The new film in question, Persuasion, will be an adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1817 novel. There won’t be any corsets, calling cards or horse-drawn carriages – this version will be set in the present day. The plot, however, is classic Austen: Anne Elliot, a young woman from a wealthy family (Dakota Johnson), crosses paths with her former fiancé, the formerly impoverished Captain Frederick Wentworth (Henry Golding) after a seven-year separation.
