Dakota Johnson is set to star in Netflix’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1818 novel Persuasion, Variety reported on April 21, Wednesday.
Netflix revealed that Persuasion will have a “modern, witty approach” following the story of Anne Elliot, “an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities, living with her snobby family who are on the brink of bankruptcy.” Anne will then choose “between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart” when a past love comes back to her life.
No further casting details have been announced but the production is expected to begin in May. Theater director Carrie Cracknell will direct the upcoming film as her feature directorial debut.
Persuasion is Jane Austen’s last novel prior to her death in 1817. The novel has had several previous film and television adaptations, including the 2007 movie starring Sally Hawkins.
Dakota is known for her roles in films The Fifty Shades trilogy, Wounds, and The High Note. – Rappler.com
