DuVernay directed A Wrinkle in Time from a script by Jennifer Lee (Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph). In addition to those listed above, the film stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Meg's mother Dr. Kate Murray, Disney become the studio with the most projects directed by women.
As showcased in the new trailer for A Wrinkle in Time, DuVernay has adapted L'Engle's source material into a wildly colorful movie full of trippy visuals and fantastical creatures. Plus, we get to see more of the characters - and, in the case of Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Who, more of their mesmerizing wardrobes - particularly the warrior at the center of the film. Reid's Meg is the central hero of the story, as she ventures on the journey to save her father by way of the fifth dimension, and she's given the opportunity to shine in this second trailer for the movie.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Disney and DuVernay will have a hit on their hands when A Wrinkle in Time hits theaters early next year. But with that said, the trailers for the film have teased an altogether different kind of sci-fi/fantasy adventure. And with the Summer 2017 box office struggling under the weight of too many sequels, a movie as wholly unique as A Wrinkle in Time could certainly prove to a blockbuster in the most literal sense. For fans excited to see DuVernay's take on L'Engle's novel, there's only a few months left until A Wrinkle in Time is released.
