Last week, NarniaWeb received a tip that Andrew Weisblum<\/a> will serve as an editor on Greta Gerwig\u2019s upcoming adaptation of The Magician\u2019s Nephew.<\/p>\n Weisblum is a frequent collaborator with Darren Aronofsky and Wes Anderson. His past credits include: <\/p>\n Caught Stealing (2025)<\/p>\n The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)<\/p>\n tick, tick\u2026 BOOM! (2022)*<\/p>\n The Whale (2022)<\/p>\n The French Dispatch (2021)<\/p>\n mother! (2017) <\/p>\n Noah (2014)<\/p>\n Black Swan (2011)*<\/p>\n * Twice he has received Academy Award nominations for Achievement in Film Editing.<\/p>\n Following the report, we identified a photograph taken on the first day of public filming that appears to show Weisblum seated beside Gerwig inside a covered tent near video monitors. Weisblum\u2019s presence was not reported at the time.<\/p>\n While Weisblum has yet to publicly mention Narnia or The Magician\u2019s Nephew (his agent did not respond to a request for comment), he recently discussed his approach to editing adaptations in an interview promoting Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Caught Stealing, based on the novel by Charlie Huston.<\/p>\n I did not read [Caught Stealing]. I thought about it and decided the film is not being made exclusively for people who are aficionados of the book, and I want the story to be clear for people who love the book or people who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n I needed to keep my objectivity as much as possible in reading the script and in communicating what needed to be communicated in the film, not subconsciously rely on information that I had from the book that maybe wasn\u2019t being conveyed in the movie, if that makes sense. It needed to stand alone. The story needed to stand alone.<\/p>\n You know, it\u2019s funny, I\u2019ve worked on a bunch of projects that are based on source materials, some more well-known than others. And right now, I\u2019m working on a film that\u2019s very well, the source material is very well known. Once again, I\u2019m choosing not to refer back to that material because we\u2019re doing our own take on it. You know, we did our own take on that. <\/p>\n I think that\u2019s been true pretty much every time, not to treat any material, even the script, as sacrosanct, because you have to listen to the movie, listen to the footage, listen to the performances, and be open to rewrite or rethink things that aren\u2019t 100% what they need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n Andrew Weisblum, Art of the Cut<\/a><\/p>\n Production on Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew has wrapped in London. Alongside Gerwig and editor Andrew Weisblum, production design was led by James Chinlund<\/a>, cinematography by Seamus McGarvey<\/a>, costume design by Jacqueline Durran<\/a>, and the score by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andrew-and-Greta-e1770445448941-1024x563.png\")
