Judy Blume’s beloved novel, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” is almost ready to hit the big screen. The first trailer was released by Lionsgate on Thursday.
The “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” film is written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, best known for her 2016 feature directorial debut “Edge of Seventeen.” The movie closely follows the plot of the original Blume novel, which focuses on 11 year-old Margaret Simon, a sixth grader who moves with her parents from New York City to the suburb of Farbrook, N.J. A child of an interfaith marriage — between a Jewish father and a Christian mother — Margaret struggles with her relationship to religion, and prays frequently to God despite living in a secular household. The book follows Margaret as she goes on a spiritual journey, while adjusting to her new surroundings and dealing with the onset of puberty.
