'Persuasion' is out now.
While remaining faithful to the novel, this fresh adaptation from Carrie Cracknell – who has helmed productions at both the Royal Court and the Young Vic, directedon Broadway, and is now making her film debut – promises a “modern, witty approach” to the beloved classic. Its log line reads: “Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities.
When Frederick Wentworth – the dashing one she once sent away – crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.” Expect to see snarky asides, eye rolls and monologues to camera à laDakota Johnson as Anne Elliot, Richard E. Grant as Sir Walter Elliot, and Yolanda Kettle as Elizabeth Elliot.
