‘Barbie’ director Greta Gerwig embarks on 2 ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ films

Talented Oscar-nominated director Greta Gerwig is ready to conquer new frontiers in her film career. Not only has she garnered some media attention over the past few months, but she’s also set to release her own movie ‘Barbie’ in the coming weeks. This highly anticipated film promises to be a smash hit and has reinvigorated an iconic figure in popular culture. Thanks to her vision and her success with “Barbie”, Greta Gerwig has signed with Netflix to direct an exciting new fantasy saga: the reboot of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’.

Four years ago, Netflix announced that it had acquired the rights to CS Lewis’ acclaimed novels and plans to adapt them as a series. However, the plans took an unexpected turn. According to the New Yorker, Greta Gerwig will direct and write at least two films of this iconic franchise.

While no official announcement has been made yet, this news comes as no surprise to the film industry. For months, there was speculation that Gerwig could join the chronicles of narnia remake. Considering how surprising his approach to “Barbie” was, it’s very likely that Gerwig will do something similar with the story of Pevensie, captivating audiences once again.

Gerwig’s directing career thus far has included such films as ‘Lady Bird’, ‘Little Women’ and, soon, ‘Barbie’. Although all these films were produced by well-known studios in the industry, “Barbie” is the first project in which Gerwig is trying to achieve global success. The fact that Warner Bros. is so confident in the film that they release it in the middle of summer is a clear example of this.

“Barbie” would be a big leap in her film career

Thanks to her experience with “Barbie”, it seems that Gerwig is ready to take a major step in her career. Her intention is to leave behind the independent dramas that have brought her recognition among critics and embrace projects that establish her in front of a large audience. In this sense, “The Chronicles of Narniaseems to be the right project for Greta Gerwig. However, it should be noted that this is not a conventional cinematic outing.

Her ambition is not simply to be an outstanding director, but to become a creative force at major studios,” her rep told The New Yorker.

In 2005, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ first hit the big screen from director Andrew Adamson. The film captivated millions of moviegoers worldwide, grossing more than $745 million and receiving prestigious award nominations for technical excellence.

However, its sequel, ‘Prince Caspian’ lost most of its audience three years later. Finally, in 2010, “The voyage of the sailing ship” marked the end of the film saga after disappointing both critics and spectators.

Plans to continue the saga fell through when the deal between Walden Media (the studio behind the films) and the CS Lewis rights holders ended. Considering Netflix’s successful track record with similar projects and the creative talents of Greta Gerwig, it’s hard not to be thrilled that ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ is once again in good hands. With her unique vision and ability to revive iconic characters, Gerwig could bring a new sheen to this epic story and take it to new heights.
