A Wrinkle In Time revolves around a young girl whose father, a government scientist, has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract, which involves being transported to a fifth dimension with mysterious inhabited planets.

I read the book when I was in school and it's been adapted before. It's one of those stories that can probably only be effective in print, though. I don't think modern CGI effects are going to make it work any better in a visual medium.

This is funny. Wikipedia and IMDB only mention a TV movie version done in 2003. I'm almost certain I saw a film version much earlier, though-- like in the '70s or '80s. I think a lot of things get completely lost in age of Internet.

The Time Quintet consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

Will Disney make all 4? I doubt it. Look at their treatment of John Carter. It earned $73,078,100.00 in North America and $211,061,000.00 in other countries, for a worldwide total as of June 28, 2012 of $284,139,100.00. In today's LaLaLand economics it failed.

As to a 3rd movie, there was one that was syndicated from about 1989 or 1990 by RHI Entertainment.

That's got to be the one I'm thinking of. That film seems to be somewhat lost in a "wrinkle in time".
