Interact with the Cast of Narnia During Book Reading at Union Square
On Thursday, November 17th, children, parents and fans will be the first to experience this unprecedented launch and enter the magical "World of Narnia" to see the entire book program, images from the film and interact with the cast. James McAvoy will read from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and other cast members including Tilda Swinton will be on hand for a Q&A with the audience at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers Union Square (33 East 17th Street at Union Square). The event will begin at 7p.
C.S. Lewis' timeless adventure The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe follows the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings -- Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter -- in World War II England who enter the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of 'hide-and-seek' in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch's powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free Narnia from Jadis' icy spell forever.
The film marks the first live-action directorial effort for New Zealander Andrew Adamson (the Oscar®-winning "Shrek," "Shrek 2"), who also co-wrote the screenplay adaptation with Emmy Award-winner Ann Peacock (HBO's "A Lesson Before Dying") and scribes Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. The film is produced by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Mark Johnson and Philip Steuer.
To bring his dazzling vision to the screen, Adamson has secured the talents of Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Donald M. McAlpine, ASC, ACS, Oscar®-nominated production designer Roger Ford, seasoned costume designer Isis Mussenden, film editors Sim Evan-Jones and Jim May and composer Harry Gregson-Williams.
