"Tollers, there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves." - C.S. Lewis
It's finally real! Only took 14 years! Let's rock and roll, NarniaWebbers! 😉
... but they STILL haven't told us which book(s) she's adapting.
"Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed."
(Prince Caspian)
14 long years! I am excited but apprehensive for this. I would think we'll find out more news through the latter half of the year.
Let us go on and take the adventure that shall fall to us
-Queen Susan
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
People are quick to judge but slow to correct themselves
-Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
At least I hope it will be shown in a regular theater. There is an IMAX theater about twenty five or thirty miles from where I live, but I would prefer seeing the film in an old fashioned theater. At least I will check some of the old theaters near where I live to see if they are showing it. I actually do not like having an excessive amount of technology in a Narnia film. It seems like something that C. S. Lewis would not approve of since he was not a fan of an ultra modern Narnia.
What wonderful news! 14 long years and it finally feels like it's actually about to happen again. Interesting I see there's still no confirmation on which story they're doing first though! 🧐

I see what you did there.
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
I suddenly had a flashback to the opening scene in A Knight's Tale
Lost in the woods and weary he looked into the night sky and a voice spoke to him, "As long as the moon shines, I will be with you. The day the moon no longer shines, you will be with Me."
Very cool! Looking forward to riding the pre-movie ride with everyone again!
Sweet! Now I just have to find an IMAX theater. But even if I don't, at least it sounds like they filmed so it would look good both in IMAX and on streaming. I'd really like to see it in theaters though.
For better or worse-for who knows what may unfold from a chrysalis?-hope was left behind.

@courtenay Pretty sure she said she's taking on Magician's Nephew
I can't be the only one who's a bit uneasy about Gerwig's adaptation. The 2000s LWW was a cinematic masterpiece that respected Lewis's work. I'm not sure what Gerwig's going to do. Her work with Little Women took out all the faith elements that made the book so special. However, I look forward to seeing what she'll do.
