I will be fair, the trailer doesn't look that bad (except why does Edward look so old? Is this a new trend? Hallmark had an older Edward too, the man is 24)
But that tagline, Being agreeable never did a woman any good and the director's near disdain for history and the original text outlined in this article:
“I’m a little bit sick of the sort of fetishization of that time period, and this idea that everybody spent, like, seven hours doing their hair and makeup, and everything was always pristine, and somebody was always waiting to help you out of your dress or whatever. I’m not a historian, but I don’t buy all of it.”
"I know I'll be criticized for lack of historical accuracy, so why don't I call you all creepers for liking up-dos before you can protest. Also, I'm proud to be ignorant."
“One of our actors hadn’t seen the previous film, and he hadn’t read the book, and he asked me whether he should,” Oakley recalls. “I was like, ‘Well, maybe don’t.’ It’s kind of important for some people to come at this without any of those preconceptions. Something I would love is for people who know nothing of the book and who haven’t seen previous versions of it to see this and to connect with it.”
Remember when we were all so excited that Ian McKellen was a huge fan of the books of Lord of the Rings and kept them on set? Where did that energy go? Though honestly, I'd be happy to see a new Sense & Sensibility adaptation that leaves 1995 alone. If Margaret is a pirate again, I'm out.
I just... have some hesitancy.
