Lionsgate has released an official trailer for Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. an upcoming adaptation of Judy Blume‘s 1970 novel of the same name. Let’s take a look.
I’ve only read Judy Blume’s Fudge series, but I’ll definitely take a chance on this film. I mean, look at that cast! I think that’s enough to get anyone interested.
Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret stars Abby Ryder Fortson (Ant-Man) as Margaret Simon, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook) as Barbara Simon, Benny Safdie (Licorice Pizza) as Herb Simon, and Kathy Bates (Misery) as Sylvia Simon.
