1. In case ya missed it, director Ava DuVernay has been hopping around the world recently with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling, and Reese Witherspoon while filming Disney’s upcoming adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time.
2. Winfrey even made the cast and crew margaritas at their New Zealand wrap party, because sometimes the world is full of joy.
3. And when filming wrapped a few days ago, DuVernay posted a bunch of set photos to Twitter that pretty much make Wrinkle a must-see when it comes out in 2018.
