Following the success of her 2014 film "Selma", director Ava DuVernay certainly had a variety of options in front of her. A while ago, she was considered to direct Marvel's "Black Panther", but she ultimately passed on the project. Recently, she's been considered to take on the Dreamworks thriller "Intelligent Life" and "A Wrinkle In Time", an adaptation of the Madeleine D'Engle's classic children's book of the same name. Now Deadline is reporting that the director has officially been hired by Disney to take on the adaptation "A Wrinkle In Time", whose script was written by "Frozen" writer and co-director Jennifer Lee. This puts an end to the apparently six months of courtship by Disney, and is a great step toward diversity in Hollywood. [hit the jump to continue]
