Director Ava DuVernay has tweeted ten videos from "A Wrinkle in Time" filming set. All of them are captioned with same message. "We're making a film about how Light fights The Darkness," writes DuVernay.

Storm Reid, who will play Meg Murry in the movie, is featured climbing down a ladder a la a model in one of the sneek-peeks. Other videos show the film's crew and equipment. The last one features DuVernay with her back facing the camera.

Bellamy Young, one of the cast members, said that "A Wrinkle a Time" would embrace the novel's dark mood. "The book meant the world to me as I was growing up, so just to be a part of it at all was such an honor, but to be a part of Ava's vision of it? She has such thoughtful grace to all her work," said Young to IGN at the 2017 Television Critics Association. "She's kept all the hope but not shied away from the darkness, and I think it's going to be as magical as your own experience of the book," Young added.
