A screenplay is not yet written, but production is scheduled to begin this year with an eye toward a Christmas 2007 release.
"Prince Caspian" finds the four Pevensie siblings pulled back into the land of Narnia, where 400 years have passed since they left. The children are again enlisted to join the colorful creatures of Narnia, who have been driven into the wild, unfriendly parts of the land. The Pevensies must struggle to overthrow a usurping king named Miraz and restore the rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian.
"Prince Caspian," published in 1951, is the second book in the seven-book series written by C.S. Lewis.
Adamson also is on board DreamWorks' Shrek 3, the computer-animated franchise on which he got his start as a feature film director. Adamson will executive produce Shrek 3, and he has been involved with developing the story and will supervise voice talent recording sessions, while Chris Miller and Raman Hui will co-direct.
