Anya Taylor-Joy and musician-actor Johnny Flynn star in the trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel, Emma. Austen's original book (a blend of satire and romance, like so much of her writing) was first published in 1815, and has been adapted for television many times over throughout the last hundred years or so. There have only been a small handful of movie retellings, however, including the then modern-day set re-imagining Clueless and a more traditional interpretation starring Gwyneth Paltrow (both of which came out in the mid-'90s).
Written by novelist Eleanor Catton (The Luminaries) and directed by Autumn de Wilde (whose music video work includes several shorts for Beck), Emma stars Taylor-Joy as Emma Woodhouse, a "restless queen bee without rivals" who navigates her way through various romantic mis-matches and mistakes as she comes of age in her "sleepy little" hometown. Flynn costars as George Knightley, a friend of the Woodhouse family who doubles as both Emma's conscience and potential romantic interest, along with a cast that includes Bill Nighy (Detective Pikachu), Mia Goth (High Life), and Miranda Hart (Spy). Now, Jane Austen fans can get their first look at this new adaptation and its cast in motion.
The trailer for Emma is now online, ahead of its premiere in theaters over the weeks ahead. You can check it out, below.
