Releasing in cinemas worldwide in September 25, other cast members include
Esm Creed-Miles, Caitrona Balfe, Frank Dillane, George MacKay, Herbert Nordrum, Bodhi Rae Breathnach and Fiona Shaw. The new movie, directed by Georgia Oakley, is the eighth adaptation of the Jane Austen novel since 1971, across all global media. However, fans of the book are already worried that the new film won't live up to one version in particular: the 1995 movie led
by Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

"Unnecessary," one fan comment on YouTube reads, with another agreeing,
"Gonna be very hard to top the Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson one."

A third adds on X , "1995 stans will riot, but this looks like it actually gets the heartbreak. Count me in for the tissues and the bonnets."

While fans are already divided over the impact of Oakley's take on the
classic book, we're potentially overlooking the most crucial casting of the bunch: Caitrona Balfe. Opinion: Caitrona Balfe's Outlander experience could elevate Sense and Sensibility Sense and Sensibility | Official Trailer - HD - YouTube Watch On We've all been so busy talking about Daisy Edgar-Jones in
the role of Elinor Dashwood that we've completely neglected how inspired a piece of casting Caitrona Balfe is. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals,

The Outlander star will be playing Mrs Dashwood, originally played by Gemma Jones in the 1995 movie. Balfe is no stranger to creating compelling historical romance, having starred as Claire in the hit Starz series since 2014.

Frankly, she's the ideal person to cast in the face of a Jane Austen remake being so noticeably divisive. The new movie will need as many safe pairs of hands as possible to fend off the 'There-was-no-point-in-making-this-movie' brigade, especially if the idea is to showcase something completely
different.

As far as the above trailer is concerned, we can expect traditional period-drama vibes throughout. Universal Pictures describes the adaptation as "an irresistible new take on Jane Austens iconic Sense and Sensibility : a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood."
