Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Officially Wraps Filming

Principal photography on Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew has officially concluded in London, following a 6-month shoot which started back in August.

Filming had initially been scheduled to start in July and conclude by December, however a short delay at the start of production ended up pushing the schedule back by a month.

Overall, the shoot has spanned three concurrent studio locations — Shepperton, Longcross, and Cardington — and taken in a variety of different real-world filming locations across the cities of London, Manchester and Bradford.

The film now moves into its post-production phase, where the likes of Framestore and Weta are already hard at work on the visual effects, and with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt collaborating together on the score. Other post-production activities are anticipated to take place at Netflix’s facilities in New York, including editing and sound mixing. Whilst the editor for the movie has not yet been confirmed, Greta Gerwig has previously worked with Nick Houy on all three of her previous films.

Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will debut with a two-week IMAX run worldwide beginning November 26, before arriving on Netflix on Christmas Day.

    Interestingly, there is officially 9 months & 26 days left before the finished film is made available to the public (limited release to boot). I look forward to hearing the opinions of Narniawebbers’ on whether or not the final product is worth it in the end (whatever it ends up being). We’ll see. Narnia is returning.

    Do you think we should be getting a book cover tie-in soon? I can’t remember when those were released during the Walden era, but I’m sure HarperCollins will want to get those on the market soon.

    I mean a trailer or poster would be more intersting but it seems Netflix is content on staying silent with no promotion so I’m not banking on that happening anytime soon 😉
