Cinematic adaptations of beloved literary works are a dicey
proposition at best. No matter how good a job filmmakers do, there will forever
be those who decry it as an abomination. I’m normally whatever about these—a good
movie is a good movie, even if it’s based on a book I love and even if it’s
nothing like said book. I’m not hugely invested in Madeleine L’Engle’s
A Wrinkle in Time either way. I read it once as a youngster,
I remember one of my sister’s elementary school classes turning it into a play,
but that’s about it. That said, the trailer for Ava Duverney’s adaptation looks
bonkers and epic and all kinds of rad. Take a look for yourself.
