Greta Gerwig's Next Project Is Narnia Business!

Saoirse Ronan for the White Witch or we riot.

Timmy Chalamet as Mr. Tumnus? Margot Robbie as the Lady of the Green Kirtle? BOB ODENKIRK AS PUDDLEGLUM? Dream big, Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve. Greta Gerwig is making Narnia movies for Netflix, and fancasting is the only thing that can save us from the discourse.

OK, so, what do we know?

Pros: Greta Gerwig!

Cons: Netflix, the discourse, the film industry in general, the last attempt to adapt these movies was like three months ago, etc.

All I can say is thank Aslan that Twitter will be six feet under by the time these movies drop because a lot of the criticism around these books is already deep cringe from before the dawn of time. Believe me, I sympathize with anyone who gets a bad taste in their mouth around Christian fiction. But to hear some people talk, you’d think the Chronicles of Narnia are on the level as a Chick Tract, and C.S. Lewis’ wardrobe was little more imaginative than Billy Sunday’s sawdust trail.
