>Actress Emma Mackey spoke during an interview about her role in the upcoming Narnia film. She plays Jadis, the White Witch, and mentioned that filming is set to begin sometime in September. She described the film as "the next Lord of the Rings."

So, /tv/, can Greta Gerwig pull it off? She’s starting with The Magician’s Nephew.

Arne't they making Aslan female? It's DOA if that happens. It'll be the next Golden Compass.

Why is the environment girl changing to acting.

no, doa

What's the bets they make the White Witch into a misunderstood woman?

>>212731012 (OP)
This isn't 2005, Narnia was big because Christians went to see it en masse because "ASTLAN IS JESUS!" and it was a a Christian alternative to Harry Potter, but 20 years later Christianity is much less culturally dominant

>>212731012 (OP)
tfw no good magicians nephew adaptation

If one of the kids is a nigger or there's a single nigger in London or Charn. It's fucking over.

>>212731045
That would be insanely retarded. A majestic lion is a classic visual.

>>212731087
I remember when my Evangelical parents took me to see it and they were constantly leaning into my ear saying that Aslan was the lion of Judah and the witch was Satan

>>212731045
>Arne't they making Aslan female?
that's basically blasphemy since he's supposed to be a Christ allegory

They are delusional. This won't even be as good as Disney's attempt.

I'm sure that's the only reason they are doing this. Revisionist history and all that.

Are they going to make a movie about how everyone was a cunt to her and that's why she killed everyone in her world?

>>212731045
Are you joking?

He's supposed to be literally Christ, who just happens to take the form of a Lion in Narnia. But it's meant to be the same guy that came here and got crucified.

>>212732319
Yes and I have no interest in watching a 2025 version of Narnia

>>212731087
>ASTLAN IS JESUS
As a Christian, I always found that to be kind of disgusting blasphemy. Just as bad as when he is portrayed as a wet blanket. If you read the Gospels rather than just the sanitised version thats safe for kids, you know Jesus as quite the bad ass, railing against the hypocrisy that ruined Judaism (still very relevant today), smashing up money lending stalls trying to profiteer from religion, and other cool stuff. To change him into a cuddly lion is bullshit.

>>212732393
Who does?

>The next LOTR

Doesn't make sense, Greta Gerwig directing implies subversion. It can't be the next LOTR if it strays too far from the source.

no. hollywood is still ran by people who don't like her. the movie will do well but it won't get the support it could have got if someone else was doing it. silence and indifference are going to be levy'd against the movie.

It won't do well with femlan, and that will just be one of the retarded things she does

No, it will suck.

>>212731087

Harry Potter has Christian imagery and motifs but using the supernatural tropes of Wizards and Witches and mythology. It's just that a bunch of Portestants got upset with the magic in the books and films even though Lord of the Rings and even King Arthur movies and t.v. shows have them.

>>212731012 (OP)
Left wing pigs can't make good films. Their blood is the color of shit. Everything they make is the color of shit.

Why would they even waste time trying this?

>>212731087
Christianity is just as culturally dominant, it just has less representation in the media.

This is why, looking at television and film you'd assume America is a shit colored communist country, but then it votes to repeal Roe vs Wade and deport all foreigners.

If they actually made the film Christian and honest, it would sell great, but they won't. They'll make it shit colored and anti-white and communist, and so it will not sell at all.

>>212731087
It was always funny to me that for a Christian-coded series, Narnia uses an awful lot of Islamic/Turkish terms.

Aslan is an obvious one as it's the Turkish word for lion but Jadis is also a Turkish word which literally means "witch".

>>212732636
LAMO

when you see a lot of big news that aim to generate hype but nothing is really going on with the movie itself, then you know it's not going to happen. They are testing the waters and it looks like it's not catching. How is this not obvious?

>>212731403
At the end of the books Susan doesn't go to Narnia/Heaven when she dies because she forgot about Narnia when she discovered "boys and shopping".

So fragile kek

>>212731012 (OP)
Given that Lewis was more open about the Christian themes in the story than Tolkien was, how are they going to "It was never about Christianity" this?
>>212731083
Maybe they make Susan the real hero of the story because she realises Narnia was all in their heads all along and was never real, while the rest got trapped in fantasyland or something idk

>>212731087
That's why they're making it anti-Christian.

>>212732404
>a cuddly lion

Nah, they won't do it. That got "leaked" purposely to gauge the reaction and it was pretty terrible. They're definitely going to course-correct.

>>212734797
They impaled his head with a crown of thorns, cruisified him to death and shoved a massive spear in him to drain him of blood.

Less than a day later he's alive again, has rolled away the massive stone in front of his tombs entrance and is walking about doing some gardening. He even manages a badass James Bond style quip as if he was Roger Moore. That sound like wet blanket to you? If it were an anime you'd be lapping it up.

what a stupid choice

>>212737919
It's Netflix. If the witch is white and Aslan not female, the children are guaranteed to be at least mystery meat. 100% chance of the cab driver's wife to be black. Black queen and such.

His previous credits include Atonement (2007), The Avengers (2012), Anna Karenina (2012), Godzilla (2014), and The Greatest Showman (2017).
