Kathy Bates Joins Abby Ryder Fortson and Rachel McAdams in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

Kathy Bates has joined Abby Ryder Fortson and Rachel McAdams in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Bates is set to play Margaret’s grandmother Sylvia.

Based on the book by Judy Blume, the story follows Margaret Simon, a sixth grader who is questioning everything about adolescence and puberty, and searching the universe for whatever answers she can find. With her mother and grandmother trying to guide her through a time when everything is changing, they too find that you never stop questioning your path and defining what is meaningful in your life.

Production on the movie will begin this April! A+ casting choice. This book was one of my favorites growing up and she is perfect casting for the part.
