Loading ...NarniaFans.com has received word that the lampposts that were used in the filming of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe have been bought and are now in use in Los Angeles, CA. NarniaFans found an article from ‘Blog Down Town‘ on the subject:
Ever since the first phases of [L.A. Live's Ritz Carlton tower] complex opened, the spaces around the hotel have been narrow corridors branching off of Nokia Plaza. With the fencing removed, though, the triangle between Starbucks, Nokia Theatre and the hotel suddenly becomes a second space on the scale of the plaza area.
The two look to have very different personalities. Where Nokia Plaza is defined by massive LED screens and noise, this second space is far more tranquil. The glass and plantings of the hotel soften the metal of the other two buildings, and a set of ornate street lamps stand in sharp contrast to the modern stylings of the surrounding architecture.
The lamps may even look familiar. They came from the set of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” a film franchise produced by the Phillip Anschutz-owned Walden Media. Anschutz, of course, is also the “A” in AEG.
So, next time you’re in L.A. remember to take a little trip to Narnia.
