Had a great time at the #Narnia trailer event earlier today, featuring a wonderful conversation between Greta Gerwig and Stephen Colbert. Gerwig always speaks so beautifully and passionately about cinema. She talked about how the Narnia books helped shape who she is, and how C.S. Lewis’s autobiography “Surprised by Joy” became a major inspiration for her approach to the material. Love that she shot on film, and especially loved the way Gerwig connected the communal experience of practicing faith with the ritual of going to the movies. Both are about gathering together, sharing something meaningful and feeling connected to something larger than ourselves. One of my favorite stories was how Gerwig landed “Stairway to Heaven,” a notoriously difficult song to license for a film. She met directly with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, and it was their shared appreciation for C.S. Lewis’s work that ultimately helped her secure the song, which plays such a defining role in the first trailer. (I’m also a sucker for a good hat, and this is a good hat!)
