A Wrinkle in Time releases on March 9, 2018.
Disney, in the biennial expo organised by their official fanclub D23, has released the trailer of A Wrinkle in Time. The film, based on a charming 1963 fantasy novel by Madeleine L’Engle, seems right up Disney’s alley. It stars Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Chris Pine looks like a rollicking fun. Pedants might still doubt Disney will be successful in reproducing the magic of the book on the big screen. But die-hard Disney fans would say otherwise. A Wrinkle in Time’s cast is led by Storm Reid, known for her performance in 12 Years a Slave and Sleight, who stars as Meg Murry, a young girl who travels through time and space to save her father from another planet.
A Wrinkle in Time is a fantasy novel which also has science fiction elements. The first in a series of five novels called Time’s Quintet, the novel is heavy with thematic elements which Disney loves so much: adventure, childhood, teenage angst, and friendship. In the trailer, Meg Murry’s father begins with a haunting voice over, “What if we are here for a reason? What if we are part of something truly divine? Imagine, 91 billion light years traveled like that.” There are also over-the-top makeup that characterises the visual design of nearly all Disney adventure movies.

Unlike Avengers: Infinity War, Disney released the teaser trailer of A Wrinkle on Time online as well. The film will be released on March 9, 2018 in the Unites States.
