Greta Gerwig is alleged to have a rock ‘n’ roll strategy to the Narnia film she’s engaged on for Netflix, which could be The Magician’s Nephew
Again in July of 2023, it was introduced that Barbie director Greta Gerwig had been employed to put in writing and direct no less than two Chronicles of Narnia movies for the Netflix streaming service. We haven’t heard any particulars on this venture, we don’t even know for certain which e book(s) Gerwig has chosen to deliver to the display screen, however throughout an interview with Deadline, producer Amy Pascal stated (with because of Whole Movie for the transcription) that Gerwig has a “very new take on Narnia. It’s all about rock ‘n’ roll.” In the meantime, actor Jason Isaacs is spreading the rumor that the primary Narnia e book that Gerwig is adapting is the prequel The Magician’s Nephew!
Whereas itemizing his favourite books, Isaacs advised The Week, “I cherished all of the Narnia books as a child. When Peter was advised he wouldn’t be coming again, I understood one thing devastating about mortality. I picked this one as a result of Greta Gerwig is about to make a movie of it, which I can’t wait to see.“
Netflix acquired the rights to C.S. Lewis’ sequence of Narnia novels means again in 2018. There are seven novels within the sequence: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia, The Voyage of the Daybreak Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician’s Nephew, and The Final Battle. The primary 4 books have obtained a number of tv variations over the many years since they had been revealed within the Fifties. Walden Media made two large display screen variations with Disney. The primary, Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, was an unlimited hit in 2005, grossing over $745 million worldwide, however the 2008 sequel Prince Caspian, made considerably much less, $419 million. So Walden Media needed to go to Fox to get a 3rd film made, 2010’s The Voyage of the Daybreak Treader. That one made about as a lot as Prince Caspian.
Like Jason Isaacs, I cherished the Narnia books after I was a child. I haven’t learn them since I used to be a child, although. I actually ought to revisit them.
If Gerwig is making The Magician’s Nephew, that is the story she’ll be bringing to life: Narnia… a land frozen in everlasting winter… a rustic ready to be let out. On a daring quest to avoid wasting a life, two pals are hurled into one other world, the place an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. However then the lion Aslan’s track weaves itself into the material of a brand new land, a land that will probably be often called Narnia. And in Narnia, all issues are potential.
