The author of this article clearly has not read enough Lewis.
Greta Gerwig's Narnia Remake Can Bring Justice To 1 Character After 68 Years
I do hope that they will get around to ALL the books, including the Magician's Nephew, the Horse and His Boy, and the Last Battle, but I certainly hope that the Magician's Nephew is not put first.
