Squee!

In other news, I got my driver's license today! Double squee!

EDIT: A more informative article

So they'll be going with Davies' NA, but someone else will be doing MP3 and S&S3. I can live with that. Even if Davies does take NA more seriously than it was intended, at least it should be a serious treatment of the novel.

Can't wait for the casting hullabaloo to start.

I got my driver's license today!

yay! (but drive carefully, now...)

But of course.... *shifty-eyed*

yay yay yay now its your turn to cheuffer! aha
wooot woot

heh. Don't count on that.

Yay especially for Mansfield Park! :)

Congrats on your driving licence!

Thanks! I'm psyched.

Well done you!

Thanks!

Whoa! A driver's licence! :D Congratulations!

I'm not sure about more adaptations, though. Well. . . I might be able to see more hot British male actors in costumes. . . :P

More adaptations are always good by me. Especially NA, which really needs a decent adaptation. Even an indifferent one would be nice, as long as they keep Henry the way he's supposed to be.

I wonder what is meant by "the absolute cream of British acting talent," though. Not Orlando Bloom, surely? Or Pierce Brosnan? More like, I dunno, Ewan McGregor, maybe? Maybe they just mean casting Judi Dench as all the older females..... Can you imagine Dame Judi as Mrs. Allen? *giggle*

I agree with Northanger Abbey. But I'm not sure about Mansfield Park. There's always a danger of making Mansfield Park looks like a novel written by George Elliot. Jane Austen was too far ahead of her time when she wrote about that novel, in my opinion.

I've heard that Orlando Bloom was asked to audition for the Darcy role in P&P3. Thanks God that he didn't play that. . .

Would've been funny, though, after the fracas with the Hello polls. *ahem*

As for MP3 (hee!), I'm hoping the new adaptation can finally cleanse my system of MP2.

I hope Andrew Davies doesn't write the screenplays, though -- from what I've read about him, he doesn't seem to "get" people like Edmund and Fanny, and God knows what he'd make of Henry and Catherine. S&S looks iffy just because he's helming it; I don't think he'll get Elinor, either. I can deal with S&S, though, because I'll still have S&S2 to fall back on. But we so rarely get a chance for MP or NA, I'd hate to see him screw them up.

*splorfle* Man, that was entertaining and silly. Like a MP skit that took a sharp turn to the bizarro world.

BTW, congrads on the license. *jealous*

Thank you!

I almost missed your post... but SQUEEEEEEE!

I know, right?

I've very excited. About both developments. *g*

Congratulations on the license!

*reads articles again* It says S&S won't be broadcast until 2007, but not when they're planning to do the others. It'll be something to look forward to anyway.

I'm looking forward to MP, since I've avoided MP2 and never saw MP1.

Are you going to cast them all (I mean work out your dream cast)?

I might, when I'm less busy. Right now whenever I try to cast, everybody comes up Christian Bale. Which is very pretty.....but also kind of weird. ;)
