Greta Gerwig ready to dive The world of Narnia
Between 2005 and 2010, three of CS Lewis’ seven books are part of his saga The Chronicles of Narnia have been adapted for the screen. Now it’s Netflix’s turn to prepare new adaptations stories written by the British author.
From July 2023, Greta Gerwig is officially involved in these adaptations. The one who ran the box Barbie he signed on to write and direct two films Narnia. For the moment we don’t know for sure which novels from this universe he will adapt. But Jason Isaacs may have spilled the beans.
Will the director adapt? The magician’s nephew ?
During a recent interview with The weekJason Isaacs talked about his favorite novels. Specifically, he chose The magician’s nephewwho is a prequel to the titled volume The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, brought to the screen in 2005. And supposedly the actor revealed it Greta Gerwig was preparing the adaptation of this prequel :
When I was little I loved all the Narnia books. When Peter was told he wasn’t coming back, I realized something heartbreaking about mortality. I chose this because Greta Gerwig is making a movie about it and I’m very excited to see it.
According to the British actor Greta Gerwig will therefore adapt The magician’s nephew. If so, we don’t know if the latter will dedicate a film to this story, or the two that she has signed on to direct. So far, Jason Isaacs has also not been announced in the cast of the new feature films Narnia. It is therefore appropriate to take his observations with caution.
Towards a first adaptation for the prequel
However, if Jason Isaacs was right, Greta Gerwig will then know how to adapt for the first time on screen The magician’s nephew. In C.S. Lewis’ novel, this story takes place about 1000 years ago The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She introduces the origins of Narniaand the famous Aslan plays an important role in it. He is accompanied by two children from early 20th century London, Digory and Polly.
We are therefore waiting for official confirmations (or denials) from Netflix on the adaptation of the book The magician’s nephew. News on Greta Gerwig’s two films remains rare for the moment. In particular, we do not know whether Netflix intends to adapt the seven Narnia books, or just some of them.
