is
all
set

of

Million

The

-
A
Wrinkle
In
Time,
which
will

fame
film-maker
Ava

is
among

fortunate

and
Film
Tax
Credit
program.
The
program
had
been
revised
back
last
in
2015.
"A

Time
will
bring
$85
million
in
qualified
spending
to
California," said
a
state
official.
A

in
Time,
is
assumed
to
be

It

a

adventure
story
from
the

novel
bearing

written
by

The
story
reveals

sets
voyage
to
find
her
lost
father
and
the
adventures
she
make.
Oprah

will
star
in
this
movie
adaptation
of
the
novel.
The
script
will
be
managed
by
Frozen
fame
writer
Jennifer
Lee.
"We
considered
several
other
locations,
but
felt
that
the
spectacular
landscapes
and
intimate,
real
settings
found
in
California
perfectly
met
Ava
DuVernay's
directorial
vision,"
said
producer
Whitaker
on
finalizing
the
location
of
the
movie.
