'Sense & Sensibility' Officially Sets Home Release Date

Jane Austen is irresistible to Hollywood, her work cannot be rejected and if we’re honest, it’s not difficult to understand why, two centuries later, her wonderfully complicated characters are still making audiences fall head over heels in love with the tales of romance, heartbreak, the original meet-cutes and the occasional, spectacular misunderstanding.

Pride and Prejudice has had most of the attention over the years, but for us, another one stands out from the crowd, and with its home release just around the corner, audiences can get another glimpse of the Dashwood sisters’ romantic adventures in the newest big-screen makeover of one of Austen’s most beloved novels.

Collider is thrilled to debut an exclusive sneak peek from Focus Features and Working Title’s Sense and Sensibility, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles, ahead of the movie’s November 3 home release. The latest adaptation of Austen’s classic novel brings the complicated lives and relationships of the Dashwood sisters back to the screen, and our sneak peek gives us all a look at the gorgeous period setting, with the elegant gatherings, majestic costuming and, of course, the sisters — especially Elinor — trying to figure out how to navigate the evolving social world around them.
