The movie has been touted as an epic, sweeping adventure “that invites dreamers of all ages to experience the creation of Narnia.” Greta shared with Netflix how she was a child when she first read the book and fell in love with the world and its characters. She is honored to bring it to life.
She revealed that it’s because of the Narnia books that she “believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure.” The filmmaker added, “I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic.” It’s that awe and wonder that transformed her and stayed with her.
The team is quite excited to bring the vision to life and share the magic of Narnia with a whole new generation. Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt will provide an original score for the much-awaited fantasy film. The 2000s film trilogy released the three movies in 2005, 2008, and 2010.
The first film was The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The second was The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and the third was titled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. All of them were massively loved and accepted by the audience.
