Netflix unveils first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew

The first look at Greta Gerwig’s vision for Narnia has been revealed.

Today, Netflix is giving a first look at her vision for CS Lewis’s magical world in the trailer for The Magician’s Nephew, the first chronological book in the beloved series.

With the soundtrack of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven, the trailer opens with magician Andrew Ketterley (Daniel Craig) intoning that “sometimes one story is the beginning to all the others”, as he gives a group of kids a magic ring that will transport them to strange and wonderful lands.

Elsewhere, the trailer gives a first look at many locations and characters familiar to fans, including Jadis (Emma Mackey, the future White Witch) and Aslan, the mythical lion voiced by Meryl Streep.

The Magician’s Nephew tells the story of two children in Edwardian England named Digory and Polly (newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell) who chance upon the Wood Between Worlds, a realm with many portals to different dimensions. There, they witness the birth of Narnia.

“Narnia is a mega woke slop insanity,” says the source. “Think Amazon Rings of Power but worse.”

It’s too bad more people don’t read these wonderful stories that stimulate the mind instead of watching them and having mindless glittering images poured into their heads.

I wonder how many get their Christian theology from shows like “The Chosen”?

She directed Barbie which I watched for 5 minutes and then changed the channel.

Unwatchable slop, AI or otherwise.

Netflix is giving CS Lewis the “Rings of Power” treatment. No thanks. This needs to crash hard and burn hard.

Halfway through The Silver Chair. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the entire series.

The wonderful real stories in the Bible, The Living Word, are good enough for this household, and will absolutely not change. 📖

Wokeness, once again, is demonstrating the one talent it has: turning what it has touched to s**t.

Netflix gets what they deserve when they hired Greta to do this movie. They know her history and did it anyway.
