Sense and Sensibility

Efter at have spillet hovedrollen i Hvor flodkrebsene synger, er Daisy Edgar‑Jones nu klar til at være omdrejningspunkt i endnu en filmatisering af en berømt bog - denne gang som hovedrollen Elinor i en ny filmudgave af Jane Austens 'Fornuft og følelse'.

Den BAFTA-nominerede Georgia Oakley vil instruere filmen efter manuskript af bestsellerforfatteren Diana Reid.

Oprindeligt udgivet anonymt under navnet 'By A Lady' fortæller Austens roman historien om søstrene Elinor og Marianne Dashwood på deres færd gennem kærlighed, tab og økonomisk usikkerhed midt i det 18. århundredes samfundsforventninger i England.

Romanen er stadig en hjørnesten i engelsk litteratur og den første af mange klassikere fra Austens hånd.

'Fornuft og følelse' er blevet filmatiseret flere gange, måske mest kendt i form af 1995-versionen instrueret af Ang Lee. I den version spillede Emma Thompson Elinor, mens Kate Winslet portrætterede Marianne, Alan Rickman Colonel Brandon og Hugh Grant Edward Ferrars.

Det bliver produktionsselskabet Focus Features, der vil stå bag filmen. De har tidligere produceret to andre Austen-filmatiseringer i form af 2006‑versionen af Stolthed og fordom med Keira Knightley og Matthew Macfadyen samt Emma fra 2020 med Anya Taylor‑Joy i titelrollen.

Daisy Edgar‑Jones er bedst kendt fra film som Twisters og den førnævnte 'Hvor flodkrebsene synger', og blev BAFTA‑ og Golden Globe‑nomineret for sin hovedrolle sammen med Paul Mescal i serien 'Normal People'. 

Vi mødes 30 min før filmen starter og spiser en sandwich i IDA selskab.

***ENGLISH***

After starring in Where the Crawdads Sing, Daisy Edgar-Jones is now set to take center stage in another adaptation of a famous novel—this time in the lead role of Elinor in a new film version of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.

BAFTA-nominated Georgia Oakley will direct the film from a screenplay by bestselling author Diana Reid.

Originally published anonymously under the name “By A Lady,” Austen’s novel tells the story of the sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood as they navigate love, loss, and financial uncertainty amid the social expectations of 18th-century England. The novel remains a cornerstone of English literature and was the first of many classics from Austen’s hand.

Sense and Sensibility has been adapted for the screen several times, perhaps most famously in the 1995 version directed by Ang Lee. In that adaptation, Emma Thompson played Elinor, Kate Winslet portrayed Marianne, Alan Rickman played Colonel Brandon, and Hugh Grant appeared as Edward Ferrars.

The production company Focus Features will be behind the film. They have previously produced two other Austen adaptations: the 2006 version of Pride & Prejudice starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, as well as Emma from 2020, with Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role.

Daisy Edgar-Jones is best known for films such as Twisters and the aforementioned Where the Crawdads Sing, and received BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for her leading role alongside Paul Mescal in the series Normal People.

We will meet 30 minutes before the film starts and have a sandwich with other IDA members.
