Everything We Know about the Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret Movie So Far
1. Writer and director, Kelly Fremon Craig, of The Edge of Seventeen is set to write and direct this film!
When the Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret movie was announced, Deadline also exclusively revealed that Kelly Fremon Craig was hired on to direct!
2. Lionsgate bought the rights to the film!
Back in March of 2020, which feels like eight years ago now, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Lionsgate won the rights to the film in a heated bidding war, officially green-lighting the film to start pre-production!
3. Filming has begun!!

This is too cute! Loved seeing this BTS pic.
5. Judy Blume is also a producer for the film!
How I spent my week. Glad I brought my UniGlo coat. If you see me unmasked it’s only for a quick pic. We were all masked, tested multiple times a week. #ItsMeMargaret @Lionsgate @SimonTeen pic.twitter.com/bd3ZiTVI64

In the original Deadline announcement, Judy Blume was listed as one of the producers for the film. We’re so happy she gets her own personalized producer’s chair when she’s on set.
6. Legendary costume designer, Ann Roth, is designing the costumes for the movie!
With the brilliant, witty and talented Ann Roth a few days before winning her latest Academy Award. How proud are we at #ItsMeMargaret to have her doing costumes and so much more!

Ann Roth just won an Oscar for her work on Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, so I’d say our cast is in good hands.
