Prince Caspian Game Gets Exclusive Movie Scenes
Disney Interactive Studios has announced that the video game of the film for the book The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian will contain two exclusive scenes that don't appear in the theatrical release of the film. The live action shots, filmed on location in Prague during the movie shoot, connect the first and second movies together by having Dr. Cornelius explaining to Caspian how Narnia fell to the Telmarines hundreds of years ago. The exclusive clips are two of the sixteen live-action clips appearing in the game."The special filmed content that is exclusive to the video game provides insight into Narnia and the events around the 'Prince Caspian' story like nothing else," said Andrew Adamson. "With movie fans' enthusiasm for unique experiences in video games as well, these scenes are ideal to complement the 'Prince Caspian' game's action."
It almost sounds as if they included the clips in the game that were then cut from the film, but we'll run with the whole 'special filmed content' bit. As long as they maintain the quality of the last title we'll be fine either way. More » -
