Thanks to those who joined us live for our conversation about adaptations, and for those joining us now via recorded podcast. We begin by discussing the recent trailer for The Magician’s Nephew, directed by Greta Gerwig, and some of the discourse around it. Then we zoom out: what makes a successful adaptation? How important is faithfulness to the source material? What are some of our favorite and least favorite adaptations? And how are the gospels themselves adaptations for different audiences.
Here’s the article MaryAnn referenced about a fellow Substacker and his experience listening to Greta Gerwig reflect with Stephen Colbert on the impact C.S. Lewis’s novels had on her as a child.
Join us next Monday, October 26 at 11:30 a.m. EDT, as we share some of our favorite examples of politics in pop culture! Join us here.
And here’s the trailer to The Magician’s Nephew
