I can’t believe they are making A Wrinkle in Time movie!!! So excited. It was my favorite book for YEARS as a child. Trailer looks great too!
Yes also my favorite book as a kid too! very excited!
Mine, too!
I’m so happy about this! I 💛 these books so much! I wasn’t sure about Mindy, Oprah, and Reese as Mrs Whatsit, Who, and Which, but the trailer may have convinced me. LOVE the kids cast.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this with my kids!
This looks wildly wonderful … a movie I’m truly looking forward to seeing. That line about darkness traveling faster than light is a bit chilling with a ring of truth to it when you look at the world’s troubles as well as how the universe works. But I don’t know the book.
I tried to read it to my kids but it seemed so old fashioned…I LOVED this as a kid!!! Be the movie is UNReel 🙂
I really want A Wrinkle in Time to be good. The trailer looks promising!
Also–Pink. I mean. I love her. That performance made even my cynical self go “wow!”.
It looks like it’s gonna be a flop
Someone took a nice big gulp of Hater-ade this morning, huh?
Why? Honestly, I’m asking why? If you feel like it won’t sell well, go ahead and tell us your thoughts.
Ruth +1 it looks like Cloud Atlas 2…overwrought and self important. Sorry.
It’s about the battle of good versus evil, with evil on the verge of ‘shadowing’ the whole galaxy. Should it be laid back?
Tracking, how about ridiculous? is that better? Oprah wearing rhinestone eyebrows and a white wig, opining, “beeeeeeee the light.”
um…no.
Fair enough, ann carter. I personally think the costumes and makeup nicely convey their otherworldly nature.
Well hello, Chris Pine.
The best Chris.
The way George Clooney talks about his twins annoys me. He reinforces gender stereotypes in infants behavior? I don’t think so. He says it all the time, too. He’s going to go full southern charm and have giant bows and lace on his daughter and sports and cars for his son.
Now wait, maybe that IS who Georges’ babies are -maybe they DO fit into traditional stereotypical roles. My daughter was always a very stereotypically feminine, delicate, child right from the start (played mommy with stuffed animals, hated getting her hands dirty) and my son from 6 months on would always find the cars and trucks we had from her early years (which she NEVER played with) and play with those, only occasionally interested in the dolls. Ate stink bugs for fun. LOVES BALLS. Despite my TRYING to expose them early to ‘typical’ playthings from both genders. Both of them, however, are sensitive and cautious kids…
Girls and boys are equal, but they can be very different (or similar) and I’m sure some of them, like mine, are exactly like a stereotypical girl or boy would be, even outside of any parental bias. And then there are kids who don’t play into the stereotypical male/female thing. And it’s on a spectrum, but let’s not berate Cloony for this.
So many other things to get pissed at him for.
I have a bigger problem with him using the word ‘thug.’ I really detest that word.
Manson….2017 can have that one.
+1000
Loved the book as a child. I saw the photos earlier this year and wrote it off because the Mrses were so over the top. I still think they look ridiculous but I guess making them do the “homeless tramp” thing (which is how they were outfitted in the book) would be offensive and not translate well for audiences. Their outfits actually work once you see the trailer, and helps convey that they’re magical beings. Also they seem to have brought out the tesseract (sp?) idea to the forefront rather than dumbing the movie down, which makes adds to the “wonder of space travel” thing. But Reese and her nasal voice is just a no-no in any film. Always playing herself.
So so glad you posted the trailer, it looks great! My nine yo (smarty pants) is reading the book for her book club. All of the kids are going to watch the movie when it come out. And, this past weekend we watched a Carl Sagan Youtube video in which he explained what the heck a Tesseract actually is.
One of the very best thing about having children is the ability to revisit your (in my case) happy nerdy childhood.
Why is Gugu Mbatha not in the movie poster? I don’t understand. My only problem with the trailer is that Meg seems too sweet and normal. In the book, I really related to her middle/high school angst. But maybe the trailer just doesn’t give enough info to tell. I’m also a little anxious to see how the casting of Charles Wallace works out. But the aesthetic is gorgeous, and I’m so excited to see this film!
I am all in on this one, the trailers are fantastic. I need to re-read the book before going to see it though, haven’t read it since childhood.
