First Look at Lamp-post on Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Set?
NarniaWeb has obtained a photo taken on the set of Netflix’s The Magician’s Nephew that includes a blurry look at two lampposts. The image, reportedly taken in October, was photographed on the same large outdoor street set near Longcross Studios — the one we recently linked to the homes of Digory and Polly.
According to planning application documents, filming on this set has spanned a full 30 non-consecutive days and involved hundreds of crew members and extras, suggesting the location was being used for significant scenes.
Given the scale of production here, we suspect portions of the “Fight at the Lamp-Post” sequence were filmed on this street as well. If that is the case, this may be our first look at the lamppost design that Jadis brings to Narnia.
If this is our first glimpse of the lamppost’s design, what do you think about it? Let us know below!
Between the Victorian-era terraced houses and the old fashioned style lampposts, it’s comforting to know that we are still going to see some of the classic aesthetics from the book, in spite of the time period shift.
So cool! I can definitely see it in a snowy Narnia, though it’s a bit more hard to imagine it springing up out of green grass. I wonder how they’re going to handle that? How will the sun reflect off the glass?
Ditto what Icarus commented.
I doubt that is the actual lampost. You can see another one on the left hand side behind that guy’s head. I think it’s just a row of lampposts.
@booger, yes they are multiple Lampposts on the set, but given that they will all be identical, it is somewhat immaterial whether its the exact “one” or not, at least as far as the overall design aesthetic goes.
Definitely a lamppost! Good work set designers 😉
