According to Deadline, the Selma director is joining forces with Frozen writer/co-director Jennifer Lee to bring the Madeleine L'Engle 1963 fantasy novel to the big screen. The film will follow a teenage heroine who embarks on an adventure to find her father, a government scientist, who mysteriously vanishes.
