Meg (Reid) whose scientist parents discover proof of the wrinkling of time and space. When her father (Pine) goes missing, she sets out on an adventure to find him and ends up encountering three "very unusual" women: Mrs. Whatsit (Witherspoon), Mrs. Who (Kaling, who reveals her riddle- speaking character now quotes Jay- Z) and Mrs. Which (Winfrey). As for what attracted Winfrey to the project, she said, "It is a character who is one of the wisest women in the universe and is an angelic celestial being who is going to get to wear amazing costumes.. D2. 3 was treated to a special teaser trailer (above), and it is hard to describe the beautiful, bizarre visuals within, but oh my goodness, the costumes.

It's the tale of a young girl, Clara (Mackenzie Foy) who receives a music box with a cryptic note that reads, "Everything that you need is inside." With a key nowhere to be found, she must explore the titular four realms "that will lead her to her destiny."

Still, I have a feeling Helen Mirren's wicked Mother Ginger - - and her insane wig - - will be all that we talk about when Nutcracker premieres.
