it does look good. although, i will admit i have a love/hate relationship with masterpiece theatre (not PBS - LOVE PBS). they were wise to show prime suspect snippet in the begininng - those were so well done.
this did remind me of the great austen movies already made. have you ever seen the mansfield park movie? i thought that was good. persuasion clips looks better than the only other movie i've seen. i don't know how they can touch pride and prejudice when all three movies (BBC being the best) and book (a true masterpiece) are so amazing. but i'm sure i'll watch to find out. somehow i can't resist a jane austen movie.
It starts on the 13th, Sunday nights at 8:00pm with Persuasion! I am planning on watching the older version this week and MAYBE read the book again before then! We really should get a group together to watch!
I am a busy Mormon mother with three children from my first marriage and four bonus children in New York. I am a child of God. I am blessed with three wonderful extended families and many amazingly talented friends. I work full-time in a dental office and we live in a little 1940's rental just five blocks from the public library.
I adore Oregon.
I am happy. I am busy. I am loved.
I may be changed by what has happened to me, but I will not be diminished by it. Maya Angelou
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishing." -Anais Nin
Wow!!! Now, I am sooo excited too. Can't wait until it airs. Seems like another excuse to reread all the novels.
ReplyDeleteI know! I just got the complete book of Jane Austen novels for Christmas!

Yipee! I hadn't heard about them! We should have a Jane Austen Masterpiece Theatre party! Thanks for sharing.
