Sense and Sensibility remake
I read on one of my Alan Rickman comms today that there is going to be a remake of Sense and Sensibility - - apparently a miniseries. I don't have a problem with that, even though Alan Rickman is the only Brandon I need, but some of the changes are sort of scary.
Apparently the writer of the remake thinks there should be more sex and violence. WTF? It's Jane Austen.
Also, from the article - - He feels that Austen should have given readers more help to understand how Marianne was able to transfer her affections so swiftly from Willoughby to the gruff Brandon. As a result, Davies's adaptation will see Brandon, this time played by David Morrissey, riding a lot of horses very fast. Again, WTF? I could easily see why she would choose Brandon. I was telling her that all through the movie. Okay, a lot of that had to do with the fact that it was *Alan Rickman*, but still. And um, riding a lot of horse very fast?
