All about Narnia: The Magician's Nephew
For the unversed, Narnia: The Magician's Nephew is based on the 1955 novel of the same name in the children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. It will be the fourth film adaptation based on The Chronicles of Narnia series of novels, following a trilogy of films released: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008) and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010).
As per the book, The Magician's Nephew, it is a prequel to the series. The middle third of the novel features the creation of the Narnia world by Aslan the lion, centred on a section of a lamppost brought by accidental observers from London in 1900.

The visitors then participate in the beginning of Narnia's history, 1000 years before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (which inaugurated the series in 1950). Thus, the novel shows Narnia and our middle-aged world to be only two of many in a multiverse, which changes as some worlds begin and others end. It also explains the origin of foreign elements in Narnia, not only the lamppost but also the White Witch and a human king and queen.
