IMAX held its first Investors Day<\/a> presentation in New York, where CEO Rich Gelfond shared new details about Netflix and Greta Gerwig\u2019s adaptation of The Magician\u2019s Nephew, scheduled for release next November. His most revealing comments centred on the film\u2019s musical direction.<\/p>\n According to Gelfond, Gerwig\u2019s Narnia will feature a contemporary, rock-influenced sound, with artists like Pink Floyd and The Doors cited as examples of the tone fans can expect. The film\u2019s score is being composed by music producer Mark Ronson, who recently worked on Barbie. Producer Amy Pascal made a similar remark in 2024, when she infamously described<\/a> the project as \u201call about rock and roll.\u201d<\/p>\n This is a real blockbuster movie that\u2019s being made for [IMAX and Netflix] and you know, I guess I do have to talk a little about why I\u2019m so excited about it. This is not your mother\u2019s or your grandmother\u2018s Narnia. The music in it is unbelievably contemporary music, which IMAX fans like. I\u2019m not gonna say specifically, but things like Pink Floyd and The Doors. You know that kind of music which people go to see in IMAX.\u201d<\/p>\n Gelfond also highlighted the scale of the production. Attendees at the in-person event were shown a brief clip from Greta Gerwig, and he described visiting the enormous Cardington Studios<\/a> set, where the project is being shot across multiple stages<\/a> and locations.<\/p>\n The movie itself is being filmed at the largest sound stage in Europe. I went on the set where there were hundreds of people and multiple green screens and it\u2019s filmed at multiple locations. You\u2019re gonna see a clip in a second and if you can\u2019t see how passionate Greta is about it, then you\u2019ll have to wait to see the movie to see how awesome it is.\u201d<\/p>\n Gelfond voiced strong confidence in the project overall, saying that Gerwig\u2019s Narnia film \u2014 and IMAX\u2019s partnership with Netflix<\/a> \u2014 is \u201creally going to change the world\u201d and \u201ccreate a cultural event.\u201d<\/p>\n So this is one where, [\u2026] my team has to hold me back. Because I think, as I said before, that it\u2019s really going to change the world. And I know that sounds like a lot of hyperbole, but Greta is making this movie for IMAX, and then fully understands that when word gets out about what this movie is, it\u2019s going to create a cultural event.\u201d<\/p>\n Gelfond also reiterated that The Magician\u2019s Nephew will premiere exclusively<\/a> in IMAX theatres, a decision he credited directly to Gerwig. The 28-day IMAX-only release window has drawn backlash<\/a> from rival studios and exhibitors due to Netflix\u2019s reluctance to adopt traditional theatrical runs.<\/p>\n What do you make of Gelfond\u2019s comments?
