Carey Mulligan on “Secretive” Narnia Production
Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation of The Magician’s Nephew hits IMAX screens in 7 months, but only a handful of details have leaked. Yesterday The Today Show, Carey Mulligan acknowledged the secrecy surrounding the project.
Host: You have a movie coming out soon–The Chronicles of Narnia. Can you tell me anything about that?
Mulligan: No [laughs]. I am almost afraid to say that I’m in it. It’s terrifying. I’ve never been in anything that’s been this secretive. It’s quite thrilling.
Mulligan is believed to be playing the role of Digory’s mother in the movie. Here is everything we know about Netflix’s Narnia.
Hey, it’s only 222 days until everything is revealed!
Vogue had conversation with Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep with The Devil Wears Prada 2, where Greta Gerwig was the moderator. Here the part related to Narnia:
Gerwig: When we had a wrap party for Narnia, I realized nobody wanted me there. I was like, Nobody can have any fun as long as I’m there.
Wintour: I know that feeling.
Gerwig: So when I embraced the last crying child, who was sad that the movie was over, I was like, “I’m going to take myself home.” And I almost felt like, as I walked out the door, everyone was like, “Yay.”
Wintour: The art of the drop-by is also good. You go for five minutes and head for the hills.
Gerwig: You want to tell us the plot of the movie?
Streep: That’s, like, the last thing I ever remember about a movie. I am the best audience for my own movies because I never remember what happened.

I didn’t think anything was going to be released before or during CinemaCon, because it would aggravate theatre owners, who would more easily band together against a Netflix film taking up imax space in one of the most lucrative times of the year against actual theatrical films and distributors that are sworn to theatrical. Now that it has passed and it has been 11 weeks 1 day since filming wrapped ( directors edit should take up approx 12 weeks), with the next IMAX investors call on April 30 and Cannes Film Festival taking place from May 12 to 23 and the new Vanity Fair issue has not been released (little women first look came on June 19 Frankenstein on July 29 in Vanity Fair first looks) and judging from the IMAX release calendar, the Narnia trailer would most likely play on the Mandalorian and Grogu film( May 22-filmed in IMAX but has a smaller audience) or Toy Story ( June 19- not filmed in IMAX but has a bigger audience), last year the Netflix tudum took place on June 1 where Frankenstein trailer was dropped too.
Hence, i would suspect something(not something big) to come before the month ends
