10 Upcoming Movie Reboots Literally Nobody Is Asking For

10. The Chronicles of Narnia

When a slew of literary adaptations were green-lit in the wake of Harry Potter's success, most of them fell at the first hurdle, but for a while it looked like The Chronicles of Narnia might have been able to stick it out. The Lion the Witch and the Wardbrobe made almost $750m at the box office and went on to spawn two sequels, before the franchise just sort of fizzled out after 2010's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Fourth installment The Silver Chair was in the works for a while but never made it out of development hell, before it was announced in October 2018 that Netflix had purchased the rights to the series with the intention of creating both movies and TV shows based on the source material.

While Netflix have proven to be more than capable of dabbling in the fantasy realm, and they certainly have the endless cash reserves necessary to bring the world to life, nobody outside of the core fanbase has ever seemed particularly interested in the continued adventures of the Pevensie children.

The takings between the first and second movies dropped by over $300m despite being released just eighteen months apart, with reviews getting progressively worse, and while modern internet culture is rife with demands and petitions to reboot and resurrect dormant properties, The Chronicles of Narnia has never been one of them.
