Watch Narnia Magician's Nephew Trailer; Greta Gerwig on Making Movie

The first trailer for Greta Gerwig's Narnia film has dropped, set to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven after the band gave rare permission.

Watch the trailer for Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia: The Magician's Nephew,' which Greta Gerwig debuted at a Stephen Colbert Q&A, talking about making movie.

The Long Sip
What happened

Netflix debuted the first trailer for Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew at an IMAX event in New York, with Gerwig in conversation with Stephen Colbert.

The detail

The trailer uses Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, a rare licence the band granted after Gerwig screened the film for Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.

And then

Gerwig said she was tearing up watching the trailer with an audience, and that she only ever makes films designed for the biggest screen possible.

What readers are saying

trev1986
Led Zeppelin licensing is notoriously difficult, so getting Stairway to Heaven for the sync indicates the band members saw an early cut and approved it directly.

It is interesting that the premiere took place at the IMAX in New York before the wide theatrical run in February. The choice to release it in cinemas for forty-nine days before streaming shows a strong commitment to the big screen experience.
