Loading ...Breaking news! NarniaWeb reports that 60-year-old English actor Bill Nighy, best known for playing Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean (2006, 2007) has been cast as the voice of Reepicheep. Nighy revealed this news in a recent interview with David Frost (beginning at 5:26).

Aw man…I love Eddie Izzard! But hopefully Bill Nighy will be good too:). Don’t knock it till you try it, right? But still…I feel the same way about Puddleglum…no one can top Tom Baker (he was Puddleglum in the BBC version [and Dr. Who for a long, long time]).
Did any of you watch the video? It doesn’t sound like Nighy knows very much about the role. “Brigadier or Filed Marshall? … Second in command to “Prince” Caspian”????
BTW, When did David Frost get so old? Makes me feel old myself.
That was a bad move. I have a friend who almost hates Narnia’s guts, but he said the one thing he did like was Reepicheep’s voice. That makes me really mad and sad that they aren’t going to use Eddie Izzard.
Bill Nighy… I’ve been thinking this over— I’m willing to give him a chance…
