Disney and Selma director Ava DuVernay are setting Oprah Winfrey to star in A Wrinkle In Time, an adaptation of the 1963 Newbery Medal-winning Madeleine L’Engle fantasy classic novel that has a script by Oscar-winning Frozen writer and co-director Jennifer Lee. Winfrey will play the role of Mrs. Which. The studio is moving quickly to cast the film, with actors including Amy Adams and Kevin Hart chief among those circling. Winfrey is in final negotiations. She starred for DuVernay in Selma and played a role behind the scenes in helping to make the movie happen. Winfrey and DuVernay also co-created and are exec producing the upcoming OWN series Queen Sugar.
This is a big one for Disney Motion Pictures president Sean Bailey and exec Tendo Nagenda, who’s steering the film. A Wrinkle In Time involves a young girl whose government scientist father has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract, which involves being transported to a fifth dimension with mysterious inhabited planets. She takes part in a search for her father and sees some incredible creatures along the way.

I don’t want to see Orca Windbag’s wrinkles or anything else.
They’re going to need more than a wrinkle.
They’re going to need two-lane tunnel.
“A Politically Correct Character Line In The Temporal Continuum, Starring Beard Stedman’s ‘Girlfriend’ Harpo Windbag”
“I don’t want to see Orca Windbag’s wrinkles or anything else.”
IIRC, Mrs. Which was the weirdest of the characters.
Unfortunately for Big Media and the NWO freaks, the book took a dim view of a tightly controlled, low diversity population.
I won’t put any money into the movie, but will check out the reviews to see how badly Disney mangles the plot.
“It was a dark and stormy night.”
She’s the oppressed bonbon queen.
Anyway, an Oprah haiku:
That fat ass wind bag is so irrelevant.
Whale Lives Matter, no doubt.
This fat a$$ would be better served playing the whale in the re-make of “Free Willy”.
Fat people have fewer wrinkles ,,,, 0pra has lost more than 3 tons of fat in her lifetime and gained it all back .
I have seen her tesseract before, not impressed.
Meg and the whole Murray family are now “mixed-race.” They’re looking for a black to play red-haired Calvin. What’s next? Will they make him a homo with an eye for Charles Wallace?
An article in Forbes suggested there will be a sickening force-feeding (my take) of “female leads” (pro-feminism) in the “adaptation.”
“Wrinkle” is one of my all-time favorite YA novels. I loved L’Engel’s marvelous send up of the liberal mentality. This movie “adaptation” will mangle the story and its message, twisting it around to mean the opposite of what the author intended, you wait and see (except I do not intend to see it).
I pray that it will be a colossal failure....
