Ireland being considered for Narnia
Ireland is in competition with New Zealand as the location for the filming of 'Prince Caspian', the next film in 'The Chronicles of Narnia' series.

"Disney scouts are here checking out locations in several counties for Prince Caspian," according to the Irish Independent.

An industry source said: "The location scouts have been here for two weeks. They have also been looking at sites in Britain."

'Prince Caspian' is the sequel to Christmas blockbuster 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', which has already grossed €600m worldwide since its December release.

More than €200m was spent on the production of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' in New Zealand.
