Screenshot courtesy YouTube/Focus Features Daisy Edgar-Jones enters the Jane Austen cinematic universe in the first trailer for Focus Features’ new adaptation of “Sense and Sensibility.”
The “Twisters” star plays Elinor Dashwood, one of three sisters who are forced to leave their family estate with their widowed mother and move to a humble cottage. There, they experience love and heartbreak for the first time.
Based on the teaser, it looks like director Georgia Oakley has helmed a faithful take of Austen’s debut novel, complete with plenty of sweeping shots and longing glances. Alongside Edgar-Jones, the cast includes Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne Dashwood, Caitríona Balfe as Mrs. Dashwood, Frank Dillane as John Willoughby, Herbert Nordrum as Colonel Brandon, Bodhi Rae Breathnach as Margaret Dashwood, George MacKay as Edward Ferrars and Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Jennings.
