Greta Gerwig Responds to Oscar Snubs and Says She’s ‘Happy,’ Reveals a ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ Script Was Written Before ‘Barbie’ Started Filming


Greta Gerwig wrote her "Chronicles of Narnia" movie for Netflix before cameras even started rolling on "Barbie."

Once Gerwig’s Oscar season for “Barbie” wraps up, she’ll be spending the majority of her time getting her two “Chronicles of Narnia” movies for Netflix up and running. In her new Time magazine interview, Gerwig revealed that she completed a draft of a “Narnia” movie before cameras even started rolling on “Barbie.” Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos told the publication that Gerwig’s “Narnia” films “won’t be counter to how the audience may have imagined those worlds, but it will be bigger and bolder than they thought.” Gerwig noted she wanted to make “Narnia” films because she was drawn to the “euphorically dreamlike” quality of Lewis’ writing.
