Stuff.co.nz has an interview with Guy Williams of Weta Digital, the New Zealand special effects company who contributed creature and visual effects to Prince Caspian. Briefly discussed is the ever-popular Wer-wolf, and the trickiness of really convincing CGI fur effects. It’s not a particularly in-depth interview, but the talking points they do touch on are interesting. Check it out!

Narnia Werewolf Details
NarniaWeb has posted scans and a transcript of a recent Total Film Magazine interview with Howard Berger, special effects guru for the forthcoming Narnia film Prince Caspian. Among the various creatures Berger’s team created is a particularly nasty-looking werewolf (or wer-wolf, as the film calls him).
From the interview:
The digital werewolf was being handled by Weta Digital in New Zealand, but we also had a full suit with mechanical head, pretty messed up and scarred and everything, which was great. Really cool.

Update: I don’t know why I didn’t think of posting this before, but here’s some concept art for the werewolf, courtesy of the Narnia Wiki:
