The Chronicles of Narnia reboot draws sharp criticisms as fear grows that it departs from traditional Christian themes

Greta Gerwig’s long-awaited Netflix adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia drew sharp criticism and public debate after the director confirmed major creative choices for the first film, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. The project, which shifted the story’s Earth setting to the 1950s and cast Meryl Streep to voice Aslan, prompted questions about how closely it would follow Lewis’s Christian framework, which is integral to the story.
