Given that your last two suggested changes were ‘“Yeah,” Said Strike’ and ‘her bright orange, tan’, no, Copilot, I will not require your assistance to draft this paragraph.
When C.S. Lewis finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, he realized something heartbreaking: the little girl he had written it for had grown up...
Her name was Lucy Barfield: she was his goddaughter, the daughter of his close friend Owen Barfield, and she gave her name to the bravest child in Narnia, Lucy Pevensie.
In May 1949, Lewis sent her the finished manuscript with a letter, and when the book came out the following year, that letter was printed on its first page.
He told her he had written the story for her, but hadn’t realized that "girls grow quicker than books." By now, he admitted, "you are already too old for fairy tales." And then he made her a promise: "some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
Greta Gerwig is spending $280 million on a Narnia movie where the biggest spectacle is a world being born. Most blockbusters that expensive spend the money blowing one up. 😭
C.S. Lewis had Aslan sing Narnia into existence, and Gerwig personally approached Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to secure “Stairway to Heaven.”
She’s making music central to the creation of an entire universe. That soundtrack has some serious expectations to live up to.
"have you ever seen a world born?" Aslan being shown made of stars and exploding into being with a roar creating life in Narnia, a universe being made... loved this so much can't wait to see the whole sequence.
