I saw in the news over here, that the chap playing Prince Caspian - Ben Barnes - walked out on his role in The History Boys play in London. The producers were not too happy:
London's National Theatre is threatening to sue THE HISTORY BOYS star BEN BARNES after he left the West End production of the Tony award-winning play to join the cast of a Disney film. Barnes abandoned his role as sexually manipulative schoolboy DAKIN this week (begs29JAN07) after being offered the title role in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, Disney's GBP50 million ($97.5 million) sequel to 2005's THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. The National Theatre has been forced to fly in JAMIE KING, who has previously played the role of Dakin, from Los Angeles as there was no time to rehearse a new actor for the part. A spokesman for the National Theatre said yesterday (02FEB07), "Ben Barnes has decided to leave The History Boys early, before his contract is finished. It is something we are taking very seriously. He has accepted an offer to be in a children's Disney film." The Broadway production of The History Boys won a record six Tony awards, including Best Play, in 2006.

Though I don't know why they had to fly a replacement in - all plays have understudies, he could have taken over.

I can't wait to see it! Hopefully it will be as good as the first one was.
