Writer of Disney's 'A Wrinkle in Time' Ditches Biblical Themes for 'Lots of New Age Content'

The writer of Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time" is defending her decision to remove Christian themes from the movie. She removed references to Jesus and various Biblical passages, from the film adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's popular book by the same name, she says, for a message of inclusiveness.

In an interview with Uproxx, screenwriter Jennifer Lee explained why she decided to remove Biblical references found throughout L'Engle's popular 1962 children's fantasy novel.

"The book is pretty open about its Christian ideals," said Mike Ryan, a senior entertainment writer at Uproxx, while interviewing Lee. "The movie doesn't directly reference them," he noted.
