A heroine's journey with Meg, Laura and Sarah

Well, they are again going to try to film a book that was formative to me: one of my absolute favorites from the age of ten on. The trailer just came out, and it looks fairly spectacular in some ways. You can see it here.

Great post! I had no idea there was going to be a CHANGEOVER movie until you posted the trailer here, but it looks great -- Timothy Spall is appropriately creepy and I like the rest of the casting. I hope I'll get a chance to see it.

Yes, the casting looks great, doesn't it? I'm eager to see this one--more so than I am to see "Wrinkle", actually. That was such a formative book for me, and the earlier filming was honestly such a mess, that I can't help but be apprehensive, especially since I recognize nothing from the book except the scene on Camazotz. But "Changeover" really looks excellent.

And I do think all three of these stories are refreshing in that they have genuine young heroines, not ersatz heroes in female form.
