What happens

A Wrinkle in Time is a 2018 American science fantasy adventure film directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Jennifer Lee and Jeff Stockwell, based on the 1962 novel. The film follows a young girl and her adoptive younger brother who, with the help of three astral travelers, sets off on a quest to find their missing father. The film stars Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peña, Zach Galifianakis, and Chris Pine. It is Disney's second film adaptation of L'Engle's novel, following the 2003 television film. Development began in late 2010, with Stockwell writing the first draft of the script, and Lee joining to rewrite it four years later. DuVernay signed on to direct in early 2016. Principal photography began on November 2, 2016, in Los Angeles, California. Near the end of filming, production moved to New Zealand, where photography ended on February 25, 2017. With an estimated production budget of $103 million, the film became the first $100-million-budget live-action film to be directed by an African-American woman. Ramin Djawadi composed and conducted the film's score. A Wrinkle in Time premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on February 26, 2018, and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 9. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, with a reported loss of $130.6 million at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
