Greta Gerwig takes bold approach in adapting The Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix, opting for whole saga narrative
Netflix’s film chief, Scott Stuber, has revealed surprising details about Greta Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia. Contrary to the traditional one-movie-per-book approach, Gerwig aims to incorporate the entire arc of C.S. Lewis’s beloved series into her film. One would imagine that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe would be considered an obvious choice, but Gerwig and producer Amy Pascal are exploring a narrative form that spans the entirety of the Narnia saga. The Chronicles of Narnia follows the adventures of the Pevensie children in the magical land of Narnia, offering a unique perspective on growth and maturity. Stuber highlights Gerwig’s deep connection to the Christian themes in Lewis’s books as a key factor in her selection for this ambitious project. He also confirms that the project is said to begin filming early next year.
