Sense and Sensibilidad a go for February 2008
Alert Janeite Lisa sent us an entry on Production Charts for Sense & Sensibilidad that lists it as filming in February 2008.
A contemporary adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility,” focusing on a modern Mexican family in Los Angeles. It is the tale of two sisters: Mary, a young beauty who chooses passion over logic and Nora, a law student whose fixed moral compass keeps her from following her desires. They are uprooted, along with their mother, from their luxurious lifestyle in San Marino when their father suddenly passes away. Out of money and out of options, the women move into their great aunt Aurelia’s modest, but lively home in the Latino-centric Boyle Heights neighborhood. The women find themselves thrown into a world that, despite their heritage, seems completely foreign. However, over time, they uncover the joy, laughter and beauty of the culture they once fought so desperately to hide. In the process they find the one thing that eluded them: love.

OMG. Is this for real? It is. OSJ, Hail Mary and all that rot. Jane Mania has taken over Hollywood Sense and Cents, and nothing’s gonna stop them.

Umm….if they can do a good Bollywood version of P&P why can’t they do a good Latin version of S&S?
