Panchecco 17,634 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 EW has an exclusive first look at the film "A Wrinkle in Time"; Disney’s upcoming fantasy epic about an ordinary teenager named Meg (newcomer Storm Reid) who’s whisked on a cosmic adventure to find her missing scientist father (Chris Pine) with the help of three chimerical celestial beings who help her “wrinkle” time and space: philosophizing Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), inquisitive Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), and wizened Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey). Director Ava DuVernay, fresh off of heavy projects like the civil rights drama Selma and her criminal-justice exposé 13th, was drawn to dabble in uncharted sci-fi territory upon discovering author Madeline L’Engle’s novel as an adult. DuVernay hadn’t read the novel — “I went to school in Compton and it wasn’t on my reading list,” she jokes — but the director, for whom time and energy on any project is a precious investment to say something, was impressed with the progressive ideas that L’Engle buried in her beloved 1962 novel. “I saw so much beauty in it, but also so much meaning. She’s a very radical thinker and she embedded her sense of what society should and could be in this piece, and a lot of it I agree with,” says DuVernay. “And through that, the story of this girl saving the world and being out there in the universe slaying the darkness, it also says a lot about slaying our own dragons. read more: http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/12/a-wrinkle-in-time-first-look-oprah-reese-witherspoon-mindy-kaling/ the movie is set to be released on March 9, 2018 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I personally never heard of this novel/story but this cast is so good that it got me intrigued immediately..

Kermit 15,807 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This is giving me that late 90's/early 2000's Disney original movie feel and I actually kinda like it. “For me, insanity is super sanity.

Glittertinks 12,465 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I didn't know the book and was always confused when people were hyping it But the story sounds interesting and the first pictures look really amazing - looking forward to seeing more (and I also think the cast is phenomenal, Reese? Mindy? Chris? Oprah? Sold.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,885 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm so excited for this! This is one of my all-time favorite books! The made-for-TV movie that came out a few years ago was awful, so I'm hoping this new version really embraces the novel and makes the most if it!

Dayman 6,179 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Oprah looks terrible. Who designed that costume? She looks like a drag queen, not a "celestial being" in a big budget major film release... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
