Although it has barely been a year since the release of “Barbie,” it is already considered one of the most influential films in contemporary cinema. The movie grossed $1.446 billion and achieved numerous milestones, from breaking box office records to receiving critical and academic acclaim.



Its success extended beyond the theaters, sparking essential discussions on topics such as patriarchy, feminism, and existentialism from the moment the first trailer dropped.



For several months, <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/greta-gerwig">Greta Gerwig</a> was at the center of this cultural phenomenon. Recently, she was asked about the possibility of creating a picture focused on Ken, with <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/ryan-gosling">Ryan Gosling</a> reprising his role. Here’s what she had to say.



<h2>Could a Ken movie be next? Greta Gerwig speaks out</h2>



While <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/margot-robbie">Margot Robbie</a> was undoubtedly the standout in “Barbie,” Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken was one of the best male performances of 2023. Fearlessly embracing the darker aspects of patriarchy, Gosling’s work received widespread praise and acclaim.



In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, director Greta Gerwig was asked about the possibility of a Ken-centric picture. She responded somewhat tentatively, ‘I mean, the truth is, you know, I guess we’ll see.’ It looks like there are no concrete plans at this stage.



This question arises partly because, shortly after the release of “Barbie,” Margot Robbie announced that her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, would be working on more product-themed films, such as the upcoming Sims and Monopoly movies. This led to speculation about whether a sequel or a Ken-focused title could be in the works.

However, Margot Robbie clarified that while the idea of a Ken movie hasn’t been ruled out, LuckyChap Entertainment is currently focused on creating new projects with different themes and stories. For now, it appears that Ken’s story has come to a close.

<h2>Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig’s movies together</h2>



Baumbach and Gerwig, who got married in December 2023, have collaborated in several projects. Gerwig starred in “Greenberg” (2010), directed by Baumbach, alongside Ben Stiller. The film was co-written by Baumbach and his then-wife Jennifer Jason Leigh.



Then, the pair co-wrote “Frances Ha” (2012), which Baumbach directed and Gerwig starred. It is one of their, if not their most celebrated films. They repeated the same formula for Mistress America, again co-writing the script, with Gerwig starring and Baumbach directing.

For “White Noise” (2022), Gerwig came back only as an actress in the project. Actually, it was Gerwig who suggested herself for the part of Babette, and Baumbach agreed. “I always listen to what Greta says. She’s an actor who allows herself to be open and so vulnerable. She is hilarious, so it’s fun to see her do comedic things in the earlier parts of the movie,” he told Netflix Queue. Lastly, the two of them co-wrote “Barbie,” which was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2024 Oscars.



<h2>Greta Gerwig will direct The Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix too</h2>



The partnership between the couple and Netflix won’t end with Baumbach’s upcoming film, as <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix/netflixs-the-chronicles-of-narnia-plot-and-start-of-filming-of-greta-gerwigs-movie-20231230-SPEN-478.html">Gerwig is also set to direct new adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia for the streamer</a>. According to reports from World of Reel, the movie could start production later this year.

Noah Baumbach's new Netflix film with Greta Gerwig and George Clooney: Everything we know

The Chronicles of Narnia is not only one of the most acclaimed, well-known, and successful science fiction franchises in the industry, but it has also managed to leave a lasting mark on an entire generation. Always in competition with Harry Potter, the saga succeeded in standing the test of time and even produced three blockbuster films.



Now, Netflix and Greta Gerwig have joined forces to give a fresh start to the story written by C. S. Lewis in 1990. The director of Barbie has rapidly climbed the ranks and achieved a high status, building a career from independent cinema to now collaborating with one of the biggest streaming giants.



Being a favorite of many studios, the filmmaker has opted for a reboot as her next project. The plan is to create three new adaptations with a revamped cast and a substantial budget. While some believe it’s a risky move given the success of the originals, others see it as a great idea.



<h2>What is the new version of The Chronicles of Narnia about?</h2>



The successful, Oscar-winning franchise will begin anew, portraying the original story but with many additional details described in the books that did not make it into the material released by Disney. The first installment will follow four children who travel through a wardrobe to the land of Narnia, where they discover their destiny with the guidance of a mystical lion.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20231230_SPEN_478_The-Chronicles-of-Narnia-1024x576_5bb06417.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="William Moseley, Anna Popplewell and Georgie Henley in The Chronicles of Narnia." class="wp-image-480" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2023/12/The-Chronicles-of-Narnia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2023/12/The-Chronicles-of-Narnia-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2023/12/The-Chronicles-of-Narnia-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2023/12/The-Chronicles-of-Narnia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2023/12/The-Chronicles-of-Narnia.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>William Moseley, Anna Popplewell and Georgie Henley in The Chronicles of Narnia.

The books depict the adventures of children transported to the magical world of Narnia, where they face challenges, discover magical powers, and engage in epic battles between good and evil. Each novel introduces new characters and exciting events, all connected by the central theme of the struggle against dark forces and the pursuit of good and justice.



In the event of multiple installments under the direction of Netflix and Greta Gerwig, the story will continue to expand, covering plots that have not yet been adapted for the big screen, as Disney’s versions only reached “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”.



<h2>When will filming begin on The Chronicles of Narnia?</h2>



The question of whether making new Narnia films will be a great choice or not will be answered in 2024, as that is when Netflix will begin production. The agreement the production company made with the CS Lewis Company is quite substantial, as the streaming giant has committed to producing at least two titles under Gerwig’s direction.



“I haven’t even started to understand it, but it scares me a lot, and that seems like a good starting point to me. I think when I feel fear, it’s always a good sign”, the filmmaker said in an interview with Inside. Matthew Aldrich has been appointed as the “creative architect” to oversee the development, while Mark Gordon, Douglas Gresham and Vincent Sieber will serve as producers.
