New Set Photos Show Jadis Rampaging Through Tower of London

Filming for Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ continued at the Tower of London yesterday, giving us our first clear look at Jadis being unleashed onto the streets and wreaking havoc in England.

Emma Mackey will portray Jadis, but the action filmed yesterday featured Mackey’s stunt double alongside a dummy stand-in (presumably) for Digory, who newcomer David McKenna will reportedly play.

Additional photos from the shoot, courtesy of photographer UnBoxPHD, can be found here.

A video of the filming was also posted:

Special thanks to ‘Emma’ for the tip.

    Honestly, Jadis’s make-up looks terribly cliched. Her outfit is garish and reeks of artificiality. The short hair only enhances this effect. Jadis from the book was terrifying, but also incredibly beautiful and provocative. I definitely miss that here. Jadis’s make-up in Gerwig’s film is decent at best. Compare this costume to the meticulousness and scale of Walden Media’s films—the difference is like the abyss between heaven and earth. I don’t want to complain, but the more information leaks about the new film, the less I want to see it.

    It’s really hard to judge quality and details given that this is only a stunt double, but I’m kind of warming to the look…. even if only a little bit.

    Jadis’ costume in the Pauline Baynes illustration was always wacky, and sure this is a slightly different flavour of wacky, but I’m hopeful that when we see the proper costume, on the proper actress, and presented on film, the effect won’t be quite so jarring as it was at first.

    God this film already looks terrible. Thanks for nothing Greta.

    This is clearly not intended for close-up shots, and I believe that only the top portion of the double’s body will even be seen in the final product. Don’t forget how tall Jadis is. The shots where the double is standing in the saddle are probably where they are actually shooting, and the stirrups are crazy-short, which means Jadis’s torso will be added in post-production, almost completely covering the double’s torso and legs, then legs will be added extending down even lower than Digory’s. That work will probably reveal a whole costume that we’re not seeing here.

    More than anything else, I hate the hair. The outfit I dislike, but I get it. Jadis has no idea how to dress in London. In the books, the people at the lamppost fight mocked her, laughed, and thought she belonged in an asylum. If her Charn outfit is good, I can forgive this. I really DON’T want to see it at the creation of Narnia, though.

    It’s like the director and the entire crew have got the booked mixed up with some kind of science fiction weirdness, its now set in the 50’s and she’s wearing GOGO boots and a kind of 1960’s inspired loose fitting outfit. When you say in every interview you do “I have great respect for the source material” and still produce not only the wrong time line but also the wrong look the audience simply have to conclude, you may know the title but actually have no idea about the story. Such potential wasted for nothing what has the industry become now !!!!!!
