Liam Neeson - Prince Caspian Stars Come Out For Uks Biggest Premiere

Ten thousand fantasy fans travelled to London's O2 Arena for the premiere of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, billed as the UK's biggest ever.

The sequel was shown on a screen measuring 91ft by 38ft, the largest ever built in Europe, while the pedestrian entrance to the Greenwich arena was given a fantasy makeover as Telmarine soldiers fought on the green carpet while horseback riders performed for the crowds.

And alongside young fans dressed as lions, witches and other characters from the world created by CS Lewis were the film's stars, including Liam Neeson, Anna Popplewell, William Mosley and Ben Barnes, who plays the title actor.

The 26-year-old, who also featured in Stardust, said he was "babbling like an idiot" due to the excitement and scale of the premiere.

"This is the pinnacle, it's the climax," he explained. "Despite all the people behind me I can guarantee I'm the most excited person here."

He added: "I still find it difficult to watch myself because it's difficult to suspend your disbelief enough to see a prince and not yourself but hopefully everyone else will see Prince Caspian and I think it's a really exciting, engaging film."

Andrew Adamson, the director of the first two films in the Narnia franchise, remarked: "People say not to work with children but I highly recommend it.

"They energise you, on those days on set when you're tired, they are not. They give you the energy back."

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is released on June 26th.

Moody hues at Playboy Jazz Festival

30th anniversary fest set for this weekend





If jazz had a Mount Rushmore, James Moody's face would be right up there with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
Maybe the next best thing -- aside from his live performance Saturday at the Playboy Jazz Festival -- is YouTube, where you can catch the great saxophonist as a member of Dizzy's first big band, back in the 1940s.
"If I'd have known what it was, I probably would have fainted with all that stuff," Moody likes to say of his stint with the source of the 20th century's greatest musical revolution.
" 'Cause when I joined the band, (Thelonious) Monk was the piano player and Klook was the drummer -- Kenny Clarke -- and Bags (Milt Jackson) was there, too." Not to mention such original gangsters as Miles Davis, Ray Brown and John Lewis.
Moody, 83, speaks today as he did when he was first recorded 60 years ago on the big band's "Emanon." This was not a health food store but a screaming blues track with breathtaking sarcastic breaks from Gillespie's horn, an inexorable groove from Ray Brown, the bassist, and a climactic passage reserved for Moody after Dizzy finishes.
Patrons of the 30th anniversary Playboy Jazz Festival will feel Moody's undiminished power when he appears with Roy Hargrove at the Hollywood Bowl. They can compare his live performance with the "Emanon" track, 99 cents on iTunes. The witty, emblematic opening; the bottomless resources; the unflagging swing; and the discreetly blasting climax -- his whole thing is there, and it has never run down.
On Saturday, Moody might favor MC Bill Cosby, his longtime friend, with a performance of the immortal "Moody's Mood for Love." He enthralled a Bowl audience last year when he and Roberta Gambarini combined the classic hit number with a deft comic routine.
Does he enjoy doing such things?
"Well, it depends," he said. "I enjoy playing music. I like to play music first, I mean that's what it is.
"I don't even like the comedy bit thing put in there because I'm really a musician. That's what I wanna do."
Does he feel that the long-popular number has overshadowed his other work?
"Well, I did that in 1949 in Stockholm, Sweden. That is when I did that." He would say no more on the topic.
So what would he and Hargrove play on Saturday?
"We'll play music," said the great James Moody, who is really a musician.

They recorded a demo in early 1993 which caught the attending of Black Mark Productions, world Health Organization signed the band shortly after. Their debut, Greater Art, was released in 1994, followed quickly by Headstones the following year. The band began to tour of duty through Europe, losing guitarist Eriksson in the summer of 1996. They recorded a third album in 1997, A Crimson Cosmos, which gained them much attention in the metal resistance. They chartered a new guitar player, Ulrik Lindblom, and toured relentlessly until 1999, when they recorded Forever Autumn. This album was more than in a progressive rock'n'roll vein than their previous material, hiring full-time keyboardist Christian Saarinen to help oneself round out their sound. Unfortunately, the lack of attention from their mark as considerably as personal problems snag the band by the time 2001 involute around. In the winter of 2001, Brennare told his fans from Lake of Tears's official site that he plotted on fulfilling the last album in the band's sign on, and he had hoped that the band would make up one's mind to help him cause i last album.
