A Wrinkle In Time: A First Look

María Cristina García lives in New York with her favorite spouse, her favorite toddler, her favorite cat, and her second-favorite cat.

I am finally sold on perky Reese Witherspoon as sheet-stealing Mrs. Whatsit. Mindy Kaling’s Mrs. Who is epically fierce, and you know she’s got the wisdom of centuries of literature on the tip of her tongue (but where are her glasses???). And Oprah… OPRAH. Oprah.

Mosey on over to Entertainment Weekly for a few more glimpses of the film that will visually define Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless book. They got your Mr. Murry, your…Mr. Murry again, Meg (!) and Calvin… Then make noise until we get us some Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Mrs. Murry.

Okay, going to go put these three badass mystical warriors on my altar now.
