Jane Austen Persuasion gets the Netflix treatment in new adaptation starring Dakota Johnson - but some fans aren't happy

1960s films “Marnie” and “The Birds.”The “Fifty Shades of Gray” alum, 32, noted in a recent Vanity Fair profile that Hitchcock gave Griffith, 64, a mini Hedren stuck in a small coffin as a toy for Christmas.“What happened with my grandmother was horrific because Hitchcock was a tyrant,” Johnson said. “He was talented and prolific — and important in terms of art — but power can poison people.”She noted that the traumatizing gift was “alarming and dark and really, really sad for that little girl” and “really scary.”The “21 Jump Street” actress then looked back on the 2012 HBO drama, “The Girl,” which fictionalized the contentious relationship between the “Psycho” filmmaker and Hedren, 92, during filming “The Birds.”Johnson and her grandmother saw a private screening of the movie with the rest of their family.“We sat at HBO, my family, and watched that movie together,” she said.Johnson continued, “It was one of those moments where you’re just like, how could you not have warned us? We’re in a room with some execs.

The next movie in the “Spider-Man” universe is getting going.

The recently accepted fashion of populating period British romantic melodramas with actors of color, notably in Netflix’s ongoing hit series Bridgerton, continues with Mr. Malcolm’s List, a nicely decked-out, dramatically conventional tale of Regency-period matchmaking dizzily spinning out of the participants’ control. Admittedly “loosely inspired” by Pride and Prejudice, this modestly scaled venture deep into Jane Austen territory is bedraped with sumptuous estates and elaborately accoutered young men and women forever gossiping and arguing in the poshest possible accents. As familiar as the genre’s conventions may be, they never seem to get old with audiences, who can be counted upon to lap up this Bleecker Street release when it opens July 1, both in theaters and online.

Succession crew. It sounds chaotic in theory, but Johnson shows us how it's done: Her cream crochet bra—worn as a top, of course—is flirty and fun, but it gets an upscale edge when paired with a skirt suit, a simple gold necklace, and chic sunglasses. PR agency the Honeyman Agency identified the ensemble as being from the brand , though Johnson's stylist Kate Young hasn't confirmed yet. In the meantime, please enjoy the look for yourself:A bra as a top, a bandeau top, or a bra under a sheer top is quickly becoming a regular style staple. for a red carpet, while for her brother's wedding.

Dakota Johnson leaves her hotel in a sharp velvet suit in New York City on Tuesday (June 14).

Wilson Chapman editorNetflix has released the first trailer for “Persuasion,” the upcoming period film starring Dakota Johnson, based on the classic 1817 Jane Austen novel.Published after Austen’s death, “Persuasion” was the final completed work of the writer (who, as the trailer for the film reminds us, also penned “Emma” and “Pride & Prejudice”), and is considered one of her most mature and sophisticated novels. The story revolves around Anne Elliot (played by Dakota Johnson in the film), an isolated 27-year-old struggling to move on after she broke her engagement with Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), after being persuaded by family friend Lady Russell (Nikki Amuka-Bird).After seven years, the two come back into each other’s orbit when Anne’s family rents their home to his sister and her husband.

Dakota Johnson is the latest actress to embody one of Jane Austen’s leading ladies in the trailer for the upcoming Netflix adaptation of “Persuasion.”Johnson plays Anne Elliot, an overlooked middle daughter who is nonetheless incredibly insightful and clever — if easily persuaded. Surrounded by her entitled relatives, she is on her own when faced with the return of the dashing, self-made Captain Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), with whom she broke off her engagement nearly a decade prior at the behest of those around her deeming it a degrading match.The trailer, which you can watch above, is full of heartfelt and also hilarious moments as Johnson’s Anne navigates her rekindling romance, as well as the emergence of a potential new romance with William Elliot (Henry Golding). It’s by no means easy, but Anne is determined to figure it out without letting other people’s opinions cloud her judgment this time.

Vanity Fair Oscars party this year, the actor’s wardrobe is brimming with unique statement pieces. But Dakota loves a good suit, too.

When thinking of high society and complicated romance in art, one of the first names to come to mind is Jane Austen. Just about since cinema has been around, her work is the subject of adaptation time and time again.
