MONROE, N.C. — The official trailer for Lionsgate's feature adaptation of Judy Blume’s classic novel, "Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret" has been officially released.
The film was shot in downtown Monroe back in 2021.
The coming-of-age story was first published in 1970. The film follows Margaret Simon (Abby Ryder Fortson), a sixth-grader who is questioning everything about adolescence and puberty, is searching the universe for whatever answers she can find.
The movie also stars Rachel McAdams as Mother, and the grandmother is played by Kathy Bates.
"This is awesome for our city," Pete Hovanec, Monroe Tourism Director, told WCNC Charlotte during its production back in 2021. "Organized chaos. Everybody knows what they're supposed to be doing. This is one day, so everything you see here filming around us, they're just filming one day."
