Greta Gerwig with her head bowed in front of Disney's Narnia cast
Summary Greta Gerwig's The Chronicles of Narnia adaptation faces a difficult challenge due to the source material. Following the record-breaking success of Gerwig's Barbie, she is attached to write and direct at least two of Netflix's upcoming films based on the beloved book series by C.S. Lewis. While this is the first time Netflix has adapted the Narnia books, the series has been adapted numerous times in the past, including three films made by Disney.
12 Greta Gerwig's Narnia Reboot Faces An Adaptation Problem Thanks To The Books' Length It Is A Problem That Harry Potter And A Song Of Ice And Fire Do Not Have A major challenge that Gerwig and Netflix face is that most of The Chronicles of Narnia books are relatively short.
If each book is individually adapted, certain elements will need to be expanded on and further fleshed out in order to make each film feel fully developed. If certain books are adapted together into a single film, specific characters or storylines may be condensed. This could work, but also runs the risk of rushing through critical character development and plot points, and may make it seem like some of the Pevensie children are needlessly sidelined when their time in Narnia comes to an end.
