Ava DuVernay is not letting some big projects that have crossed her desk escape her attention. Earlier this month, it was reported that the "Selma" director was being wooed for two projects, an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle‘s "A Wrinkle In Time," and the sci-fi thriller "Intelligent Life," penned by Colin Trevorrow and his "Jurassic World" collaborator Derek Connolly. She didn’t waste a moment signing up to helm for the latter project, and before February is out, she’s inking a deal for the former.
Deadline reports that DuVernay will indeed direct "A Wrinkle In Time." "Frozen" writer and co-director Jennifer Lee has penned the script for the space- and time-spanning adventure. Here’s the book synopsis:
"Intelligent Life" is slated to being production this summer, so it will likely go first, with "A Wrinkle In Time" to follow. Thoughts? Let us know below.
