A Wrinkle in Time might be beloved, but its filmed adaptations haven't gotten much love from The Hollywood Reporter.
Critic Todd McCarthy offers a less-than-glowing opinion of the new Disney version directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Oprah Winfrey (see page 89). But his review is sparkling compared to the shellacking the 2004 TV movie received from Ray Richmond. If a critic notes in his opening sentence that he's "a huge fan" of the original work, watch out.

As if you didn't already think Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling were ethereal beings, they had to go ahead and straight up stun in Time.
Along with their A Wrinkle in Time co-star Storm Reid, the trio graced the cover of the magazine's latest issue in what are destined to become iconic photos. All four were photographed wearing black shirts and pink lipstick, their hair slicked back as they stared thoughtfully into the beyond.
The film's director, Ava DuVernay, was all about it, tweeting, "I can't even... It's just too beautiful."

Ava DuVernay didn't read Madeleine L'Engle's 1962 novel A Wrinkle in Time as a young girl. But, when she agreed to direct the $100 million movie for Disney, she had some stipulations. Chief among them: The director wanted to hire a diverse cast of characters. "I wasn't just casting for actresses," she says in the current issue of Time. "I was casting for leaders—icons." And did she ever. Mindy Kaling, Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon were cast as Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit, respectively, while Rowan Blanchard, Zach Galifianakis, André Holland, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Deric McCabe, Levi Miller, Michael Peña and Chris Pine round out the star-studded cast.

Looking ahead at 2018, it's going to be another exciting, spectacular year for the science fiction genre. With a few weeks to go until the New Year, Looper put out a video previewing some of the most anticipated sci-fi movies opening in 2018. They call the video "Sci Fi Movies That Will Completely Blow You Away In 2018," though that's some epic hype. I'm just happy to see this much sci-fi, it means the genre is truly in a new era of brilliance with so many boundary-pushing films on the horizon. The video profiles most of the major sci-fi movies coming out in 2018, like The Predator, Ready Player One, Annihilation, and A Wrinkle in Time, but misses one big one - the Cloverfield movie, currently set for February 2nd though that might change. This is a good video to watch to get you in the mood for some awesome movies to anticipate in...

Disney just dropped the official trailer for A Wrinkle In Time during tonight's 2017 American Music Awards and it looks out of this world! Ava DuVernay's adaptation is based on the Madeleine L'Engle book from 1962 and deals with the consequences of inter-space travel, specifically from Earth to a planet that possesses all the evil and darkness in the world. As seen in the center of the poster, Dr. Alex Murry, played by Chris Pine, discovers a way to travel to a new planet he discovers. Unfortunately, this move opens the floodgates of travel and the planet's darkness begins to spread freely throughout the universe. Dr. Murry's kids, Meg (Storm Reed) and Charles (Deric...

Disney is flexing its muscles in the marketplace. The studio is not only launching a streaming site to compete with Netflix, but demanding from domestic exhibitors a firm 65 per cent aggregate film rental –the percentage of ticket sales that theaters return to studios– for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” This is yet another sign of the top-ranked studio’s confidence and assertiveness.
There’s reason for cock-of-the-walk status. Over the last two holiday seasons, Disney’s first two reboots in the “Star Wars” franchise amassed nearly $1.5 billion in domestic gross, in both cases the biggest release of their respective years (on the all-time adjusted charts, #11 and 57).
Disney’s bold move is underscores its proximity to becoming more powerful than any studio in the history of Hollywood. And it comes as their successful brand label strategy looks impossible to replicate for the foreseeable future.

The events of the last several weeks, while horrible, raise several issues that affect us not only as citizens, but as creative people and fans of the popular arts.
How do we respond to racism and other forms of bigotry in our government. Do we cooperate and try to change the minds of the people in power? Do we quit and make a statement? Do we resist? Do we perform non-violent acts of civil disobedience and fill the jails?
In my life, I’ve advocated (and disagreed with) all of these things. Different times in my life, different circumstances, different perspectives. Therefore, I hesitate to call out people who make different choices than I do, as long as we share the goals of a fair and just, egalitarian, non-hateful non-violent society.

For some time, director Ava DuVernay and Disney have been hard at work at adapting the classic Madeleine L'Engle novel A Wrinkle in Time for the big screen. Yes, it’s an all too familiar tale that’s been adapted several times before, but make no mistake, this is undoubtedly the most high profile adaptation yet. As such, it has a budget to match it, and from what we can tell, it certainly shows quite a bit.
Between the bright colors, A-list talent, and vibrant imagery, DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time looks like it may be quite the crowd pleaser.

Chicago – The 44th edition of the Non-Equity Jeff Awards were given out on June 5th, 2017, at what insiders call “the theater prom.” The event honors the non-union smaller or “storefront” theater companies, and their efforts to produce quality stage work. Hosted in grand style by Alexis Roston and Lillian Castillo, the recipients of the top play was “At the Table” by the Broken Nose Theatre and top musical was “High Fidelity” by the Refuge Theatre Project.
The night was a raucous affair at Chicago’s Anthenaum Theatre, as the hosts kept the party going between recognitions. Excerpts (Plays) and songs (Musicals) were presented for each of the top ten nominated shows. A Special Award for Theatrical and Charitable Contributions was given to David Cerda, acknowledging his long career and (as the inscription on the award said) thanking him “… for ‘Dragging’ the Chicago Theatre world into your ‘Hell in a Handbag’ with humor,...

Harry Potter, Pirates Of The Caribbean, even The Exorcist: they're four-quadrant movies. But what does that even mean...?
The summer of 1990 was a good one for blockbuster cinema. Notwithstanding the fact that Dick Tracy and Gremlins 2 didn’t get the expected financial returns – and in the latter case, that’s a scandal – it saw the emergence, for one, of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a bona-fide movie star. He finally reached the top off the back of an 18-rated science fiction Philip K Dick adaptation, Total Recall. In a summer laden with hits, it was one of the biggest.
The film was one of the top ten of the year overall too, notable in particular now because it targeted adults, and was a hard science fiction blockbuster. Other films in that top 10? The tense Jack Ryan feature, The Hunt For Red October. There was Pretty Woman, an R-rated romantic comedy with sinister undertones.

2018 is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest year for superhero movies to date as Fox has added three Marvel movies to their schedule. While we’ve known for a while that something would be coming from them next year, this announcement still came as a big surprise!
First up is Josh Boone’s New Mutants on April 13th, 2018. In a stacked year, that will square off with a currently untitled Universal Classic Monsters Movie and will have to contend with Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time during its second week. Dwayne Johnson’s Rampage opens on the 20th, so that could really hurt this movie at the box office.
Deadpool 2 is coming on June 1st, 2018 and while the first movie exceeded expectations, this one could suffer despite having nothing opening opposite it right now. That’s because Han Solo is on the way the week...

A delayed start to Tuesday night’s Disney presentation meant distribution chief Dave Hollis raced through the studio’s upcoming slate before the Colosseum audience settled down to watch Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Hollis hailed once again the studio’s remarkable 2016 at the box office that generated $7.6bn worldwide and delivered four films on more than $1bn each.
The executive noted this was the year when for the first time Disney released a film from each of its divisions: Marvel Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disney, Pixar and Lucasfilm.
Turning to the pipeline for the next few years, he revealed that Jane Lynch and Jack McBrayer have joined John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman on Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2.

... Now this is a party we wish we could've attended!
It's already been established that Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon are basically having the best time ever shooting their rendition of A Wrinkle in Time in New Zealand, but on Wednesday, they took things to a whole new level at the wrap party. Director Ava DuVernay posted video of Winfrey getting behind the bar and making margaritas on her Instagram Stories, and the 63-year-old legendary media mogul is clearly pretty great at it!
"This is how we do it!" DuVernay joked as Winfrey blended up and poured the delicious-looking drinks.

Much like The Force Awakens before it, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has been partially shot in IMAX.
Two years ago, J.J. Abrams utilized the large-screen format while filming scenes in Abu Dhabi, as he set about crafting the origin story of Rey, along with that Millennium Falcon chase sequence that had viewers perched on the edge of their seats. Little is currently known about how director Rian Johnson will incorporate his own IMAX sequences into The Last Jedi, but let’s not forget that the director hauled an IMAX camera to Skellig Michael, the Irish isle that doubles as the First Jedi Temple, so a scene involving Luke and Rey is almost a forgone conclusion. Either way, rest assured that Disney’s Episode VIII will take advantage of the exclusive aspect ratio and increased image quality that IMAX affords.

Twenty-two film projects, including Warner Bros.’ A Star Is Born remake starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, have been selected to receive tax credits under California’s Film & Television Tax Credit Program 2.0.
The list includes one so-called big-budget film, an untitled Paramount project, which would have been ineligible under the state’s first-generation tax credit program, which excluded projects with budgets greater than $75 million.
In contrast, Program 2.0 is open to film projects with any budget (though credits are capped to each project’s first $100 million in qualified spending). It joins Disney’s previously announced A Wrinkle in Time as...

I still haven't read all of Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal-winning book A Wrinkle in Time, but I'm very excited to see what Selma and 13th director Ava DuVernay does with Disney's upcoming big budget film adaptation. The story follows a young girl named Meg (Storm Reid), her little brother, and her friend who go on a search for her missing father, a government scientist who was working on a top secret project involving an inter-dimensional tesseract. Joining the trio on their journey are three supernatural beings: Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), and Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon).
Variety reports that Gugu Mbatha-Raw has joined the cast and she'll be playing Dr. Murry, Meg's mother and a scientist, who, along with Meg's father, discovers the wrinkle in time. DuVernay took to Twitter to confirm the news:
"Don't hope it was a dream." Thrilled to confirm that Gugu Mbatha-Raw has joined #TeamWrinkle as Dr.

After passing on Black Panther, Selma director Ava DuVernay ended up deciding to work with Disney directing a film adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal-winning book A Wrinkle in Time. She's already cast her Selma actress Oprah Winfrey in a supporting role, and now THR reports that Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are in negotiations to take two other supporting parts that would round out a trio of characters from the book.
A Wrinkle in Time is about a young girl, her younger brother, and her friend who go on a search for her missing father, a government scientist who was working on a top secret project involving an inter-dimensional tesseract. Joining the girl on her journey are three supernatural beings: Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Whatsit. THR has the breakdown for casting each of these parts:

It looks like Disney's adaptation of the classic children's book A Wrinkle in Time is getting all the right people for the job. Back in February, we reported that Selma director Ava DuVernay had officially signed on to direct the adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's book, and that the script would be coming from Frozen co-writer Jennifer Lee. That news alone -- along with Disney's current streak of child-friendly films -- is enough to inspire confidence that this will be a worthwhile experience, but now THR is reporting that actresses Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are in talks to join the film.
According to the outlet, Witherspoon and Kaling would be taking on the roles of "former celestial being" Mrs. Whatsit and the "literature-quoting" Mrs. Who. The pair would be joining Oprah Winfrey, who is already on board to play Mrs. Which.

Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle In Time may have locked down its three “witches,” with Variety reporting that Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are both in talks for the galaxy-spanning Disney film. Kaling will reportedly play Mrs. Who, offering guidance to Madeleine L’Engle’s time-tossed, tesseractin’ protagonists in the form of an endless string of multi-lingual quotes, while Witherspoon will play Mrs. Whatsit, a mysterious old woman who’s eventually revealed to be a kind of radiant angelic horse. (Witherspoon’s part was played by Alfre Woodard in the 2003 TV-movie version of L’Engle’s beloved book.)
The duo will join Oprah Winfrey’s Mrs. Which in giving guidance, protection, and direction to Calvin O’Keefe and Meg and Charles Wallace Murray’s quest to rescue the Murrays’ missing father.
