Handsome, clever and rich, young Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a restless socialite without rival in her sleepy 19th century English town. To occupy herself, she resorts to meddling in the lives of her friends and family – specifically their love lives. As she adventures through misguided matches and romantic missteps, Emma must learn to listen to her own heart.

It may be a sprightly 205-years-old, but Jane Austen’s Emma doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Austen’s literary classic has already spawned film and TV adaptations, modernisations, plays, musicals, spin-off novels and even comic books – and here comes the latest.

In this reimagining of the beloved comedy, Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Split, and most recently of The Queen's Gambit fame) takes on the title role, with acclaimed photographer Autumn de Wilde making her directorial debut (so you know the film is going to be gorgeous, if nothing else).
