Producer Amy Pascal has a surprising description of Greta Gerwig's first The Chronicles of Narnia movie. Following the critical and commercial success of Barbie, Gerwig is helming at least two The Chronicles of Narnia movies for Netflix. Pascal is a producer on the first movie and was also a producer on Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Little Women. Jason Isaacs, whose involvement in the project is not yet confirmed, indicated that Greta Gerwig's first Narnia movie will adapt The Magician's Nephew instead of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

While speaking with Deadline, Pascal teased that Gerwig's upcoming movie will be "a very new take on Naria. It's all about rock and roll." Pascal emphasized that she has "never seen anything like [Gerwig]" and reminisced on when "she barged into my office and said Little Women has been done wrong" when "she hadn't even made Lady Bird yet." From that moment, Pascal asserted that she had complete confidence in Gerwig and that "there's nobody like Greta."


Yeah this is going to be Joker 2 bad, isn’t it?

Seems like a real risk. But her arc as a filmmaker is pretty good right now so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being.

So they're taking away the heavily Christian themes aren't they?

She did a Woody Allen film, denounced Woody Allen, then did her own rip-off version of a Woody Allen film.

You be the judge.

Nothing shouts "C.S. Lewis" or WW2 era England like *checks notes* Rock n Roll.

They're already in the process of destroying Tolkien, might as well destroy CS Lewis while they're at it.

Who the hell thought Barbie was a surefire hit before it was released? This board 100% thought it was going to tank hard from the moment it was announced a Barbie movie was being made at all.

This is really unfair. She has made some great films well before Barbie. Lady Bird is terrific as is her take on Little Women. Let’s give her a chance with this material and maybe refrain from calling excellent directors “dumb bitches”?

Absolute slap to the face of CS Lewis.

Well if it's one thing fans love it's taking a 75 year old proven and beloved series and offering a fresh new take on it. I swear these people never learn. Or more likely they know exactly what they are doing. I love the idea of starting with The Magician's Nephew, but if you don't take seriously who Aslan is then you have no business getting close to this series of books.
