Last year, I was among the press invited to visit the Los Angeles set of A Wrinkle in Time, the film version of the beloved children’s book by Madeleine L’Engle. The Ava DuVernay-directed film, which opens March 9, is the story of young Meg Murray (Storm Reid) who goes on a magical journey to rescue her father, with help from some supernatural beings along the way.
The book has pretty heavy themes about the concept of goodness vs. evil, and what we can do to change the world. There is also, however, a simple story of love and friendship at its core. We observed a scene being filmed between Reid and Levi Miller, who plays Calvin, where they share their first kiss. The scene was very short, but it gave us a good look at both the poise of two young actors and the way the kids got to joke around between takes. Oprah Winfrey, who plays Mrs. Which, told us that the other actors loved the days they were on set with the kids because they “pumpkin” early, meaning that everyone got to end the day when the kids were legally required to.
