Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are in negotiations to star in “A Wrinkle in Time”, Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of the classic children’s book by Madeleine L’Engle’s.
According to THR, the Newbery Medal-winning book centers on a young girl who finds herself on an interplanetary journey with a schoolmate and her younger brother to locate her missing father, a scientist. They are aided on their quest by a trio of supernatural beings, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey).
Witherspoon will play Mrs. Whatsit, a former celestial being who looks like a grandmotherly hobo, and Kaling will play the literature-quoting Mrs. Who.
“Frozen” writer and co-director Jennifer Lee penned the script. Jim Whitaker is producing with Catherine Hand.
