I recently found the book at a used book store and I’ve heard good things. Of course they said it will have a “modern twist” and I hate to make assumptions but seeing the showrunner I have no doubt it will be like every other modern adaptation.
Also heard a rumor that an Elric adaptation is in the works, and I’d be shocked if Netflix respects the Narnia source material.
On the bright side, whenever I see that a book or comic is being adapted and the story sounds interesting I just get the source material because an actual adaptation is low on the list of Hollywood priorities
It's pretty much an inevitability at this point. Nobody in Hollywood can write, nobody can direct, and nobody gives a crap, especially about adaptaions.
It's all just checking boxes using material that could entice fans to see movies knowing nothing else about them.
It's so tiring.
Yea that’s true
