The Trailer For 'Emma' Has Arrived And It's A Visual Feast For Millennial Eyes

The Jane Austen classic undergoes the silver screen treatment once more - by Danielle Fowler
  • 17 Dec 2019

Jane Austen enthusiasts will never agree on which adaptation of Emma should be crowned the best.

Though it's hardly surprising with a number of silver screen treatments to flick through from the 1996 Gwyneth Paltrow-fronted drama to Clueless - which saw protagonist Cher Horowitz steer the novel into a quote-worthy pop culture hit.

Now, the 19th century novel has been given yet another reboot and the trailer proves it could be in the running to become our new favourite. 

The Trailer For 'Emma' Has Arrived And It's A Visual Feast For Millennial Eyes

The Focus Features remake sees Anya Taylor-Joy take on the titular role of Emma.

The Crown devotees will be pleased to see a familiar face beside her too, as Josh O'Connor will also star in the forthcoming film - stepping into young vicar Mr Elton's polished shoes.

Mia Goth will grace the screen as matched love interest Harriet Smith with other famous faces including Bill Nighy (Mr. Woodhouse), Johnny Flynn (George Knightley) and Miranda Hart (Miss Bates).

Dear friends! I'm so excited to present the poster for EMMA. photographed by me and designed by the talented folks at @focusfeatures 🍰 // in theaters FEB 2020 // @anyataylorjoy is #EMMA // @emmafilm // #janeausten 's EMMA adapted for the screen by the glorious #eleanorcatton //@workingtitlefilms // @blueprint.pictures

If that isn't enough to steal our attention, the starry adaptation also sees director and photographer Autumn de Wilde at the helm.

With Rodarte's autumn/winter 18 look book and a bunch of Prada fashion films on her resume, the widely-cherished 1815 novel has undergone a Pinterest-worthy makeover.

Expect glorious rolling English countryside, candy-hued interiors and covetable frocks - a feast for every millennial's eyes and iPhone lens.

EMMA - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) HD

For those not familiar with the plot (there's still time to borrow a copy from your local library), the film follows the life of Emma Woodhouse, a "handsome, clever and rich" young woman keen to play mischievous matchmaker for the singletons of her village. 

But while she's preoccupied with ensuring that close friend Harriet marries the local vicar - despite her infatuation with well-to-do farmer Robert Martin - the ever-charming Mr Knightley is pursuing Emma. Cue a tangled web of love, misconstrued romance and a whole load of meddling.

As expected, the trailer is visually exquisite and looks set to remind audiences of Austen's humorous flair.

Of course, it's only fitting that the rom-com be released on February 14, 2020.
