>>223732485Greta went from blowing swanberg to directing billion dollar hollywood films
>>223732485
>>223732485Looks like shit.
>>223732566it's Emma Mackey
>>223732485It has great visuals, and I liked seeing Aslan roar Narnia into existence. But why is Jadis a 1980s molly induced party girl?She should be regal and intimidating
>>223732485looks utterly batshit
Actually looks good
It will make 300+ million dollars at the box office.
>>223732687i hope they give greta full control over the adaptation of your favorite series next
>>223732485>le slow version of Stairway to Heaven fucking lol
Better not fuck it up. It's babby's first surreal wtf is going on story.
Someone please give me an example of an American director being able to make British childlike whimsy work because I can't think of any. Chris Columbus and Terry Gilliam didn't pull it off, and this looks like it falls into all the same traps.
>>223732485Looks fine. More Christian than most Christians can handle.
it would look good if it weren't for the music choice
I don't have a problem with it. Besides using fucking Led Zeppelin for the trailer.
The king and queen of Narnia are blackwashed.
Took me a sec to remember that Digory is kind of a fucking retard in the book
>>223732485Looks like garbage.
>>223732804Aslan is foidwashed.
>>223732485No thank you.
>>223732854>Meryl Streep is playing AslanOkay now I hate it.
>>223732792Extremely Based
This is what happens when you put Anglican art in the hands of a Unitarian who went to Catholic school.
i know nothing about narnia but this seems kino yep feels good to be a gerwigchad she just don't miss kino after kino after kino
>>223732485>stairway to heaven starts playingDropped.
>>223732875Any nation ruled by women and foreigners is cursed by God.
>>223732485>setting the background of a trailer to a random classic rock song that doesn't even fithate this retarded trend
>>223732485ai
>>223732913>he thinks the classic rock will only be in the trailerThey've already said this Narnia is "David Bowie inspired".
>>223732705This movie's budget is >$200 million. Not that it matters to Netflix, but even $300 million would be a theatrical money loser.
>>223732932Why doesn't the Witch have weird David Bowie eyes then? That would actually be a good design for her.
>>223732953Well the Witch isn't from Narnia.
Now Daniel Craig will have been in Mormon Narnia and regular Narnia
>>223732854>>223732873Oooooh. Wow. That fucking blows.
>>223732932Oh fuck, please tell me it's not going to be a musical.
>>223732970Tilda Swinton has weird fucking eyes so why not do something like that?
>>223732953she gave aslan david bowie eyes because david bowie "saved her life"
>>223732913she thought the quiet bit vs the loud bit would represent the real world vs Narnia. what you actually want to do that in a real film score is uses very different musical styles and orchestrations. unfortunatley from what we've heard, rock music is used in the actual film itself instead of a score.
>>223732975What other Narnia has he been in?
>>223732485>No one who had ever seen a real lion would have been taken in for a moment.
>>223733021The Golden Compass
>>223733038that's atheist narnia
>>223732982the lion sings narnia into existence, i would not be suprised if brain dead foids ran with that
>>223732953They put those in Aslan
>>223733050Could've sworn my parents wouldn't let me see it because they thought it was Mormon propaganda. Either way he's been in both now.
>>223733038Oh I thought you meant an ACTUAL narnia movie, not a knockoff.
No Blacks, Asians and rap in the trailer. WTF is happening here?
>>223733099>>223733096nta but TGC is so much of a response to Narnia that its effectively the same genre.
So is Greta one of those Christian feminists who calls God "she"?
>>223733096plausibly he's one of those ex-mormon atheists, so it's the mormon god he doesn't believe in, and the story suffers doubly in that sense
if this is actually some cock rock psychedelic trip version of Narnia, it mite b cool. Ralph Bakshi's cartoons of The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings aren't 'accurate' but i appreciate them.that said it's probably overproduced digital sludge, like that live action BFG film nobody remembers. 3D and sparkles everywhere, nobody feels like they're actually in the environments.
>>223733118I haven't seen the golden compass but its also a biblical allegory story?
>>223733064>lion sings narnia into existencepretty cool. haven't thought about this franchise in years, but I remember loving the original film as a kid.
>>223733135It is but it's "God is evil and original sin is good".
>>223733135for the record, narnia isn't allegory. i know it's pedantic, but i'm autistic about this
>>223733107The "Asians" and blacks are surprises for the final movie. You're unlikely to get nigga noise, though, as Greta is making this some glamrock quasi-musical thing.
>>223733166>narnia isn't allegoryonly because Aslan is actually Jesus instead of merely symbolizing him
>>223733120its another shit hollywood by kikesstop trying to make it make sense
That music is really out of place.
>>223733166It 100% is.
>>223733182aslan is a lion in a childs story
>>223732485Holy mother of CGI mega cities.
>>223733182yeah, but that's a significant difference>>223733214it isn't, it's a piece of speculative fiction. like "what if Jesus had spent time in a different country at some point in His life?" except instead of a different country it's a different world modelled after fairy tales
>>223733127The Magician's Nephew is a trippy book in general. I just imagined it being less colorful. If I remember right they spend a couple chapters walking through a literal black and white city until that retard Digory accidentally awakens the Witch.
>>223733231>I am [in your world].’ said Aslan. ‘But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.
>>223733231So you haven't read the story.
>>223733252Yeah, Charn is supposed to be dull and dead. Also Uncle Andrew's laboratory looks way too cool.
>>223733166Tolkien was always up CS Lewis' ass about Narnia for being a simple fantasy series for kids with some Christian imagery sprinkled in. Fucking Santa Claus shows up and gives weapons to children. Just roll with it and don't take it too seriously.
>putting Led Zeppelin in this slop
>>223733253>>223733266>hello children
>>223733272this isn't about seriousness, it's just basic taxonomy
>giving a shit about a bad adaptation of bad materialMight be interesting, I'm open to it.
>>223733284I read that in Chef's voice.
A strong seven out of ten.
>>223733165Uhhh, its been over 20 years since Ive read the books, but isnt the antagonist a fallen angel (Metatron) who imprisoned the actual God?
It doesn't really look BAD but this isn't what my imagination conjured when I read it as a kid
The first king and queen of Narnia in the movie
>>223733278>what music should we use for the Narnia trailer?>how about that Tolkien-inspired rock band?
>>223733345The queen, not a joke
>>223733342that's because greta moved the time period forward by like 60 years so she could fill it with classic rock
>>223733252it's the most sci-fi of the books. unlike the others it implies that the children travel to another planet because the sun aove Jadis' city is different.
>>223733345AH SHIT, WE WUZ NARNIGGAS
>>223733335>Uhhh, its been over 20 years since Ive read the books, but isnt the antagonist a fallen angel (Metatron) who imprisoned the actual God?yeah but the actual God was also a fraud who set up the tyrannical system before he went senile. the good angels are the rebel ones.
>>223733367>unlike the othersDid... did you think Narnia was another place on earth? Are you that stupid?
>NarniaPass.
>>223733367It explains that they are going to entirely different universes.
>>223732485this looks way less terrible than I expected but then again femAslan didn't speak
>>223733367now that you point it out, that's true. it's like he wanted to go back and do one more space trilogy book. which is funny, because pretty shortly after he released Till We Have Faces, which is by far his mostly purely, classically fantasy book
> boy is fat and stupid and fucks up everything> girl is smart yass queen slay girlboss
>>223733359She cute tho.
>>223732769I'll take Chris Columbus' take on Harry Potter overthe dour state David Yates kept it in for the last 20 years
>>223732709Unironically, I hope she does mine.
>>223733401>still seething about NarniaGo back to Catholic heaven, John and leave Clive alone.
Disgusting CGI slop, but I guess that's what most of the movies are like nowadays.Back to watching my pre-10s kinos.
Why doesn't Netflix put out 4K trailers? The part where Aslan is made of stars looks so compressed in 1080p.
>>223733410>>223733396C S Lewis wouldn't have known what the fuck that meantthe concept of multiverses wasn't conceived until the 60s by a different fantasy writer called Michael Moorcockin the first book Narnia is more like Never Never Land in Peter Pan, an escapist personification of childish imagination. that's why it's contrasted with the children being sent to the countryside to escape the Blitz.
>>223732709I would unironically trust her to do a better job making feminist Star Wars than everyone else who's tried
>>223732769>an example of an American director being able to make British childlike whimsy workcan you name any non-American either?
>>223733459No, Narnia is great, just it has been done already. Do screwtapes or that hideous strength
>>223733467You're a retard.
>>223733467>C S Lewis wouldn't have known what the fuck that meant>the concept of multiverses wasn't conceived until the 60s by a different fantasy writer called Michael MoorcockWrong.>"Only dust," said Uncle Andrew. "Fine, dry dust. Nothing much to look at. Not much to show for a lifetime of toil, you might say. Ah, but when I looked at that dust (I took jolly good care not to touch it) and thought that every grain had once been in another world—I don't mean another planet, you know; they're part of our world and you could get to them if you went far enough—but a really other world—another Nature—another universe—somewhere you would never reach even if you travelled through the space of this universe for ever and ever—a world that could be reached only by Magic—well!"
>>223733480Narnia hasn't been done already.Shit, no one has done The Last Battle. And I doubt anyone ever will.
>>223733480how in the world would you adapt screwtape letters for the big screen? it's literally just a collection of letters discussing morality
I've waited my whole life for an adaptation of the book, this is so depressing. It looks like one of the shitty Thor sequels
>>223733480Magician's Nephew arguably has been long overdue for an adaptation. Screwyape Letters would be great though. My church put it on as a play and it was fantastic. Especially the guy who played Screwtape and nailed the monologues. Also they basically made A Grief Observed with Shadowlands. A lot of people don't know about that movie. It's kino.
>>223733504the BBC series was good>>223733506
You guys know it’s a girl power movie right? I’m surprised you’re giving it a chance.
>>223733510I feel your pain, anon. This is non what I imagined it would look like. The book is much more somber and weird. This has way too much color and energy.
>>223733551I mean in the book Digory is a fucking retard and the girl is the smart one. So I'm not even mad about that.
>>223733551i am not going to watch this kike trash anon, nice try queer
>only in theaters
>Netflix
>>223733576They really had to throw in that Greta made the Barbie movie to basically beg for people to pay to see it.
>>223732485Looks uninteresting.I hate the term dei because it's literally just agitprop spread by useful idiots that worsens the divide of white men vs everyone else.But Greta Gerwig is a mediocre-at-best director who got incredibly lucky with Barbie (which was shit) and is now pushed as one of the greats purely because they need a female director to band behind and the actually good female directors (eg. Ildiko Enyedi, Céline Sciamma, even Claire Denis from time to time) are too arthouse and not friendly enough for the mainstream crowd.This film looks like pure boomerslop shit.
>>223732485at what point can we stop calling these movies adaptations? most of them are some directors stupid idea with an IP slapped on it. this shit might as well be a brand new thing
>>223733574I wouldn't go that far. Digory is about as smart as her in the book, with the exception of one act of utter stupidity. Polly sort of falls out of the story as it goes on, though, becoming a secondary character.
Never read the books, only seen those flicks from yesteryear. What timeline is this film on compared to those aforementioned films?
>>223733503I stand corrected. fucking google thinks the term "multiverse" is the same as the concept. The Magician's Nephew was written 6th, though, I don't think C S Lewis thought about what narnia was very much until then. probably also because people refused to consider children's books as in the same category as anything else until much later.
>down tempo classic rock song>every line is lofty wank delivered breathlessly>the music crescendos as some overblown CGI covers the screenWhy does every trailer do this? It makes me hate your product immediately.
>>223733615this is the first book of the series, which takes place ~40 years before lion the witch and the wardrobe, but greta pushed the period forward by 60 years so she can do a rock opera
>>223733589literally standard marketing anonget used to the idea that female directors are viewed as potentially bankable because it's not going to change.
>>223733615This one takes place before Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe, the first movie they made.You remember the old weird guy who owned the house the kids are sent to? Well he's the little boy protagonist in this film.
>>223733646at least the movie isn't using washed-out-grey filters over the fantasy scenes.
>>223733546Did the BBC series get to The Last Battle?
>>223733504They're never doing The Last Battle because it has sandniggers as the bad guys.
>>223733594its called fan fiction or in this case kike fiction
>>223732485>devil symbol playing christ symbol>male symbol into femaleit's all so tiresome. anyone else also notice the tranny colors when the boy put on the ring kek
>>223733480>screwtapesToo based for Hollywood
>>223733673yes that was my first thought too, the atiff in England is blue and drab like every other film these days and also England irl but I assumed correctly it was to add contrast to the fantasy worlds. But I'm still not a fan of the grading, I think every shot looked cold.
>>223732485Good to see Tim Burton get more work after Alice in Wonderland.
>>223733673>>223733734greta's one virtue is that she really likes color
>>223733700No, its did lion witch wardrobe, caspian, dawn tred, and silver chair
>>223733734>atiffstuff god damn phone>>223733741this too
>>223733749Yeah Last Battle has never been done. And never will I think.
>>223732932> David Bowie inspired".I sleep.
>>223733748it's just done in a cold digital way that makes it looks very non-fantastic. I'm a basic bitch with film but Greta's handling of color is trash compared to Jodorowski or Argento for example. Real lights and real sets beat the shit out of colorful digital assets.
it's occurring to me now that AI is probably good enough i could use it to make the shadow puppet adaptation of Till We Have Faces i've always wanted
>>223732485call me a pleb, i don't careStairway to Heaven elevates EVERYTHING
>>223733783are you 16 years old?
>>223733734the problem I have is, it doesn't look like it has unified art direction, which Barbie actually got right. fuck knows. it's not like we were ever going to get something as good as The Neverending Story.
>>223733135lol Philip Pullman is an arch atheist. It’s kill god fanfiction, it co opts biblical themes to subvert them.
>>223733797what 16 year old gives a shit about stairway to heaven? nigga is obviously 48
>>223733243> His
>>223733741the thing is that Tim used to be great at exactly what this movie SHOULD be like. he just lost his mojo completely when CGI became an easier alternative to practical effects.
when will they finally stop with "slowed down version of famous song" trailers
>>223733821teens posting "I was born in the wrong generation" on Youtube videos of classic rock while complaining about modern pop music has been a thing for 20 years
>>223733821>nigga is obviously a botftfy
>>223733831>i entered the thread about the christian book adaptation and there were christians in it, how could this happen to me
>>223733243>and also what if Santa and Jesus were somehow metaphysically related to each other and were both in the same storylike I said the books didn't start out as works of sci-fi.
>>223733294FVKING KEK, my parents were saying the same thing.
They never make psychedelic rock operas about prog B sides or obscure groups, it's always Stairway, Bohemian Rhapsody, Space Oddity, Another Brick in the Wall, Tom Sawyer, etc. It's fucking trite.
>>223733915>despite being in a different universe, Santa is more consistent in his physical appearance than Jesuswhat did Colin mean by this?
>>223733615Book is labeled 0. It's a prequel written after all the other books were finished. Lewis just had an itch to write something surreal i guess.
>>223733294you need to read "Tales From Narnia, Volume 37 (page 567 of 900)", compiled by C S Lewis' grandson.then it all makes sense.
>>223733942the question of the book is "what would Jesus be like in a fairy tale world full of talking animals?" santa doesn't need to change to fit in, because he's already very fairy tale shaped
>>223733967>written after all the other books were finishedNot really. It was written second to last.
>>223732485I will be watching for the witch lady
>>223733942Why does every character named Colin have to be a fucking retard or a cripple?
>>223733272>Fucking Santa Claus shows up and gives weapons to childreneveryone knows that you find magic weapons in an undead monster's grave after being rescued by highly lore-consistent character Tom Bombadil. Lewis was a hack compared to our autistic lord Tolkien.
>>223733942>>223733997do you guys really think the C in CS Lewis stands for colin?
>>223733986Like anyone cares about The Last Battle. There's a reason why they've always struggled to adapt all of The Chronicles of Narnia.
>>223734011No, but there is a Colin in Narnia and he's a retard. Dunno what that other anon meant. Someone itt already referred to him as Clive so either that anon is retarded or is a really bad communicator.
>>223732485the girl will be the next big thing in Hollywood
>>223732777Trips of Divine Truth.
>wearing makeup means a female is a whore! (despite being worn by 99% of teenaged girls)what did Cascading Stylesheets Lewis mean by this?
>>223732485Reminder that Meryl Streep is voicing Aslan
>>223733971>And on the sledge sat a person whom everyone knew the moment they set eyes on him. He was a huge man in a bright red robe (bright as holly-berries) with a hood that had fur inside it and a great white beard that fell like a foamy waterfall over his chest.WHY is the extradimensional Father Christmas dressed in red when that was added to the lore of Santa an American political cartoonist in 1870?? find out in my new series of pretentious 40-hour youtube videos about why C S Lewis was woke and gay and also the books have too many plot holes.
>>223734011>it's actually Clivefuck that's even worse>>223734021the last battle is the original "streaming series has disappointing final season with shoehorned-in political message".
>>223734110he somewhat famously hated his first name, and demanded he be called jack starting at like five years old or something
>>223734021>Like anyone cares about The Last BattleI care. Its the final book. It wraps up the whole story.
>>223734080literally the Shane Gillis of the 1950s.
>>223733942CliveAnd he heated the name and had his friends and family call him Jack.
>>223734131Speaking of "Jack" I highly recommend Shadowlands. Good movie. Also sad. The age gap might gross you out but that's what happened. CS Lewis actually has a really weird history when it came to women. He fought in WW1 and when his friend died he came back from the war and fucked his friend's wife.
>>223733781Be the change you want to see in the world, anon.
>>223734178lewis just generally had a weird life
the weird 80s glamrock shit isnt cool and doesnt fit the vibe of the story at all. it seems like something you add because you think the source material itself is just boring
>>223733467> invents multiverses > named more cockWho writes this shit?
>>223734218Yeah, it shouldn't be this whimsical.
Why did they turn Narnia into Thor: Love and Thunder?
>>223732485I will simply not consume.
>>223734230He didn't invent multiverses. He coined the term.
>>223732485Looks gaudy and stupid
>>223734242Because Greta is a woman and wants everything to be bright and colorful even when the source material is dark and drab.
>>223734242too much cgi
>>223734242fuckfuckfuck that's exactly what it looks like
Greta needs to stick to what she's good at, that being femslop.
Who's the cute girl character with the shiny outfit?
>>223734275Kinda the opposite of movies for the last 20 years.Where the source material is lots of bright colors but everything looks drab and gray.
>>223734218>>223734235it needs to transport the audience which you can't do when you're using the same soundtrack gimmick as James Gunn.
>>223734329Emma Mackey, she's playing Cate Blanchet.
>>223734329an attractive woman who wears makeup, which in this mythos means she's literally Satan.
>>223734343studio execs really got oneshot by gotg
>>223734329Emma Mackey? Some literal who that looks like brown/French Emma Stone
>>223734355You thought Cate Blanchett played the Witch?
>>223734242the cgi sets are clearly actors standing in a small area surrounded by greenscreen walls.
>>223732485Gilboss garbo, no thanks.
>>223734343i am beyond sick of movie trailers and movies having radio music in them. its super hacky at this point
Its nice to know that Netflix is on its death bed. What a fucking cancer this service was.
>>223734404Once they started making their own shit it was over. As a distributor they were fine, convenient and cheap really. But once they started making their own shit it all went downhill.
>>223734400it's confirmed that the movies themselves also use rock music extensively. and not original songs written for the movies like https://youtu.be/2WN0T-Ee3q4?si=rLmjigHHmnLSGWuS
>>223734404the most sickening thing has been watching HBO outperform them for their entire existence while they were artificially inflated by investor capital regardless.
>>223732554This song is not for you then:https://youtube.com/shorts/88xd3iRfEwk
now we're gonna see youtube grifters who have never read narnia and have no investment in the franchise make videos complaining to rally the bigots
>>223734472looking forward to nerdrotics group all pretending to care about christianity.
>>223734472I'm pretty over all the YouTubers who make a living just complaining about things. I saw the trailer, I'm not happy about the direction they went but maybe I'll watch it for free some day.
>>223732485What the fuck were they thinking with this background music?
>>223734528>women>thinking
>>223734213He was an odd guy.This was back where you could be weird but still respectable.
>>223734542I don't even think it's a matter of gender. Most hollywood movies have absolute slop for music in 2k26. Not even a fucking fantasy movie is allowed to have an original, fun, an memorable soundtrack.
>>223734178He did shamelessly out all his old schoolmates at Wyvern as a bunch of sodomites in his memoirs, which I found hilarious.
>>223734577You're reminding me of the first time I saw LotR and the lone violin kicked in. Yeah, we don't get that anymore.
>>223732485Isn't it the completely wrong time period? I always imagined it took place in the 1890s or somethingAlso the kid is too fat
>>223734668They moved it ahead by like 60 years.
>>223732639The trailer is soundtracked to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” an impressive sync considering that the band has historically been reluctant to license their music for movies and TV shows.Gerwig explained that she showed the film to singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page and they were so moved that they allowed her to use their iconic song.“They saw the heart of the film,” Gerwig shared, adding that the musicians understood her love for C.S. Lewis.Both Gerwig and Colbert agreed it was a fitting song for the film, with Gerwig calling it the “story of the movie,” as the track also explores a “spiritual quest.”
Just imagine this is the version of the film made by N.I.C.E.
>>223734688>Gerwig explained that she showed a giant pile of Netflix money to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and they were so moved that they allowed her to use their iconic song.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are fucking geezers. They weren't "moved" by her movie. They were probably half asleep the whole time. They don't give a fuck anymore.
>>223732485At least they didn't make them nig nogs
