Indo-Asian News Service

London, Jan 18 (IANS) Director Andrew Adamson of "The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe" is planning to adapt the "Prince Caspian" novel to film as soon as possible as he fears the child actors will grow too old. 

According to contactmusic.com, Adamson is thrilled that the movie was well received and is keen to use the same actors in the second novel in the series by author C.S. Lewis. 

He says: "The next one we would make would be 'Prince Caspian', because that is the only one with all four children in it. If we don't make it now, we will never be able to because they will be too old. That 'Chronicle' is set one year after this one, so it would allow for the kids to get a bit older. I would be perfectly happy to make all seven!"

London, Jan 18 (IANS) Socialite Paris Hilton and her friends have created secret signals to help each other escape when they are caught talking to guys they can't stand.

Contactmusic.com reports that the secret code was developed to help them escape situations when guys come on too strong. Hilton says: "My friends and I have code words and phrases that we use when we need help. If I say to them, 'Tiffany is crying!' then they know to jump in. That is one we use a lot. And then we run away."

Hilton confesses that she doesn't always get to talk to the most desirable people at the parties she attends. 

She adds: "They're usually older guys, who try to talk to you, or women who look like they have had a lot of plastic surgery. They are to be avoided at all costs."

London, Jan 18 (IANS) Oscar winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins recalls the filming of "The Bounty" vividly because co-star Mel Gibson was going through his bad-boy phase then.

According to contactmusic.com, Hopkins starred as Lt. William Bligh and remembers Gibson engaged in drunken brawls and bad behaviour. He talks about them with humour because he spent his youth doing the same thing.

He says, "I'd mended my ways by those days, I'd got off the sauce and all that. Mel was still in it. He'd get into fights in the bars in Tahiti and Liam Neeson used to go out as his kind of henchman to try to calm him down and get him out of trouble. And Mel would come in with bruises sometimes. 

"'Aw, Tony' he'd say, 'Jesus Christ, I'm really hung over.' In those days he had his troubles, as we all do. But I think it's wonderful to have gone through all that."
