Director Ava DuVernay has officially announced that her live-action take on Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved 1962 novel A Wrinkle in Time has wrapped filming. The project begun principal photography this past November, with a star-studded cast featuring Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling, among many others.
DuVernay broke the news via Twitter by sharing a few set snaps and several images from the highly anticipated movie, giving us our very first look at some of the child actors such as Reid and her co-star Levi Miller, as well as one of the ensemble’s older members, Andre Holland. You can check them out below.
