Persuasion: First Images and Release Date of Dakota Johnson In The Adaptation Of Jane Austen Out

Persuasion Netflix: For lovers of period stories, there is an indispensable author: Jane Austen. The British novelist lived during the Georgian era and left a legacy that she continues to move to this day. And it is that she knew how to become the writer of classics like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Emma. All of them had their screen adaptation and now another fiction will have its place in the Netflix catalog. It’s about Persuasion and here we show you the first previews of it.

The tape, which will be distributed by the streaming giant, already has a clear protagonist. This time, Dakota Johnson will be in charge of bringing Anne Elliot to life. Adventure movies, horror films or hits that catapulted her globally, such as Fifty Shades of Gray, showed that she is an actress who can adapt to any genre and, apparently, period films will not be the exception to her. In addition, Netflix already knows her work very well: recently, she participated in The Dark Daughter with Olivia Colman.

Johnson was also chosen to join a superhero franchise, as she was cast as Madame Web, the first female lead in the Spider-Man universe to have her solo film. But while that project begins to move forward, Persuasion is already more than finalized and has its official images that are promising and that show its interesting cast. The direction will be in the hands of Carrie Cracknell, who will debut in that role under the script of Ron Bass and Alice Victoria Winslow. What exactly is the movie about? Based on the 1817 novel , it will show a young English woman who lives with her family in debt to her and who meets Captain Frederick Wentworth, her former lover, about whom she must decide whether or not to give him a second chance.
