Greta Gerwig Is ‘Properly Scared’ of Directing ‘Narnia’ Movies After ‘Barbie’: ‘I’m Terrified of It. It’s Extraordinary.’
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Although rumors had circulated online for several months, it wasn’t until a recent New Yorker profile that confirmation arrived regarding Greta Gerwig tackling “The Chronicles of Narnia” film adaptations for Netflix. Gerwig is reportedly attached to direct two “Narnia” movies. Gerwig confirmed on the Total Film podcast that she’s heading to Narnia after “Barbie.” “I haven’t even really started wrapping my arms around it, but I’m properly scared of it, which feels like a good place to start,” Gerwig told the Total Film podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) about entering Narnia. “I think when I’m scared, it’s always a good sign. Maybe when I stop being scared, it’ll be like, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t do that one.’ No, I’m terrified of it. It’s extraordinary. And it’s exciting.”
