 William Moseley
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime An exciting element of Hollywood adapting a British book series like The Chronicles Of Narnia is the opportunity for young talent of the region to be granted an unprecedented worldwide audience. One such young British performer is William Moseley, who reprises his role as Peter Pevensie in the new adaptation of the second Narnia book in the series, Prince Caspian. William first explained to us about time about how things had changed from working on the first film The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe. “Coming back to Narnia, it was a completely different experience,” Moseley claims, “The first one, really, I auditioned, auditioned, auditioned. Finally, we got out to New Zealand and worked. For this one, [director] Andrew [Stanton] said to me at the beginning that your character is going to be very, very different. He’s not going to be the nice, selfless character he was in the first film.” “So, I thought, well, I’d love to work on that, so in New York, I worked with Sheila Gray, an acting coach out there, and I really got in touch with a lot of the darker, deeper stuff of my character,” he continues, “And also, in myself, so when I could go on, I could really perform and give everything I had to this role. And so, the film’s a lot more physical, obviously, so I worked with a boxing trainer there at Gleason’s Gym, which is this kind of underground gym in Brooklyn. And I worked as hard as I could there. I was really, really pleased with the outcome of the film.” William says that Andrew Stanton is an essential part of what has made Disney’s adaptation of The Chronicles Of Narnia work as films. “Andrew is an excellent director and I think we would all agree he really brings you into Narnia,” he says, “With the music, with the editing, with the shots, and the composition, he really creates a wonderful world and just being able to watch that and see that and see my hard work that’s paid off, it was a great relief, but it was also a really humbling moment for me. I really felt privileged to be part of such a spectacle.” One of the distinctive elements of The Chronicles Of Narnia book series is its very symbolic Christian messages. We asked Moseley what he felt was the kind of message Peter conveys to the audience in Prince Caspian. “I think, as we’ve seen in history, a lot of leaders who’d fallen in their own ego, I think most empires have fallen through their own ego,” he believes, “We got the Roman Empire, the British Empire, I’m not going to talk about the American Empire (nervously laughing), but it happens. I think the most important thing that Peter has to learn is humility as a leader. He has to serve other people and not serve himself.” “I think it’s stuck in his mind that he’s this great, wonderful hero from 1,300 years |
