New 'Sense & Sensibility' Adaptation Rounds Out Cast as Filming Begins
News that Focus Features was working on a brand new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Sense & Sensibility dropped less than a month ago, but the project is apparently already in high gear. The first novel published by Austen (anonymously, of course), the story follows the Dashwood family, three sisters and their widowed mother, who are forced to leave the family estate in Sussex and relocate to more modest living arrangements in Devon.

And now, a new generation will get the chance to experience it on the big screen for themselves.
In this latest update, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood will be played by Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) and Esmé Creed-Miles (The Sandman), respectively.
