Jane Austen’s Emma is the hotly-anticipated period drama you *need* to see


2019 has been the year book-to-movie adaptations hit the mainstream and it looks like the trend is set to bolster into the New Year with the upcoming reimagining of Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma.

Set for release on the 14th February 2020, Emma is described as a “glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up”. The coming-of-age story follows an entitled, wealthy and restless young woman who, unchallenged in her sleepy hometown, must adventure through several doomed romances before realising her true love has been there all along.

Ahead of the period drama’s forthcoming release, Universal have dropped the first trailer and we cannot stop swooning over the fashion. Lace parasols, feathered hats and lavish silk gowns… this is a film after our bank account.

Meanwhile, the film boasts a stellar cast to feast your eyes on. The Miniaturist’s Anya Taylor-Joy who stars in the title role and her A-list co-stars Johnny Flynn, Bill Nighy, Mia Goth, Miranda Hart and Josh O’Connor.

Anya took to Instagram to celebrate the trailer’s release. Posting a still image from the film, the actress wrote: “Delectable?? First look at @emmafilm … my HEART people. Teaser Trailer dropping TODAY!”

This is not the first time Jane Austen’s Emma has been adapted for the screen. In fact, there have been several adaptations including a BBC mini-series starring Kate Beckinsale and the 1995 rom-com Clueless which offered the ultimate modern interpretation of the classic novel.

While it’s hard to believe anything can top iconic duo Cher and Dionne, we have a feeling this adaptation will be a strong contender.
