Chris Pine will star in Disney’s Ava DuVernay-directed “A Wrinkle in Time”, says Deadline.
The “Star Trek” alum plays Mr. Murray, husband to Dr. Kate Murray (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), microbiologist and mother to main character Meg Murray played by Storm Reid.
The film is expected to lens before the end of the year, in Los Angeles.
A Wrinkle In Time involves a young girl whose government scientist father (aka Pine) has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract, which involves being transported to a fifth dimension with mysterious inhabited planets. She takes part in a search for her father and sees some incredible creatures along the way.
Amongst the film’s illustrious co-stars, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling.
