Ava DuVernay, who is directing “A Wrinkle In Time” for the Walt Disney Studios announced the wrap of principal production for the film with a series of tweets. The tweets marked the last days of shooting for many of the main cast and crew. They also are some of our first looks at how this movie will shape up.
The story follows the adventures of Meg who is searching for her father, a government scientist, who has gone missing while working on a secret project called a tesseract.
These shots provide a great behind the scenes look at the production:
