the opportunity for fans to suggest names for the Lady of the Green Kirtle, the main antagonist. The winning name was to be selected by Mark Gordon and David Magee for use in the final script of The Silver Chair. The film's producers have called the film a reboot in reference to the fact that the film has a new creative team not associated with those who worked on the previous three films. On 9 August 2016, it was announced that Sony's TriStar Productions and Entertainment One Films will finance and distribute the fourth film with The Mark Gordon Company (which eOne owns) and The C. S. Lewis Company. In April 2017, it was announced that Joe Johnston had been hired to direct The Silver Chair. During an interview with Red Carpet News TV, producer Mark Gordon revealed scarce details about the new technologies and setting that would be used for the upcoming film. Possible Netflix reboot On 3 October 2018, it was announced that Netflix and the C. S. Lewis Company had made a multi-year agreement to develop a new series of film and TV adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia. With this announcement, all previously announced plans for The Silver Chair were superseded. Netflix has stated that its Chronicles of Narnia reboot is still moving forward. Mark Gordon is the primary producer on the project and has stated that there is potential to adapt the books into both a television series and potentially multiple feature films for the streaming service. On June 12, 2019, he hired Coco co-writer Matthew Aldrich to be the creative architect of the Netflix adaptation. Douglas Gresham, one of C.S. Lewis' two stepsons, commented in May 2020 that he was unsure about the future of the project as Netflix had not been in touch for a while, which may have been partly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
