The HooK has been talking to young British actor William Moseley, who played Peter in the first of Disney’s Chronicles of Narnia adaptations, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

“We’re going to shoot in January, and that’s going ahead,” Moseley said, elaborating that shooting will continue through the summer. “I haven’t seen a completed script yet,” he added, “they’re keeping it really hush-hush. Whether it’s even finished, I don’t know.”

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is scheduled for release in 2008.

Fox and Universal backed out of co-financing the adaptation because the studios were concerned that the budget was rising too high above the originally projected $135 million. The filmmakers, however, claim that the studios abandoned the project after unsuccessfully trying to get the filmmakers and Microsoft to reduce their cut of any profits the movie would generate.

Microsoft assures fans that the film will be made.
