Well, Disney tried--and failed--at adapting the novel to film in 2003, but I understand what you're saying.Avaitor wrote:i remember liking the book as a kid, but it's been so long that I don't really remember it at all.
That said, I'm pretty interested in this one, since it's felt like ions since Disney's committed to a live-action film that isn't a remake of their animated films, a forgettable sports film, or another reminder that they're not great at sci-fi tentpoles. This looks a little different than the latter, and has a great director at the helm, so I'm hopeful.
I also have the impression it won't be too successful, but I don't know how popular the books are. If they are very famous, that will help the movie.Disney's Divinity wrote:The new trailer was nice, but I'm a little scared that with all the promotion Disney's putting into this that it's not going to do as well as they hope.
The book is actually a touch cheesy and I'm not sure if it's as popular with today's youth as people in the past. I'd love to be proven wrong though.D82 wrote: I also have the impression it won't be too successful, but I don't know how popular the books are. If they are very famous, that will help the movie.
I see. Yeah, maybe it isn't as popular as it was before then.Disney's Divinity wrote:The book is actually a touch cheesy and I'm not sure if it's as popular with today's youth as people in the past. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
The movie itself also looks expensive. It has a lot of special effects.Disney's Divinity wrote:I do expect it to pull in some big cash, but with all that Disney must be putting into promoting this movie, the budget must be huge and I don't know if I can see it pulling in the kind of dough they'll want...![]()
I love that too. In fact, it's one of my favorites from the latest Disney film logos. I don't know why, but it reminds me a bit of the Chronicles of Narnia logo, which I also love.Disney's Divinity wrote:Btw, I don't know if I've said before, but I love the way the logo has that slash of light between the n and m of the title.

It’s a quest she isn't ready for: “Meg is very timid and just doesn’t feel like she’s worthy. She doesn’t really have any self-love," Reid says. "She’s doubting herself and obviously very scared — I would be scared, too.” That’s why three colorful travelers are key to Meg’s mission and her blooming confidence: the kind Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), the wise Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) and the grandmotherly Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon). Through the youngster’s journey, Reid adds, “she becomes one with the light in the universe to be able to connect with her father and becomes a better Meg to be able to save the world.”
