One of my all time favorite children’s books was A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle. During my childhood, I read it over and over again, about a dozen times. I was captivated by the time travel theme and the story of a young girl using science to search for her father across the universe. Now, as Disney releases its brand new trailer for the 2018 A Wrinkle In Time movie, it has all the characteristics I would hope to see in the screen adaptation of the book, and I anticipate that the full movie will as well.

Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time Trailer
One of my favorite parts of the brand new A Wrinkle In Time trailer is the captivating visuals. To show travel across the universe, the filmmakers really had to capture the essence of the book, and so far, their attempt in doing so looks successful. Check out the trailer to see for yourself.
One reason I predict this movie will be a success is the incredible acting talent. In A Wrinkle In Time, you can see Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bellamy Young, Mindy Kaling, Oprah Winfrey, Levi Miller, and Zach Galifianakis. Meg Murray is played by Storm Reid. The trailer also shows the fantasy, space-inspired costumes and makeup that will make this an interesting movie to watch.
The movie was filmed in Los Angeles and other cities in California as well as in New Zealand. It was directed by Ava DuVernay.

The Book A Wrinkle In Time
If you haven’t read the book, I highly suggest reading it first. One of my favorite memories of reading as a child was delving into the world of Meg Murray in her search for her father among the stars and the planets. I look forward to sharing the book with my children before we watch the movie. Also, if you enjoy the book A Wrinkle In Time, you should check out the sequels by Madeline L’Engle, which include A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters and An Acceptable Time.
