Greta Gerwig who has directed the much anticipated Barbie, may just write and direct the Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix

Amidst the Anticipation for &#8216;Barbie&#8217;, Greta Gerwig May Write and Direct &#8216;Chronicles of Narnia&#8217; for Netflix

While the excitement for Barbie builds up, Greta Gerwig is already eyeing
another franchise. The Oscar-nominated director is known for her amazing
capabilities. We have seen trailers of this through her work in Lady Bird,
Little Women, and Barbie. But Hollywood is ready to exploit and explore her
skills with some larger-than-life projects. While the pink plastic-centered
flick will release in theaters, Netflix may lock the director up for an equally
interesting franchise.

Classic franchise movies have proved to be timeless, and immune to changing
technologies. If anything, progression allows fantasy movies to be shown in a
new light with a new team, while keeping the same vibe. Considering how well the
Barbie trailer looks, we can expect Greta Gerwig’s magic for the Narnia world
soon.


HOW GRETA GERWIG COULD CHANGE THE WORLD OF NARNIA AFTER BARBIE

Netflix is expanding by adding different genres and buying rights to movies,
anime, and more. They are trying to enchant Greta Gerwig into making live
adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia. According to WhatsOnNetflix
[https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflix-eyes-greta-gerwig-to-direct-the-chronicles-of-narnia-movie/],
she will not just direct but also write the movies, provided that they land a
deal. Barbie itself was a big project, but Narnia will be a multi-fold deal if
confirmed.



As per reports, Netflix has signed a deal with the CS Lewis company which owned
rights to the Narnia Chronicles. This makes it the first time in history that
all rights of production of the seven books have been acquired by a company.
Through it, the OTT giant looks to explore the Narnia world and reintroduce it
to a new generation.

So far we have seen The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. But how could Gerwig add to it?


HOW THE DIRECTOR COULD EXPLORE THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

Even before its release, Barbie is roaring for its colorful word, magical sets,
and Gerwig’s capability to bring the series alive. But Narnia is an even bigger
franchise, considered on the scale of Lord of The Rings or Harry Potter. This
will test her art of storytelling while bringing the fantasy characters to life.



While Barbie’s budget was $100 million, the potential Netflix franchise could
shell out even more. Perhaps the release of the former movie on the 21st of July
will be a deciding factor in Gerwig’s deal with Netflix. And if all works in
Gerwig’s favor, perhaps Millie Bobby Brown

Narnia franchise, after missing out on it last time
