Netflix: We finally have news on this blockbuster with a budget of over $200 million!

It’s one of Netflix’s most expensive movies of all time, and we’ll have to wait a while to find out. With a budget of over $200 million, this project has gone through many twists and turns since the platform acquired the rights in 2018.

The long-awaited expensive Netflix project!

Netflix plans to give the novel series another chance The Chronicles of Narnia After the mixed success of the film trilogy written by CS Lewis, produced by Andrew Adamson and Michael Apted between 2005 and 2010.

And it is Greta Gerwig, who, after signing on to the colossal success of Barbie in cinema, tackles this other world, also on a grand scale. Its inclusion was announced in July 2023, and since then we have been waiting for news on the story, casting and especially the start of production on The Chronicles of Narnia.

If the project is taking so long to get off the ground, it’s because the director has entered into heated talks with Netflix for a theatrical release of the film in partnership with Imax. We don’t know much more about this exchange than was reported by Bloomberg at the time, but today we have another, more or less good, piece of news.

Greta Gerwig’s version of The Chronicles of Narnia finally has a production start date!

Producer Amy Pascal, who has already collaborated with the director on the adaptation of Dr. March’s Daughters, revealed. term That The Chronicles of Narnia will begin production in July 2025, two years after the official announcement!

With this window of more than six months, Netflix, Greta Gerwig and the producers are giving themselves time to discover new faces for Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Susan or even the White Witch and Mr. Tumnus.

If the name is not being released at the moment and we know very little about this remake of The Chronicles of Narnia, Amy Pascal has said that this version of the world of Narnia will be Greta Gerwig. “Very modern and rock ‘n’ roll re-reading”.
