Netflix’s film chief, Scott Stuber, has revealed surprising details about Greta Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia. Contrary to the traditional one-movie-per-book approach, Gerwig aims to incorporate the entire arc of C.S. Lewis’s beloved series into her film. One would imagine that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe would be considered an obvious choice, but Gerwig and producer Amy Pascal are exploring a narrative form that spans the entirety of the Narnia saga. The Chronicles of Narnia follows the adventures of the Pevensie children in the magical land of Narnia, offering a unique perspective on growth and maturity. Stuber highlights Gerwig’s deep connection to the Christian themes in Lewis’s books as a key factor in her selection for this ambitious project. He also confirms that the project is said to begin filming early next year. Read more

After a grueling 118-day strike, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have reached a tentative three-year deal, marking the end of the longest strike in SAG-AFTRA’s history. The agreement, described as “historic” includes significant wage and bonus increases, with a crucial focus on addressing concerns related to artificial intelligence (AI). Studio heads, including Ted Sarandos and Bob Iger, offered substantial protections against AI, paving the way for Hollywood to resume full-scale production within three weeks. While this marks a significant step forward, Hollywood still faces labour challenges, with VFX workers unionising at Disney and Marvel, and a potential strike looming in the video game industry. The deal signifies a hard-fought victory for over 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members and brings an end to a bitter labour dispute that began in May. Read more
