YES, I came here to say exactly this. Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso) floated this idea with The Muppets last year, with him as Darcy and Miss Piggy as Elizabeth Bennet. Genius.
@@movealongnowDT it is not question of preferences. It is the only Pride and Prejudice adaptation that is actually real adaptation of the novel, inte a movie about "everything that came into my mind while I pretended to read Austen´s book"
@panchitaobrian660 It is a question of preferences. Like P&P is my favorite book of all time and i read it countless times and yet i prefer the 2005 version. Obviously I never found the book boring but i really had to force myself to finish the 1995 version because it was so dense and the actors did not do it for me. I even like the 80s version more.
I desperately want to see a good Mansfield Park adaptation! I actually thought the casting of the 1999 version was perrrrrrrfect - except for Fanny, and of course all the changes the script made to her character, and little adjustments to the plot and dialogue... no. But alas. I doubt any production company would have the gumption to create a movie or series about a heroine who is, externally anyway, shy and meek - look what they did to poor Anne Elliot, who was never even either of those things! Speaking of, I do think the recent Persuasion adaptation had a few redeeming features, but it was too uneven and the cringey anachronistic moments were just... ugh. Octopus on your face, indeed.
Thank you for mentioning Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I wish more people knew about it. I'd like an adapation of Agnes Grey as well even if it isn't as complex, I think it's so cute and it's very akin to Austen so many people would enjoy it. I think the last good direct adapation of a classic that I've seen was the Emma movie from 2020
Hurrah for another adaptation of Tenant of Wildfell Hall!! As you say - SO underrated and my favourite Bronte novel too. It's subject matter is, sadly, still so relevant to today's world. Why oh why aren't they doing that?
Precisely how I feel. I really enjoy seeing what each adaptation brings to the story. I loved both 1995 and 2005 version, for different reasons. Would love to see Henry Cahill as Darcy. And a petite woman playing Elizabeth! Not someone who is runway model tall.
I mean why not ? I personally think we already have as close to perfection as we can get with what we have. - You want to experience the whole book in visual format with historically adequate costumes and hair ? --->1995 - You want to escape into a cottagecore fantasy romantic eye candy vision ---> 2005 (That's why I love both) Not counting the Zombies one, Bride & Prejudice, the 80s one, the 40s one and probably others. What else could another adaptation bring ?
If you can get your hands on the 1996 "The Tennant of Wildfell Hall" it is well worth watching. It's quite faithful to the source material and Tara Fitzgerald is perfectly cast as The Tennant. For me, if they want a Bronte (and please NOT a Blonde Jane Eyre!), then "Villette" might be worth a shot - though they might have to do something about the unreliable narrator/central character... While they are at it, it's been quite a while since we had any George Elliot adaptations and something like "Silas Marner" would offer potentials for either a straight adaptation or a modern retelling featuring a former American Evangelical in the title role...
This was such a fun video, Claudia! I’m a bit P&P’d out, but I do love your concept for a Bridgertonesque version of Northanger Abbey. I’m currently reading NA, and agree that it would readily lend itself to such a retelling. Catherine Morland is much more likely to break the 4th wall, and sass the viewer, than Anne Elliot.
Wish they would discover Georgette Heyer. Would love to see Fredrica, Cotillion (my fav), or the Grand Sophy. So many great stories that would make great TV.
@@SpinstersLibrary I envy you. You still have the joy of reading them for the first time. I'm 70 and have been re-reading them since I was 16. Love her humor.
OHMYGAWDYES!!! Carmilla!!!! How in the world are there no movie adaptations of that yet? That would be excellent! A problem with many adaptations, IMO, is that classic/Victorian novels tend to be long, and so a lot of the story gets sacrificed. It's a major reason why I've hated all movie versions of The Woman in White -- although a multi-part TV series might be able to do it justice. Same with Count of Monte Cristo - I think you just have to read the book, which granted at 1200+ pages will seem daunting to many people. But Carmilla is an excellent choice: whopping good story in a relatively short novella. By the way, if you do have Disney channel, several months ago they did a show called "Renegade Nell" - some of the people behind it also did "Gentleman Jack." I don't know if it is based on a book (and if so, it is a modern one), but it was a fantastic show. Set in late 1700s, about a woman who becomes a "highwayman" and crusader for revenge/justice. It had a bit of a fantasy element to it. It's kind of like a fantasy fanfiction of history. Really good!
I think there's nothing wrong with having multiple adaptations of beloved works... however, after the Netflix Persuasion I don't have high hopes for this one.
I was onboard until you said Dolly Alderton 😂 my favourite definitely the 1995 bbc mini series but my best friend’s favourite is the film with Keira Knightly, so I feel like a new adaptation will be someone’s favourite!!!
The problem with "Do we need another adaptation of" videos is that we don't know if we need it until we actually get it. Did we need another The Thing movie? The original 1950s version was actually really good. Did we need another The Fly? The eighties versions of both became the one everyone thinks of. I'll bet most people didn't know the Curt Russel The Thing was a remake. If it's well cast, well adapted, and says something that the previous adaptations do not, then this one may supplant the 1990s version of Pride and Prejudice. If any of these aspects are lacking, then it will come out and quickly be forgotten as most people will gravitate back to the 1990s TV show or the 2000s movie. (Or maybe --gasp-- read the novel.) Personally, I don't see a problem with new adaptations. Have fun with them if they're good, or toss them in the proverbial dumpster if they aren't.
answering your question before watching the video: No, we will never need another adaptation after 1995 BBC series. That strange 2005 movie for idiots, I mean, sorry, for people who do not understand how is Pride and Prejudice and The Kardashians any different - was totally unneeded
@@claratucker287 Y I don't think there's much wrong with the movie; it just suffers in comparison with the 1995 miniseries. But that will always be true when comparing movies with TV miniseries, as the TV format allows more of the book to be put on screen, which gives the story room to breathe.
I don't have Netflix. I refuse to on principle because not everyone can afford it. So I will not be seeing it. I don't have time to waste on adaptions that ruin the book for me. Spinster, have you read the Athena Club books? Theodora Goss wrote a trilogy about the women who are usually killed off in Victorian fiction (like the puma woman in The Island of Dr. Moreau). Carmilla is a character in it and she's fantastic. It's fascinating and I love it.
Yes ('Fire Island' which should've had a theatrical release) and no (Netflix has too many misfires). As a Gen Z Queer South Asian, I've had 'Bride and Prejudice' and 'Fire Island' (alongside the classic Keira Knightley period drama where a hot guy is down bad for her).
To be fair, that describes most films Keira Knightley has ever been in 😅 (lovely to hear from you btw - I sent you an email earlier this month and was wondering whether you got it)
It's interesting to think about what adaptations could be made of classic literature. For what it's worth, here's my wish list 1) *_Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World_* by Fanny Burney Set in the generation before 'Pride and Prejudice' this is the adventures of a young woman as she navigates 18th century English society. It's been a few years since I read it, but I remember I enjoyed it a lot, particularly the descriptions of Georgian London's pleasure gardens, theatres, and other attractions, along with a great cast of characters. I don't think it's ever been adapted, which is a shame, and would work well as a miniseries on TV. 2) *_Wylder’s Hand_* by J. Sheridan le Fanu Less well known than his vampire novel Carmilla, 'Wylder’s Hand' is a great example of a Victorian sensation novel, centering on a mysterious disappearance. Well worth reading, and I think it could work well as a miniseries. 3) *_Lady Susan_* by Jane Austen Adapted as a pretty good film (Love & Friendship) in 2016, I think a short miniseries of this lesser known Austen novel might be nice.
IMO, yes, we can always use another. Maybe, just maybe, it will be good. If not, their loss, I'll keep reading the books and watching 1995. Perhaps it will combine the character accuracy and costume accuracy from 1995 with the correct ages and cinematography of 2005? There's always a chance.
OMG, I definitely need to see all the adaptations you’ve suggested! If only they find male actors appealing enough. A huge problem of the Netflix Persuasion version (on top of everything else) was the lukewarm Captain, imho. Any chemistry between the lead characters and it would have been a different film altogether.
New subscriber here. Very much agree with you! Highly recommend the BBC adaptation of “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.” Hope you enjoy it! And yes, it would great to see a new version. I also am super annoyed by Fanny in “Mansfield Park.” :)
There are literally thousands and thousands of people who are too young to have seen the bbc version or even the Keira knightly one. While we who have seen 95 version or 2005 may feel it’s enough, let it be a new discovery for them. Let them love the original not just the derivative. I just hope it’s more along the lines of the most recent Emma rather than Persuasion. And I hope to god they don’t go the route of Bridgeton.
That's the first time I've seen any of the Netflix Persuasion adaptation and I already hate it. I do not think you can improve on the 1995 series, that said, almost no young people are going to watch something from 1995 willingly, so this will bring P&P to a new generation and some tiny percent of them might read the book. I actually really liked the 2020 film of Emma too, so I think there is a slight chance they might not make something utterly dreadful.
4:20 I am only here for the nice purring sounds. And the cat. And the witchery. And because 420. I should say I'm here for the dope. Which I am not, because I don't like the taste of dope... Or the smell. Sorry, don't like it. Bah.
Not a fan of Elizabeth Gaskell then, are you? Her novels seem highly adaptable to the screen in my opinion, notwithstanding even the utterly charming Cranford, which essentially has no plot. I read it at least every other year, mostly to restore my faith in the importance to the world of respectable and insignificant women, and the value of a proper quarter of an hour morning social call. Please give my regards to your excellent mother and continue in good health.
Persuasion would be good, too, but also impossible. 2007 movie was real good but why on earth they ve chosen this actress?? And what did they do to her hair?.... No charisma at all. Dakota Johnson was an ideal Ann if we speak of appearance but my, they´ve ruined her character
I agree about Mansfield park adaptaion. It is really overdue. But these days when western civilization is approaching its end, the good adaptation, like the 1995 series (when the said civilization´s culture peaked and went down after that really quickly), is impossible. Besides, I also agree that it should be BBC not Netflix, to work with this lengthy novel. You are totally wrong about Fanny tough. How mentally limited you need to be not to recognize a story of abused child who still managed to grow up into a morally healthy, wise and deep person, in contrast to all other youngsters around her, who had much better living conditions.
Black afro lesbian Lizzy girl boss with purple hair and piercings, Asian Darcy with obese ("plus size" I beg your pardon) weak character and a pumpkin spice almond milk low fat no glutten organic latte in his fine hand ??? No thank you.
Yes we do need another Pride and Prejudice series, but all the characters must all be played by your cats
PRIDE AND PURRJUDICE LET'S GO
yes, it is the only one alternative to 1995 series we may really need )
Minerva would make an excellent Mr Darcy... she's very good at glaring. Also brooding.
I would be 100% up for this!!!
Yes!!
They can do another one IF it’s a Muppet Pride and Prejudice
That would be soooooo awesome!
