In honor of our fresh and bold adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, we're screening the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen.
In honor of our fresh and bold adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, we're screening the 2013 romantic comedy film Austenland. Based on Shannon Hale's 2007 novel of the same name, it stars Keri Russell as Jane, a single thirty-something obsessed with Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, who travels to a British resort called Austenland, a British theme resort where guests immerse themselves in a romantic fantasy worthy of Austen herself. However, because Jane's limited funds do not allow as many privileges as other guests, her chance at a fling with her very own Mr. Darcy may be limited as well.
In honor of our fresh and bold adaptation of Sense & Sensibility, we're screening the 2016 historical-action-comedy-horror film based on Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The film parodies the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and follows the general plot of Austen's original novel, with elements of zombie, horror, and post-apocalyptic fiction incorporated. Like one does.
