Nice. I wonder which book she'll do first.

 

[Iceman]

Can't wait to start getting info on these. I'm pretty confident with her in charge.

 

[Drizzle]

Nice. I wonder which book she'll do first.

I'm betting on The Magician's Nephew. It's the first story chronologically and it's one of the books that wasn't adapted in the most recent film series so it's the likeliest candidate.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Nice. I wonder which book she'll do first.

I'm guessing Magician's Nephew. IIRC, that was the plan when the reboot was first rumored.

I'm very excited for Gerwig taking this on. Now, if only Netflix would give it a proper theater run.

Hope it's MN and AHAHB

To be fair, Swinton gave us a pretty damn good one.

I thought Nicole Kidman would have also been great casting for that film back then.

 

[Iceman]

Yep,

Yep, Charlize would have been great too.

Now I know you're not disrespecting Tilda Swinton like this.

hate to bring that to you, Greta….but he did The Prestige first

She must’ve gotten Begins and TDK confused because The Prestige was made in between. And even though Nolan hasn’t made a “small” movie in a long time, I can see what she means and I would definitely like to see her achieve her goal. Stuff like Dunkirk and Oppenheimer aren’t exactly blockbuster type stories but they were event movies thanks to Nolan, so getting more stories like that in that type of package would be really awesome actually.

So, the reboot will continue where the trilogy ended?

 

[VictusMortuus]

They should just release them in chronological order and do The Magician’s Nephew first.

I like the thought of it

 

[Filmfreak]

While The Silver Chair is probably the second best book and a story we haven't seen adapted in the movies (just in that 80s BBC show), I do think it's an odd choice to use a start point of this new version, and would have also preferred the Magician's Nephew before everything else, not only because it's chronologically the first one and it makes more sense, but also because it has never been adapted in any medium.

You have a valid point. I prefer your suggestion.

I wonder if MN will ever happen. Or HHS.

I always felt The Magician's Nephew would have been a good start off point for a reboot.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Do we know what they're adapting?

It's Silver Chair still right?

 

[Spider-Fan]

It's Silver Chair still right?

I dont think it is, unless there is news I never heard. It was Silver Chair when it was still loosely connected to the OG series, but this seems like a total reboot so I have no idea what the launch point here is
