The Long Road to the 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' Movie.

After more than 50 years since the book's publication, the movie adaptation of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" is finally hitting theaters. Director Kelly Fremon Craig wrote to author Judy Blume expressing her interest in adapting the book, and with the support of producer James L. Brooks, the project was greenlit. The pressure was on to do justice to the beloved novel, which explores the experiences of an 11-year-old girl going through adolescence. The film stars Rachel McAdams and arrives in theaters on April 28.

Judy Blume Takes a Risk with Hollywood for 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' Film Adaptation

James L. Brooks and Kelly Fremon Craig, the producer and writer/director of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," made a pilgrimage to Judy Blume's home to secure the film rights. The filmmakers were clear that they weren't interested in modernizing the story, which depicts the challenges of puberty, and cast Abby Ryder Fortson for the title role. Brooks believes the movie offers an overlooked perspective on the rocky transition into young adulthood and is developing a new script that he expects to be in pre-production this fall.

'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' Film Adaptation Receives Rave Reviews

The movie adaptation of Judy Blume's iconic coming-of-age book, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, is a rip-roaring, funny, and wonderful studio comedy that perfectly captures the essence of the book. The film is set in the early '70s, and it serves as pure nostalgia to see kids growing up in an era without cell phones, social media, apps, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. The cast is perfect, and the movie gets a lot of mileage out of simple things like going to buy that first bra or heading to summer camp.
