00:00We finally have Daisy Edgar Jones' Sense and Sensibility release date.
00:05Jane Austen is having a full Regency revival, with a new Netflix Pride and Prejudice,
00:10a BBC Mary Bennett spin-off, and now a new Sense and Sensibility movie starring Daisy Edgar Jones.
00:16As my favorite Austen novel, I literally screamed at the news.
00:20Aside from a 2024 Hallmark take, the last major film was in 1995,
00:26so a big screen revival is long overdue.
00:28The new Sense and Sensibility movie hits theaters on September 11, 2026,
00:34a perfect release date for such a cozy, comforting story.
00:38In the meantime, you can rent Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility on Amazon Prime.
00:43Early Sense and Sensibility leaks show Daisy Edgar Jones, Fiona Shaw, and others in beautifully detailed costumes,
00:50sparking major fan excitement.
00:52Viewers praised Fiona Shaw as a perfect Mrs. Jennings
00:55and called Daisy breathtaking as Eleanor on social media.
00:59As a longtime fan, I'm eager to see this adaptation come to life.
01:04The cast is stacked with period drama talent.
01:07Daisy Edgar Jones as Eleanor and Esme Creed Miles as Marianne lead the film,
01:11alongside George McKay, Edward Ferrars,
01:13Frank Delane, John Willoughby, and Herbert Nordrum, Colonel Brandon.
01:18Katriana Balfe and Bodhi Rae Brettnock play Mrs. Dashwood and Margaret,
01:23with Fiona Shaw as the unforgettable Mrs. Jennings.
01:27Yes, a new Sense and Sensibility movie is on the way,
01:30starring Twister's Daisy Edgar Jones.
01:32Georgia Oakley will direct, Diana Reed will write the screenplay,
01:36and the film is being produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films,
01:41along with India Flint and Joe Wallet of November Pictures.
01:44The plot centers on sisters Eleanor and Marianne,
01:47who must leave their home after their father's death and their brother's inheritance.
01:51Starting over in the countryside,
01:53they encounter love, heartbreak, and the charm, and deception, of the men they meet.
01:58For the Dashwood family, a 500-pound yearly allowance,
02:02roughly $35,000 today, meant living modestly and budgeting carefully,
02:07especially since none of the women could earn their own income.
02:11The story warns against being ruled entirely by emotion or logic.
02:15Both extremes can lead to heartbreak.
02:17To me, the story shows that love and life work best with balance,
02:21embracing romantic feelings while staying grounded in common sense.
02:25Even allowing for the norms of 1811,
02:27Marianne being 16 and Colonel Brandon 35 is a major yikes.
02:32The 19-year age gap feels unsettling today.
02:36And while Austin meant Brandon to represent stability after heartbreak,
02:39modern readers are right to question it.
