I did not know this was a thing but I fear what Netflix will to with Narnia.

And I just found out a few minutes ago that Netflix is also supposedly making Rendezvous with Rama a thing, involving David Fincher. And quite soon, too, if it's supposed to be released this year.
Anyway, I hope they start with The Magician's Nephew. Sure, it was the last one published, but it's the first chronologically, and explains why the wardrobe, the lamp-post, etc, and also has Aslan flat-out say that Narnia was never intended to have humans in the first place (and kind of knew things would go downhill eventually once they did show up, ha.)
I hate the way they've re-ordered the series to put Magician's Nephew first. There's no reason for it. It's cool going in to the book thinking that you're just getting another Narnia adventure and then discovering that you're actually reading the story of the birth of Narnia itself, and then finally linking it back to the first book.
I can't imagine why they'd rob the reader of that sense of mystery before it even has a chance to develop. It makes no sense.
