Disney had released a batch of new images from Ava DuVernay‘s ambitious adaptation of ‘A Wrinkle in Time‘. Although we recently saw the final trailer for the film just last week, these new images give us a great look at the amazing cast, along with some of the mesmerizing visuals that are sure to accompany the film. ‘A Wrinkle in Time‘ is based on the 1962 Madeline L’Engle novel of the same name, and follows a young girl (newcomer Storm Reid) as searches for her missing father (Chris Pine) using some form of inter-dimensional travel.
Even though I’ve never read the source material, the film looks to have a strong hold on mixing such a classic story with DuVernay’s uniques perspective, along with a cast that modernizes the story a bit. There’s something really cool about seeing the filmmakers include such a diverse cast for the film that also includes Oprah Winfrey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Andre Holland, Mindy Kaling, Michae lPeña, Reese Witherspoon, Zach Galifianakis, and Levi Miller. ‘A Wrinkle in Time‘ opens in a few weeks on March 9, 2018. In the meantime, here are the new images, along with the official synopsis for the film below:
From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love. Through one girl’s transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one’s individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one’s own light.
