Anna Popplewell, who stars as Susan in the blockbuster Chronicles of Narnia movies, will be attending both days of the Spring Memorabilia Show at Birmingham’s NEC.
Anna, played the second eldest of the Pevensie children, in the movie franchise of the popular book series Narnia by CS Lewis. Susan first journeys to the magical land of Narnia in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, where her common sense and skill at archery play a major role in defeating the White Witch.
The film’s 2008 sequel, ‘Prince Caspian’, sees Susan and her siblings return to a very different world, where the talking animals have been driven into hiding and Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the Telmarine throne, has been usurped by his evil uncle.

My friend Shane Rangi is the subject of a great piece in the New Zealand Herald. I finally had the chance to meet him in person on the set of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. He shared Bundaberg Ginger Beer with me, prior to my proposal, and we had a great time hanging out on the set. He was also present for the proposal, which made it even more special to me. It’s a memory that we both share. I’ll write more about that in future reports about my visit to the set.
Shane Rangi, who are you?

Just an FYI about the entirety of the interview, Barnes recently starred in an adaptation of Dorian Gray, which is an old novel with adult subject matter. The interview got interesting though, for Narnia fans when the subject turned to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I’ve censored the interview a bit to keep it family friendly, but if you want to, you can read the whole article at the source.

Karine twittered us about Imogen Heap’s new album, which is releasing August 24th or 25th depending on what part of the world you live in, called Ellipse. It includes a song called 2-1, which she wrote for Prince Caspian, but was decidedly too dark for the soundtrack, according to the music producers on the film. She decided, rather than letting good music go, to include it in her new album, which she finished a few months ago. If you would like to hear the song, or even the full album, we currently have the official music player here. The song is track #8, and it is 4 minutes and 42 seconds in length.
