Greta Gerwig will soon be taking us through the wardrobe in a new adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia – and producer Amy Pascal has confirmed when the movie will shoot.
Now, exactly what that means isn’t clear just yet, but, with Gerwig expertly putting her own spin on her adaptations of Little Women and Barbie, we can definitely expect something special when the movie arrives on Netflix.
“I don’t know,“Gerwig previously told us of her Narnia movie. “I haven’t even really started wrapping my arms around it. But I’m properly scared of it, which feels like a good place to start. I think when I’m scared, it’s always a good sign. Maybe when I stop being scared, it’ll be like, ‘Okay. Maybe I shouldn’t do that one.’ No, I’m terrified of it. It’s extraordinary. And so we’ll see, I don’t know.”
It has previously been reported thatGerwig will direct at least two Narnia movies for Netflix, too. It’s unclear at the moment which of C.S. Lewis’s books she’ll be adapting – there are seven Narnia novels total, with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe the most famous of the set.
