narnia has so much history and potential for side stories that we never talk about. like jadis and her sister?? ALL of charn tbh.
Mrs. Lefay!! she is the reason anyone got to narnia. every single pool in the wood between the worlds. there’s just so much to discuss and this is only halfway through the magician’s nephew
me too, but i’m going to be optimistic until i’m given a reason not to be. no matter what happens we’re always going to have the original movies and the books. and we’re going to get the magician’s nephew, the horse and his boy, the silver chair, and the last battle which we wouldn’t have otherwise.
they could completely screw it up and do it horribly, but it isn’t going to take away my love for the series. like i am not a fan of the star wars sequels and i honestly can’t even tell you what jkr is doing with harry potter, but that doesn’t stop me from loving the original stuff. i really hope it’ll be good and i’ll love it, but if it’s not, it’s not. i’m very excited for the new content and i’m hyped, but i’m not putting too much pressure on me to love it or for it to live up to my expectations
You are officially the first to hear about our new deal with Netflix. Stay tuned for further updates. They will be posted here first.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NETFLIX TO DEVELOP SERIES AND FILMS BASED ON C.S. LEWIS’ BELOVED THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA
Hollywood, Calif. – October 3, 2018 – Netflix will develop new series and film projects based on C.S. Lewis’ beloved The Chronicles of Narnia series. Under the terms of a multi-year deal between Netflix and The C.S. Lewis Company, Netflix will develop classic stories from across the Narnia universe into series and films for its members worldwide. All series and films produced through the deal will be Netflix productions, with Mark Gordon of Entertainment One (eOne) alongside Douglas Gresham and Vincent Sieber serving as executive producers for series and as producers for features. In total the Narnia books have sold more than 100 million copies and been translated in more than 47 languages worldwide. The deal marks the first time that rights to the entire seven books of the Narnia universe have been held by the same company.
“C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia stories have resonated with generations of readers around the world,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix. “Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”
“It is wonderful to know that folks from all over are looking forward to seeing more of Narnia, and that the advances in production and distribution technology have made it possible for us to make Narnian adventures come to life all over the world,” said Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis. “Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them towards this goal.”
“Narnia is one of those rare properties that spans multiple generations and geographies,” said Mark Gordon, eOne’s President and Chief Content Officer, Film & Television. “eOne and I are excited to be collaborating with The C.S. Lewis Company and Netflix who have the capacity to translate the Narnia universe into both stellar feature-length and episodic programming. We cannot wait to get started on the multiple productions we hope to undertake.”
what are y’all’s thoughts?! personally i’m terrified and excited about the new content. also a little sad because lww, pc, and vdt are so iconic to me and i just love the cast, so it’s gonna be so strange with new people and movies
i really hope they start with the magician’s nephew bc if they start with lww, we’ll just be comparing them and i feel like we’d be more fair starting with something we don’t have
