Will says: It was an amazing experience we had so much fun on set. We all got on so well. And the sets and locations were so authentically Narnia as well. Australia is amazing, we got to live there for six months!
Georgie: I always like having a different experience with every film. And this can come from the people I work with or the places I go but the best thing about Narnia is that it is like a huge family on set. -

Will says: I was at home actually. And my Mum picked up the phone to find out. She handed it to me and told me it was the director and pretended it was bad news! And then I found out it was great news and I was really happy!
Georgie: I was eating breakfast getting ready for school. This was seven years ago! And the phone rang and it was the director, the producer and the casting director, all on speaker phone together and they told me I had the part. I ran around the house screaming for ten minutes but I still had to go to school! -

Georgie and Will,
Hello! Wow i'm such a fan! Anyway, my question.
If you could choose between living here on Earth or in Narnia for the rest of your lives, where would it be?
Thank you so much and I cant wait to see the film!

Georgie says: The DVD will come out sooner depending on how many people go to see the film. I think.
The three films are all really different so it's hard to compare them but I'm really excited to see what the fans think. -

Will says: I think the books are so great for most children Narnia is one of those places they'd really like to escape to. Because there loads of different creatures and loads of cool places within Narnia.
Georgie: I was in my Christmas play Baboushka and I was the only young one to have a main part and that made me want to be an actress. So, when the opportunity for Narnia came around I realised how much I wanted to be in it. -

SapphireRoboGirl asks:
Hiya Will and Georgie!!! I'm a super big fan of Narnia. I've read all of the books and I have also watched all of the films. I have posters in my bedroom
and I wanted to ask you a question. What is it like to play a big part in a film and to revise for all of your schoolwork at the same time. I would imagine,
that it is pretty hard work!!!

Georgie says: We both go to regular schools and when we are filming we have about three hours of tutoring on set everyday. It's difficult when you are doing publicity to keep up but I have my GCSEs coming up so I am working really hard.
Will says: I find it really hard. Just because it can be difficult forgetting about your character for a while whilst you have to work, then having to go back to it. But the tutors on set are really helpful. -

Georgie: By the way I have been loving the nicknames on the boards. If I had one I would want to be OwlfaceMattressNumberhead. My favourite parts of the film are the ones on the boat, because it's such a cool set!
Will: I would have to agree with Georgie the boat is awesome! I also loved being on set with the Minotaurs they were massive. -

Georgie: I completely agree with you WhiteStripySilkworm! Mr Tumnas seems to be one of the nicest people ever and I'm sure tea and crumpets by his fireside would be absolutely lovely.
