A WRINKLE IN TIME has been released in theaters this weekend. We did not get a chance to see it yet, though. We received four passes to attend the movie while we were at Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I also saw an extended preview of the film and I am looking forward to seeing the rest. I know I read the book years ago but I don’t remember it very well. I don’t think I’ll be able to re-read the book before we get to see the movie. Maybe seeing the movie will make me even more interested in reading this book again with the kids.
I have a clip from the movie to share with you. In this clip we are introduced to Reese Witherspoon’s character Mrs. Whatsit. Below that I also got some character posters to share with you.
“Mrs. Whatsit” clip:
Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg’s younger brother, Charles Wallace, but she has yet to realize it for herself. Complicating matters is the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her mother broken-hearted. Charles Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and together they
embark on their formidable quest. Travelling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the Universe.
