new pride & prejudice mini series in the works

I read daisy edgar jones is set to star in the new Netflix series.

Unless they take a radically different approach I really don’t see the need for this after the terrific 1995 mini series and a decent movie in 2005 with Keira Knightley.

I can see why they might remake a series that didn’t really fulfil its full potential but why this one which has had two successful versions already.

Are there no other Jane Austen or novels of that kind that can get adapted instead. I’d much rather see the much talked about ‘custom of the country’ instead- at least it would be original. So sick of remakes of already good movies/series.

The first was thirty years ago, the second was twenty years ago.

Time marches on.

It will have a racially diverse cast, but we will be asked to pretend it isn't anachronistic for a period piece.

Colin Firth was the definitive Mr. Darby. Retire the role.
