Walden Media – one of the two film companies which made the first Narnia movie – is looking at building a state-of-the-art film studio in Auckland, according to an Internet site for film news. During a behind-the-scenes video shoot by Television New Zealand for the new film, Bridge to Terabithia, actors and crew mentioned the undisclosed Auckland studio might be used for the Prince Caspian sequel from Disney and Walden Media. "We're in that exploratory stage of conversation. . .we're talking about sizeable films because we have six more of the Narnia films plus many others," said a Walden executive Cary Granat, according to a Narnia fan website, Narniaweb.com.
