his hands, as The King of Caspian.

The King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto), Prince Caspian’s uncle, is apparently the one who isolated the prince and stole his throne, and planned to give the throne to his newly-born-son, later. King Miraz assisted by the wicked soldiers, The Telmarines.

What will happen to The Pevensies? Will Prince Caspian get his throne back successfully? And how Narnia looks like after the 1300 years?
