Director Greta Gerwig adapted C.S. Lewis's unfinished 1955 novel The Magician's Nephew for Netflix, channeling 1960s David Bowie's aesthetic in the trailer set to 'Stairway to Heaven.' The film follows the first book's protagonist as he seeks to find the answer to a London lamppost mystery, though Lewis never completed the book. This adaptation follows the expiration of the original film franchise's rights in 2011, making it the first new adaptation of the series since the early 2000s films.
