Greta Gerwig to direct Narnia film for Netflix

[quote]No doubt she will add her feminist themes to this beloved classic.

Oh, please.

It's already filled with plenty of femiist themes. Frankly, if she can pull out the religious themes, I'm all for it.

She's getting big. How long before Baumbach turns her in for a younger model?

Women ruin everything! They are SO stupid! Why do we even have them??

I wish Disney had done The Magician's Nephew, because then they could've brought back Tilda Swinton as Jada, the White Witch.

Why do you have a problem with feminism? Are you a Trump voter?

Mmmmmmm ….

I love these books first of all.

I just don’t know how well they translate into film. She might do great, but so much of these books are Bible allegories, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but I just don’t know how you convey that without a lot of voiceover, which sucks in most movies.

The books aren’t really known for feminist themes either. They have a lot of strong female characters (often more virtuous than the men), but I don’t remember them being a man vs woman kind of thing. More the virtuous vs the tempted.

I think people read too much into Susan’s “fate”. I think it was more of an abandonment of faith than anything about being a woman. Lucy, after all, was saved.

Guess we will see.

Jadis, not Jada. I'm embarrassed.

Feminist?? Horrors!

Are you implying she's a... a... a [italic]Libber!?!?[/italic}

Agreed, R2. Is she pregnant or something?

She is as big as a house at the event for BARBIE. And that outfit does her no favors. (Don't blame the trademark Barbie pink, either.)

Emma Mackey IS the White Witch! I've always preferred her to Margot Robbie, even though she's not as good as an actress as her (yet).

But the most interesting part here is that Charli XCX was supposed to get this role, but they dropped her because the bitch can't act, lol.

[quote]Charli XCX was at one point tipped for the role of the White Witch, but that proved to be premature.

This thread proves how many female gashes inhabit and infest Datalounge.

Sooner than you think.

Finally saw Barbie. It had good intentions but was awful.

I find her insufferable. I remember when Ladybird came out she tried to eschew any questions about the fact that the screenplay was very obviously based on her life and her precious teenage fantasy of being a New York intellectual. It was embarrassing.

It will become a female empowerment tale, centered around Lucy's rise to the throne. And, of course, we all know this:

Who will play Queen Edmund?

I’ll take religious themes over feminist themes

Elliot Page

Gerwig will come out as “queer” but she’s a big ol lez

Is she related to that Lens woman people are always posting about?

After Barbie, I will never see another one of her films. It's not the feminism, it's the preciousness and narcissism.

I wish Madonna had made her often talked about Wallis Simpson biography.
