Following Barbie's success, Greta Gerwig's next big project is Netflix's Chronicles of Narnia movies, and her hesitancy is a great sign.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Writer and director Greta Gerwig has said she is terrified to take on Netflix's Chronicles of Narnia reboot, but this is far from bad news. In fact, a healthy dose of fear is an excellent sign for the upcoming book-to-screen adaptations. C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books were released in the 1950s and have continued to be a staple in many modern audiences' childhoods.
The upcoming Chronicles of Narnia movies won't be the first time Lewis' works will be brought to the screen in live-action. In 2005, Disney released The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which was met with approval and acclaim. However, the franchise seemed to slowly lose audience interest, with neither The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian nor The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader living up to their predecessor.
The fact that Gerwig is scared of Narnia proves that she takes her responsibility as a director seriously. It implies a healthy respect for the property and an understanding of how important The Chronicles of Narnia's world and characters are to audiences worldwide.
Greta Gerwig's Previous Movies Are The Template For Chronicles Of Narnia's Success Chronicles of Narnia won't be Gerwig's first time turning a beloved IP into a fresh new film. She directed the 2019 movie version of the 1868 classic novel Little Women. The film was a critical and box office hit, providing a fresh but respectful take on Louisa May Alcott's story. Then, there is the Barbie movie, which grossed $1.
