Yea good luck with that

I am always more underwhelmed by her movies than the critics.

They look great, but for me they've all had annoying structural issues that took away from the experience.

25 years of Narnia…..

movielord101.bsky.social•5 days ago

Except there’s only 7 books. What’s she planning…?

rannulbh.bsky.social•5 days ago

At least 2 of the book will be split into 3 movies. They aren't going to do the first 2 or the last one.

movielord101.bsky.social•5 days ago

But that’s missing out on so much context!

rannulbh.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is just a guess based mostly on what they did to The Hobbit, Hunger Games, Twilight, and HP.

movielord101.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wait so she ISN’T skipping any of the books? Don’t lie to me like that!

Honestly, I think Magician’s Nephew and TLTWATW will be the first 2 movies.

LMFAO @netflix.com doesn't keep anything around long enough to 8 movies. Try 2 and then Netflix releases how much they love Greta and how proud they are of those 2 movies... out of 8 😂😂

You forgot all the premium content like too hot to handle or love is blind.

fladmus.bsky.social•4 days ago

If it gets more than two, I'm buying everyone one bsky ice cream!

It's wild
Percy Jackson is replacing Marvel and Star Wars as Disney's Top IP, Rings of Power is slowly finding its footing, production of the Harry Potter series is going well and Netflix is planning to film all the Narnia books with Greta Gerwig

Fantasy is so back in the 20s and I love it

tn7117.bsky.social•5 days ago

No way this gets past 2 or 3 movies

Narnia was done so well I don't think it needs a reboot. It just needs continuity.

angelswalknforests.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why?

themorningstar666.bsky.social•5 days ago

What a waste of talent.

hillstarone.bsky.social•5 days ago

Greta Gerwigs Rebooting Narnia?! Stellar

sourdballz.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just, why? 😂

moviesandheists.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hey um...

What does "he thinks" mean?
Does he not know?
If he doesn't know, is this actually news?

bluelane.bsky.social•5 days ago

I get it. That’s about how far I made it trying to read the books.

totamilegend.bsky.social•5 days ago

wasted potential, nobody cares about Narnia that much

bozo5.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well, me and everyone I know cares about Narnia. Looking forward…!

Speaking of a franchise having too many films… The Barbatachtian: Valentines Day Horror Marathon 2025!

But there's only seven books and they are all so slim you can literally fit them all into one volume...

beatsinyourhead.bsky.social•5 days ago

I was about to say didn't we just finish a film series of this? Then I checked and there were three, the last of which is fifteen years old. Still, I don't really see why it needs another go...

losisd3ad.bsky.social•5 days ago

i really don't want gerwig stuck in a franchise for a decade, I hope she's not committed to the full picture

joelmole42.bsky.social•5 days ago

8? Aren't there seven books? Oh don't tell me they're going to split The Last Battle into two! That book ain't long enough for that!

fathispanicotaku.bsky.social•4 days ago

They’re gonna make the dumb mistake of splitting it just like they did with The Hobbit, aren’t they? I guess. 😅

joelmole42.bsky.social•4 days ago

More like that weird phase YA novel adaptations went through where they split the last part into two. Harry Potter was the only one that got away with it during that era.

d3vcam1a.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hahahahaha!!!! Don't bet on all of 'em getting made.

So Gerwig is stuck in an IP box for a decade? I mean good for her bank account and maybe these will be awesome, but that is a huge bummer as far as opportunity cost.

jonwesleyhuff.bsky.social•5 days ago

She’s only contracted for two so far I believe

scoops-slinger.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe it'll be like the harry potter franchise where there are different directors across the franchise giving each section of the story a unique feel

jonwesleyhuff.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was kind of always my assumption. That Gerwig would start things off and then others would take over.

vivekr.bsky.social•5 days ago

Phew

mrroyboto.bsky.social•5 days ago

Please be serious. No one wants this. Most of all Greta

domonicriley.bsky.social•4 days ago

What Gelfond actually said was "I think there are like eight movies planned..."

Which might just mean he doesn't know how many Narnia books there are, and guessed at eight.

craighollis.bsky.social•5 days ago

Aslan will be a lioness named Aslania.

jezzerat.bsky.social•5 days ago

You don't have to put "no need to follow back" in your bio if you post dumb shit like this.

angelswalknforests.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thanks for the laugh🤣🤣
