      At least these posters kinda remind me of 2015’s Far From the Madding Crowd
      And when can we expect a trailer?

      I truly believe Little Women (2019) deserved an Oscar nom for directing. Greta Gerwig found a way to make the themes explicit. That book really rewards viewers w all these once-in-a-generation remakes. 

      But other adaptations of classic books really haven’t stuck the landing for me lately (and they don’t seem to fare well w other viewers either). 

      This certainly won’t be like Emerald Ferrell’s Wuthering Heights or Dakota Johnson’s Persuasion, but what will it gives us that justifies it…existing?

      Also: There’s gonna be a Pride and Prejudice w Emma Corrin. They’re version of Lady Chatterly’s Lover gave us a surprisingly healthy, hopeful romance (but wasn’t nearly as raunchy or bold as the book)

      I keep having this issue with new period pieces and I don’t know why: why does everything look so damn modern? The hairstyle and the makeup scream girls dressing up like the Dashwood sisters

      i would like the image so much more if it didn’t look like they photoshopped it to make Daisy Edgar Jones’s face more visible. i like the art direction though.

      My heart belongs to Ang Lee’s version. I’ve seen it so many times. I am afraid I probably will not watch this unless reviews are excellent.

      Fuck – Caitriona is already stuck in the mother role? She’s only 46.

      Period dramas, please put the hair up again. It’s a small thing, but it takes me right out of whatever time period you’re doing. Also, stop adding dialogue about how awful and oppressive corsets are. I don’t know this will happen in this adaptation, but I have a feeling.

      God damnit, why does Hollywood hate appropriate period hair so much? And bonnets??? These mullets don’t even look good all loose and chunky like this.

      Northanger Abbey and a good Persuasion adaptation when pls we already have enough S&S, P&P, and Emmas

    13. Shananigans1988 on

      Mind you I would still watch this. Having the hair down makes me sad.

      I never really understand the ‘why do these stories need to be retold’ criticisms, stories are designed to be retold. I love the Kate Winslet version, that’s 30 years old, and I know there are older versions again that are also beloved so why not give it a shot for a new generation? 

    16. NoMorePosting2026 on

      I love the Ang Lee version and the BBC tv adaptation with Charity Wakefield, and I will watch this too. Just as I watch every Hallmark version of a Jane Austen novel, and every mini series version of a Jane Austen novel…it’s happiness for me.

      I yearn for period-accurate hair.

      (not a critique of just this movie alone, just something I’ve noticed in so many “period” pieces is super modern hair/makeup.)

    19. innocentsalad on

      I hate to be all oldmanmadatclouds but there was already a perfect adaptation of this. Same goes for Persuasion. Why do they keep putting out this shit?

    22. adreamersmusing on

      I do not understand why the world is so obsessed with Jane Austen to commission 1000s of adaptations every 10 years of her work when there are perfectly serviceable existing adaptations, and plenty of existing work by authors who have never had their work adapted, particularly poc authors that would have new audiences be introduced to their work. 

    23. shoetingstar on

      Are they riding a horse, or running, or gliding in the air like the Siren vampires in Van Helsing?

    24. gesamtkunstwerkteam on

      Daisy Edgar-Jones is one of those go-girl-give-us-nothing actors to me… but I mean, it’s not like I’m not going to be seatedt.

    26. LadyVioletLuna on

      The only reason I really enjoyed the Kiera Knightley Pride and prejudice remake over the British tv mini series was the score. Dario Marianelli is a fave composer.

      Hope they got him for this remake as well. I will always Stan the Kate Winslet version of Sense and sensibility.

    28. turquoisesilver on

      I’m currently on a mission to read every Jane Austen book to see if any dialogue from the books hasn’t been adapted yet after so many versions. The verdict:

      Pride and Prejudice – a few side character moments and it’s been a while since the long bits of dialogue after Darcy and Elizabeth got together has been adapted. Personally I felt it was over egging the pudding. The dialogue is basically like ‘when this happened I was thinking this and too proud , well when that thing happened I was too full of pride’. Noone casts Mr and Mrs Bennet and the Gardners the anywhere near as young as their estimated ages.

      Emma – so many meaningless conversations weren’t adapted. Mainly things Mrs Elton says that show how annoying she is to Emma. A few minor bits of narrative to show how confusing who is attracted to who is in this tangled up love story.

      Persuasion – half way through reading but most of the dialogue has been adapted. Most of the text is devoted to how small and sad Anne is amongst the group. It would be nice to have age accurate actors in a decent production though.

      TLDR unless the adaptation is going for more accurate age casting and doing something spectacular with costuming and production like Emma 2020. I really don’t see how any new production will do anything other than fall short by comparison to prior productions.

      Will Anne Steele be in this version? She’s always cut from adaptations and she’s my favourite

    30. prettybunbun on

      I actually love the art direction on these

      But hollywood please make an accurate persuasion adaptation. We can power the entire studio on jane austen spinning in her grave from the netflix one

    31. adreamersmusing on

      I am not disputing that but she’s hardly the only writer writing clever satires, even at the time. Where are the million adaptations of Jazz by Toni Morrison, Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin, Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, anything by Salman Rushdie, or heck, even any of P.G Wodehouse’s work or stuff by Georgette Hayer and George Eliot (if we’re looking for work more along Jane Austen’s vein)?

       I also find that Jane Austen’s social commentary has widely been exaggerated (in that I don’t think it’s very sharp or even more than mildly critical of Regency England) to downplay the romantic aspects of her work because calling her work romances diminishes the literary quality of her work but I digress.

      I feel like Hollywood and the literary community’s elevation of Jane Austen comes at the expense of many brilliant writers who have simply never found contemporary audiences (broadly speaking, not from those already within the know) because they just don’t have this kind of institutional backing. I’ll even go one step further and say Sense and Sensibility as a book is not very strong, and I found the 1995 adaptation to be superior to it.

      The hair, the awful face photoshop, that tag line, the iPhone faces with modern eyebrow aesthetic, the fact that another version is not needed or wanted

    35. posh_squash_ on

      Unpopular opinion but I don’t like the Emma Thompson version. Everyone except Winslet seemed too old for their roles, and the relationship between Winslet and Rickman was weird.

    38. Whole-Neighborhood on

      But what if I end up liking it more than the Alan Rickman* version?? What will I do with my life then? No, I can’t risk it, I won’t see it!

      Oh look, young women running in a field with their hair down.

      Never seen that in a period drama. Never. Totally revolutionary.
