In the book Jadis goes on a rampage terrorizing London, but why might she target the Tower of London? JEWELS! The Tower of London famously guards the royal family’s coronation jewels. In the book Jadis is out on a quest not just for dazzling accessories but for conquest of Earth. What better way to assert her dominion as Jadis, Queen of Earth, than stealing the crown of Queen Elizabeth II? The scene that was shot with Jadis and Digory riding Strawberry in a fervent gallop into the Tower of London raises the stakes of the rampage and has grander cinematic imagery than a smash and grab at a pawn shop.

In a rare move NETFLIX to premiere the new Narnia movie in IMAX on Thanksgiving 2026.

Netflix’s highly anticipated reimagining of The Chronicles of Narnia has begun filming, with a surprising twist: the setting has been updated from the books’ original 1900s to the 1950s. This significant change has a cascade of ramifications, altering the thematic context and even the iconic lamp-post. As set photos and videos leak online, the internet is buzzing with speculation. This article provides a creative first look at what the opening of The Magician’s Nephew might feel like, combining leaked footage and AI-generated imagery with the timeless audio from the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre production.

A key moment from C.S. Lewis’s classic book, The Magician’s Nephew, has been leaked in a new clip from the Netflix movie set. The video, filmed on a London street, shows the villainous Jadis and the horse Strawberry in a pivotal chase scene. However, fans have noticed a significant change: the film appears to be set in the 1950s instead of the book’s 1900s, leading to a major alteration in the scene, with police cars replacing the classic horse-drawn hansom cabs.

Leaked set photos from NETFLIX The Magician’s Nephew reveal a surprising 1950s setting, sparking intense debate among Narnia fans. C.S. Lewis originally placed the story in 1900 Edwardian London, a choice tied to historical, thematic, and theological symbolism.

However, the biggest surprise comes from the set itself, which appears to place the story not in the Victorian era of the book, but in the 1950s.
