Leave the gruel. Take the strawberries.
thespoof.com has news of yet another Jane Austen adaptation…
Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn are teaming up yet again in hopes of another summer blockbuster.
[. . ]
This summer they are cast in Martin Scorsese’s abrasive, yet tender rendering of Jane Austen’s “Emma”. Stiller will portray Frank Churchill, love interest for Emma Woodhouse, while Vaughn will play Mr. Knightly, who also fancies Emma.
This playful, poignant romantic story takes a chilling turn under Scorsese’s expert eye, as Churchill is gunned down in broad daylight by heavies from the Knightly family, avenging the death of their patriarch, Don Knightly, who was himself killed three years earlier when Papa Churchill collaborated with the FBI to bring down the Knightly crime family.
And we thought Emma wouldn’t be redone anytime soon!
(Yes, this is satire. Would have been funnier if they had spelled “Knightley” correctly, but still good for a giggle.)
