Director Greta Gerwig followed up her $1.5 billion box office success with Barbie by directing an adaptation of C.S. Lewis' novel The Magician's Nephew for Netflix. The streaming service released the first trailer for the film, set to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven."Gerwig stated that her vision for the project was inspired by 1960s-era musician David Bowie, though she clarified that the movie will not be a musical.
The source novel serves as a prequel to the Chronicles of Narnia series, explaining the origins of the London lamppost found in the magical land. C.S. Lewis published the book in 1955 after struggling to write it before four other entries in the series. The project revives a major literary franchise that last saw screen adaptations through a 2000s film series covering the first three books.
Those earlier films suffered from diminishing returns, leading to the expiration of the franchise's film rights by 2011 after plans to adapt The Silver Chair stalled.
