Ava DuVernay has made small indies, prestige pictures, and award-winning documentaries. Now, she’s leaping into the blockbuster studio world with Disney‘s “A Wrinkle In Time,” which is aiming to be a springtime sensation.
The adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle‘s beloved and acclaimed novel brings together an eye-popping ensemble — Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peňa, Storm Reid, Zach Galifianakis and Chris Pine — for this magical story of a young girl who embarks on a fantastical quest to find her missing father. Here’s the official synopsis:
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.
“A Wrinkle In Time” opens on March 9th.
