The first trailer for Lionsgate’s adaptation of Judy Blume’s beloved young adult classic Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret dropped on Thursday.
Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Benny Safdie star along with newcomer Abby Ryder Fortson in the big-screen take, written and directed by Edge of Seventeen helmer Kelly Fremon Craig. In the two-minute look at the 1970s-set film, Fortson portrays 11-year-old Margaret, uprooted from her New York City home where she’s close to her grandmother, Sylvia (Kathy Bates), and moved to the New Jersey suburbs by her parents, played by McAdams and Safdie.
It’s a tricky adjustment that sees Margaret having to quickly make new friends at a new school — an endeavor that becomes even more complicated by the fact that she’s “going through the messy and tumultuous throes of puberty,” according to the film’s loglines. It’s an awkwardly relatable...
