When creating the vast worlds in the book-to-film adaptation “A Wrinkle in Time,” director Ava DuVernay didn’t put her focus only on the places that would bring the magical novel to life, but also on the faces of the characters readers have grown to know and love.
In a feature in Time, Reese Witherspoon said that during her 25-year career in Hollywood, she’s “never seen somebody demand inclusiveness like [DuVernay].”
“It’s just a different perspective, and you don’t get that unless we start to have powerful filmmakers of different colors, different genders,” she said. “You’re just gonna have the same 20 dudes making the same 20 movies over and over and over again.”
