Abstract

Greta Gerwig, the filmmaker, reflects on her successful year and discusses her upcoming projects in an interview. Her film "Barbie" grossed over $1.4 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman. Gerwig now has the freedom to write her own ticket in the film industry and is currently working on a new adaptation of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia series. She discusses the challenges of working with existing intellectual property and her desire to make movies at every scale. Gerwig's success resonates with audiences, particularly women and girls, but she emphasizes that her work should be appreciated for its quality rather than its gender. She also addresses the issue of sexism in the film industry and her Oscar nominations. Gerwig's next project with Netflix will be set in the world of Narnia, and she is drawn to the dreamlike quality of C.S. Lewis' writing. She believes that movies should be accessible to everyone and that the power to make choices lies within the filmmaker. [Extracted from the article]
