Ahhh I am so excited!! It feels like we’ve been waiting FOREVER for this film to drop.

Now, in case you didn’t hear, Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is getting a film adaptation.

Legendary author Judy Blume was reluctant to surrender the rights to her classic novel for nearly 50 years.

But now, that all has changed.

Back in 2018, when producer James L. Brooks and writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig approached Judy with a pitch that she simply couldn’t turn down.

So now, we all get a movie and we are finally getting a first look at that movie!
