Entertainment Weekly’s union with Comic-Con sees them offer epic teasers of some of Hollywood’s most promising Sci-Fi/ Fantasy releases.
One project we should have our eyes on? Ava DuVernay‘s ‘Wrinkle in Time‘ which stars Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon.
DuVernay had this to say about the project and the character Storm Reid portrays in it:
I saw so much beauty in it, but also so much meaning. She’s a very radical thinker and she embedded her sense of what society should and could be in this piece, and a lot of it I agree with. And through that, the story of this girl saving the world and being out there in the universe slaying the darkness, it also says a lot about slaying our own dragons.
The science/fantasy novel by Madeleine L’Engle, first published in 1963, revolves around a young girl whose father, a government scientist, has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract. Three celestial beings guide her, her brother, and her friend to space in order to find him.
Ready to catch its epic trailer:
Come on Mindy!!
Interesting. Should make for an amazing visual.
Always here for Oprah
Doesn’t look like my cup of tea but Ava is such an awesome director I will have to check it out anyway.
