Ava DuVernay's upcoming adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time is already generating a lot of interest, and with a cast that includes Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon, that's hardly surprising. And now that the official trailer has been released, it's clear that the movie is not only visually stunning, but full of surprises.
Based on the 1963 novel by Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time follows Meg Murry as she travels through time and space to rescue her father from another planet where he's being held hostage. And as the trailer showcases, DuVernay's impeccable direction brings the novel to life with aplomb.
In August 2016, The LA Times reported that DuVernay is already breaking records with A Wrinkle in Time, for being the first woman of color to direct a movie with a budget over $100 million dollars. Following the success of female-led Wonder Woman, Disney's A Wrinkle in Time is further proof that women can, and should, direct epic action, and science-fiction, movies with strong budgets.
Not due for release until 2018, A Wrinkle in Time is already generating a lot of interest online, and Twitter reactions to the trailer have been legendary. Basically, the world can't wait for this film to come out, and the trailer has only made everyone anticipate its release more.
