A fresh adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless novel “Sense and Sensibility” is currently being developed. Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones will take on the role of one of the Dashwood sisters in this upcoming production.
Focus Features and Working Title Films are supporting a modern interpretation of the well-known 18th-century novel, with Georgia Oakley at the helm, directing a screenplay penned by author Diana Reid. The storyline revolves around the struggling Dashwood family, delving into the romantic journeys of sisters Elinor and Marianne as they and their widowed mother adapt to life for the now-impoverished family following the death of their father and husband. This adaptation is titled Sense and Sensibility.
Edgar-Jones will play the role of Elinor.
Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner from Working Title Films will team up with India Flint from November Pictures and Jo Wallett for the production of the upcoming project based on Sense and Sensibility. This collaboration echoes their previous work together, such as their 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, another Jane Austen classic novel, and their 2020 interpretation of Austen’s Emma.
Edgar-Jones made a notable debut in the movie “Twisters” and was also featured in the film adaptation of the book “Where the Crawdads Sing”. She is additionally serving as an executive producer and will be acting alongside Jacob Elordi and Will Poulter in the production titled “On Swift Horses”.
Oakley gained recognition for penning and directing her first full-length film, titled “Blue Jean.” More recently, Focus Features has distributed films like Edward Berger’s “Conclave,” Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu,” and Steven Soderbergh’s “Black Bag.
Working Title Films has recently produced films such as Coralie Fargeat’s “The Essence”, Steve McQueen’s “Lightning Strike”, and “Bridget Jones: Crazy for Another Chapter”.
Edgar-Jones, as represented, falls under the management of United Talent Agency (UTA) and Hamilton Hodell. In contrast, Oakley is handled by Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Lark. Reid is associated with Curtis Brown for representation.
