Hattie Morahan confirmed as Elinor Dashwood in S&S07
Alert Janeite Amo spotted confirmation on her agent’s site that Hattie Morahan (IMDB page) will play Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility 2007. Hattie joins Charity Wakefield (IMDB page) as Marianne, also confirmed on the agency site (same agency!) No confirmation yet on the rumor of Dominic Cooper as Edward Ferrars.
Ms. Wakefield’s page says she has “just started” shooting and Ms. Morahan’s page says she is “about to start” shooting. Obviously they must be done casting…we need news!

I think both girls look just great for the parts. Hattie has a sort of quiet, but forthright delicacy about her and Charity looks all implusive warmth.

Oh, Karenlee, I agree! I still wish that the Dashwood sisters were darker (as they are in the book), and am disapointed that the producers seem to have gone with the blonder Winslet/Thompson version-look, but that matters less and less to me, as time goes by. Hattie has a perfect sort of beauty; her high cheekbones look almost like a doe’s.
I do wish that they would announce who has been cast for other roles, though.

Charity will make a great new kate Winslet she can jump right into her boots, no problemo.
