Barbie director Greta Gerwig is reportedly “bummed” over the streaming first launch plan for the Chronicles of Narnia reboot, vouching for a theatrical launch as a substitute, as per Matthew Belloni’s What I am Listening to publication. Though the acclaimed director voiced her considerations to Netflix, the streaming big refused to alter their launch technique.
The Chronicles of Narnia primarily based on C. S. Lewis’ iconic novels originated with 1950’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and spanned six sequels. The unique collection has had a number of small-screen diversifications. In 2005, the franchise earned its first big-screen adaptation which was adopted by 2008’s Prince Caspian and 2010’s The Voyage of the Daybreak Tredder which marked the top of the franchise.
In an interview with Bleeding Cool, William Moseley, who portrayed Peter Pevensie in all three The Chronicles of Narnia function movies shared his disappointment over the place the franchise was headed. After stating that Netflix’s function movie directed by Gerwig will probably be “rebranding and rebooting” the franchise, the actor admitted he’s unhappy to not be a part of it anymore.
“I’m not a part of that world anymore, which typically makes me unhappy as a result of I really like the world of Narnia and turning into part of it,” he stated. Nevertheless, he’d like to have the chance to go to the movie units to witness what they’re constructing. In one other interview with Display screen Rant, the actor confessed that if requested, he’d be part of the movie in a heartbeat.
However sadly, his time with the franchise is finished. “And that is the way in which it’s. If I would ever get requested that, nice, however I do not assume it is there,” he added. In July 2023, it was confirmed that Gerwig would write and direct Netflix’s highly-anticipated Chronicles of Narnia reboot.
Talking to Collider, the Little Ladies director responded to being beforehand quoted as “scared” about taking over the reigns of the fantasy-adventure franchise. “Once I’m scared, it is all the time a great signal,” she stated. “It is extraordinary. And so we’ll see, I do not know,” she added.
The untitled Chronicles of Narnia reboot is predicted to reach on the streaming platform in 2025.
