Trailer for the new 2008 Sense & Sensibility!

It may be viewed here. I'm getting rather excited! (although if the rumours are true and Willoughby does seduce Eliza in the opening scene then I am going to be sorely dissapointed) But I like how this Elinor looks, and I love the idea of adding a duel. *hee*

Does anyone else think that they are trying to make this Marianne look like Kate Winslet in the 1995 S&S? Her hair, etc.? And the velvet dress she wears in the promo photo and the scene with Colonel Brandon and the hawk in this preview is allegedly the same dress Kiera Knightley wears to Pemberley. View and compare photos here.

How neat! It touts the writer Andrew Davies. I'm not a person "in the know" so to speak but he was the ("a"?) writer for 95's P&P which is my all-time favorite. That in and of itself is squee-worthy. lol.

It says for DVD release. I'm assuming it will be released to the US as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, he wrote the '95 P&P as well as the Kate Beckinsale Emma (my favourite adaptation) and the newest Northanger Abbey put out by ITV.

My pleasure! Thanks for the comment. :-)
