https://www.theinsneider.com/p/greta-gerwig-tension-netflix-layoff-doug-belgrad-out-dan-lin-bela-bajaria-paul-greengrass-test-drive>The InSneider is now further reporting on friction between Netflix film chief Dan Lin and Greta Gerwig over 'Narnia,' the fantasy epic that's reportedly carrying a $280M budget, with some saying it's much higher than that.>One source tells Sneider the tension is very real, and that people at Netflix think the movie is "awful," calling it "a genuine problem.” A second source, who attended a test screening over the summer, compared it to Ava DuVernay's "A Wrinkle in Time," the 2018 Disney adaptation that reportedly lost the studio close to $100M. According to that source, the mood in the room was deflated once the lights came up.>That screening reportedly led Netflix to order reshoots. The same source flagged a structural issue that may still be fixed in post: the characters apparently don't reach Narnia until the third act. For a movie called 'Narnia,' that's a curious choice.>Sneider also reports that Gerwig has had outside help in the editing room with an experienced editor or director, possibly both, quietly brought in to help shape the film. Nick Houy was the sole credited editor on "Lady Bird," "Little Women" and "Barbie," but 'Narnia' lists three editors, with Wyatt Smith and Andrew Weisblum joining Houy. Of course, similar worries arose with "Barbie" at Warner Bros, which had Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca interfering in the editing room, and that film went on to gross $1.4 billion.
Did some AI agent delete their shit as well?
>magician's nephew adaptation managing to be boringthis should surprise nobody who's read the book. It's not an easy story to make palatable to normalfag audiences.you'd have to cold open with digory climbing through the attic as opening credits play, he finds polly, they find the rings and get transported to things betwixt almost immediately, ADD sequence of seeing different worlds, meet up with jadis (with a properly cast actress and good design for the role instead of what they did in this flick) before the movie has ran for 20 mins, ADD sequence of the kids and jadis in different worlds, take her back to london, ADD sequence of kids, jadis, cabbie, horse, and uncle all seeing different worlds, and then the big extended narnia portioni guarantee this move has way too much pissing around london both before and after meeting jadis
>>223752478Translation: The movie is incredibly based kino and that scares Netflix because they hate success and only want to produce absolute bottom barrel slop at all times.Just like when they cancelled Dark Crystal.
>>223752478I don't trust Netflix executives to know what quality is, so this doesn't tell me too much. It just makes me think that it isn't second screen material
>>223752478>characters apparently don't reach Narnia until the third acAre they seriously going to surf dracula fuckin Narnia of all things?
>>223752478Best movie poster I've seen a long time tbdesu
>>223752598That's literally how the book is.
CHRIST IS KING
>>223752775So glad they spoiled all the coolest effects in the trailer so I don't have to bother watching now. /s
>>223752598that's how the first (chronologically) book goes>kids find rings that one kid's uncle made>can go to and from magic pool zone Act 2 that links to all other worlds>go to a few worlds>find one that's just D E A D, front to back>find ominous bell>boy rings it just to neg the girl>supreme empress aryan queen Jadis awakens>"oh yeah i did this to this world, they slighted me">HAHA okay let's just ditch this crazy lady and get the fuck out of here i promise not to ring any more bells>jadis grabs on and they all go back to london>jadis goes on a rampage and the boy's uncle keeps trying to fuck her>all of this takes up a supremely large portion of the book despite how much shit they cram into what follows>kids, uncle, jadis (wielding part of a lamp as a weapon), cabbie, and a horse are all in contact with each other and wind up somewhere empty>a light begins to shine as someone somewhere sings DA, DA-DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAA and ̶A̶ ̶K̶r̶a̶b̶b̶y̶ ̶P̶a̶t̶t̶y̶ Narnia starts to be formed>animals popping out of the ground and shit as a lion sings them into existence>jadis chucks the pole at the lion and fucking bolts>lion gives some animals intelligence and speech and says "nobody eat these ones pls">cabbie says "wow this is nuts" and his horse gets to be a talking FLYING horse>cabbie gets to wish his wife into narnia in exchange>the boy's mom is sick and he wishes for her to be better>lion (okay it's aslan i'm going to call him aslan from here on) says "you need renown 4 and have to do my paralogue sidequest first">sends the boy and the girl to the garden of eden to get an apple that will help the boy's mom>jadis is there scarfing down forbidden fruit and looking kinda ill over it>return with the apple and aslan says "okay now don't fuckin EAT the apple, plant it and feed the resulting apple to your mom, pls">he also points out that a lamp post grew from the chunk jadis threw(!!!!)>apple tree made into wardrobeend

I'm not seeing what's so bad about this, based on the trailers. Looks pretty much like what I remember the book being. Everyone is appropriately cast, which is highly surprising. The witch is sexy.What are we mad about?>the characters apparently don't reach Narnia until the third act. For a movie called 'Narnia,' that's a curious choice.That's literally the Magician's Nephew. They go to a whole other world, and only at the very end is Narnia created.
>>223752478Netflix is retarded, thats the book theyre adapting, Narnia just gets created.BTW there is a manga adaptation of the Magicians Nephew thats pretty 1:1 you can read if youre curious.
>>223752591The movie tested poorly with phone screen watchers so it needs reshoots
>>223752478Even infinity wars!
>280M budgetHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAdon't give Christian hating leftoids a Christian property to adapt. anyone could have told you this was DOA when they first announced she was doing it
>>223753246No thanks bro
