Narnia Cast and Crew Remain Tight-Lipped as They Hit the Red Carpet
The cast and crew of Netflix’s Narnia took some well earned time out of their schedules this week to walk the red carpet at the London Film Festival and conduct other promotional engagements across the capital, with filming on ‘The Magician’s Nephew’ now reaching the half-way point.
Greta Gerwig, Emma Mackey, and Daniel Craig were all in attendance at the UK premiere of ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ on Wednesday, with Craig commenting briefly on his “amazing” experience of filming so far, whilst Gerwig and her husband Noah Baumbach were back in action on Friday for the red carpet premiere of their new film ‘Jay Kelly’ at the Royal Festival Hall, though Gerwig seemingly did not speak to the press at either event.
Meanwhile, over in Notting Hill, ‘Narnia’ composer Mark Ronson was busy promoting his new book ‘Night People: How to Be a DJ in 90’s New York City’ where NarniaWeb’s very own Francesco was on the scene to talk to him about his work on the project:
“I’m not allowed to talk about that… honestly, I wish I could… I’ve been a fan since I was four years old… those were my favorite books as a kid, I had the whole set.”
Likewise, Irish actress Denise Gough, who sadly had to cancel an appearance at Comic-Con Holland over the weekend due to scheduling issues, was out on the red carpet for the premiere of her new film ‘H is for Hawk’ on Sunday and was similarly tight-lipped in her response to ScreenDaily’s questioning about her character:
“Absolutely not, I can’t tell you, you know that!”
She was however more forthcoming in her praise for director Greta Gerwig:
“She’s everything you would think that Greta Gerwig is: she’s fantastic, and easy and brilliant, and like, she’s great. She’s a cool, cool, cool, woman.”
Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey also took the time to attend a special screening of ‘Jay Kelly’ last Friday, and may yet be in attendance at the Gala Screening of the new Jennifer Lawrence movie ‘Die My Love’ this coming Friday; a film for which he was also the cinematographer.
Have you seen any of the Narnia cast and crew out in the wild? Send us a spy report and let us know!
On the upside, it is heartening to hear the composer admit that he’s a life-long fan of the [Narnia] books!
I have never had any doubt about the passion, care, and talent behind this film. It’s encouraging to hear of Ronson’s childhood connection.
There may be creative decisions I disagree with, but I would rather a Narnia adaptation with vision than some milquetoast alternative, justified by an accountant for its LOTR/HP/GOT/ETC potential…
It’s been clear right from the start that this whole project will be kept silent. It was the same with Barbie. So none of us is going to know very much at all, until there’s an official trailer. I think Greta really likes to keep her movies like this so people can watch them and enjoy being surprised.
