Moments ago, Netflix released the official trailer for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, the hotly anticipated adaptation by Greta Gerwig. Based on the C.S. Lewis novel, Gerwig writes and directs. The cast consists of Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, David McKenna, Beatrice Campbell, Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Ciarán Hinds, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Denise Gough, and Susan Wokoma. Netflix will be releasing this one next in theaters, in IMAX, on February 12th.

Dammit.
