Trailer for the new 2008 Sense & Sensibility!

[olde_fashioned]

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.

Somehow I was *completely* unaware that this was being made - thanks for posting!

I've got the screenplay/diaries that Emma Thompson wrote for the "other one", so I'm rather attached to that version, but it's exciting that this will be a mini-series.

My pleasure!

I'm very attached to that version, so we shall see if I can manage to watch the new one without constantly comparing the two. ;-)

I'll probably have that problem, too! It took me watching the '05 P&P twice before I started to just love it on its own merits, so I imagine it will be the same with this. =)

I must say, the Fanny Dashwood in that preview sounds almost *exactly* like the original girl - kind of caught me by suprise. She's near the top of my list of "Movie Characters I Love to Hate."
