The Lion, Lady Bird, and the Streaming Service
That’s all we know about the Chronicles of Narnia adaptation Greta Gerwig’s been writing since before setting foot on a Barbie set.
In November 2023, Scott Stuber, the then–film chief of Netflix, told Variety that, while The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the “preeminent” book, Gerwig was working on how to “break the whole arc of all of [the series].” Gerwig told Time that she was drawn to the “paradox of the worlds that Lewis created,” through the combination of mythologies like Greek fauns, Father Christmas, and the British Empire. In terms of adaptation, Stuber confirmed to Variety in his November interview that Gerwig’s version is “rooted in faith,” Previous examples of Gerwig’s work being informed by Christianity include Lady Bird eating non-blessed communion wafers, Lady Bird getting suspended for sassing a pro-life activist, and Barbie killing God.
