(Anonymous) 2023-03-19 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)Oh shit I know what you're saying now. Yes it would be great if there was a modern version as fun as Bridget Jones 1 (and ironically a Bridget Jones like character would work well in an adapted Anne role).
Honestly, 2022 Persuasion should have been trying for this - the Fleabag-esque 4th wall breaking and hot messiness of Anne would have worked much better in a modern version. It still likely would have been a total trainwreck but at least it wouldn't have been as insulting as what we actually got.
Personally Clueless is my favourite modern JA adaptation. Obviously a highschool setting wouldn't exactly work for Persuasion (maybe late college at the earliest?), but if someone could write a script as excellent as that (see also Easy A) for it we could be in business. The challenge would of course be balancing the poignant pining romance with humour...
