Most fans assumed that Producer Amy Pascal was being flippant when she said Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia movie would be “all about rock ‘n roll.” But now, new comments seem to suggest there is at least some substance here:

This is not your mother’s or your grandmother‘s Narnia. The music in it is unbelievably contemporary music, which IMAX fans like. I’m not gonna say specifically, but things like Pink Floyd and The Doors.

What does all this mean for the film? Listen to our discussion and then post a comment below!

Amateur videos from the set of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew are continuing to pour in, with the latest being the most dramatic yet. The footage appears to show Emma Mackey’s stunt double pulling a wand from her boot and “blasting” a pedestrian out of the why. This might indicate two changes from the book: 1) Jadis has a wand, and 2) She is able to use magic in our world.

Would this be a big change or small change? Listen to our discussion and then post a comment below!

The first photos from the set of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming The Magician’s Nephew adaptation revealed a key detail: The story will apparently be set in 1955, unlike the book which was set in 1900. It may also be worth noting that The Magician’s Nephew book was published in 1955. How significant is this shift? And could it be setting the stage for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe being set in present day? Listen to the discussion and post a comment below!
