Jane Austen - Filmography (jane_austen_-_filmography.doc)

Jane Austen - [edit]Filmography

In popular culture, Austen's novels have been adapted in a great number of film and television series, varying greatly in their faithfulness to the originals.

Pride and Prejudice has been the most reproduced of her works, with six films, the most recent being the 2005 adaptation directed by Joe Wright, starring Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Bennet), Donald Sutherland (Mr. Bennet), Matthew Macfadyen (Mr. Darcy), and Dame Judi Dench (Lady Catherine de Bourgh), as well as the 2004 Bollywood adaptation Bride & Prejudice. There is also a 1940 film version of the novel starring Laurence Oliver as Mr. Darcy, and Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennet. Also, in a 1985 BBC film Elizabeth Garvie starred as Elizabeth Bennet. Previously, there were five television series produced by the BBC, the most noteworthy being the well-loved 1995 version, starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The very first interpretation, however, was made as a black and white silent film,although tragically the tape has been lost in time. The 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary, based on a book by Helen Fielding, took the story line and several characters directly from the novel.

Emma has been adapted on television several times, first in 1948. Recent versions include a 1972 British television version, the 1996 film Emma, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam, and also in 1996 on British television with Kate Beckinsale. The 1995 film Clueless, directed by Amy Heckerling and starring Alicia Silverstone, is a modernization of Emma in a California high school setting.

Sense and Sensibility has been made into four films including the 1995 version, from a screenplay adapted by Emma Thompson (who won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay); it was directed by Ang Lee and starred Thompson and Kate Winslet. Persuasion has been adapted into two television series and one feature film. Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey have both been made into films, with a new version of the former to be released in 2007. The 1980 film Jane Austen in Manhattan is about rival stage companies who wish to produce the only complete Austen play "Sir Charles Grandison" (from the Richardson novel of the same title), which was rediscovered in 1980.
