So many authors are still waiting for their stories to be adapted. Netflix: “Let’s do another Pride and Prejudice adaptation” 😳 Like… we already have two perfect versions.
I honestly can’t imagine a better Lizzy than Keira Knightley 🥲
This is stupid. Netflix is in it for the money, not for the art. They are acting accordingly.
Totally agree here — it’s such a shame, because Netflix actually has the power to invest in fresh, exciting voices and stories.
And okay, maybe if they were offering some “new vision” of the adaptation… but no. They literally said they want to “faithfully recreate the original story.”
I mean… Austen herself doesn’t exactly need more royalties at this point 😅

And neither she nor her estate will be getting any, which is at least part of the point.
I want to see the black company adapted even as an rts/xcom game
lol, I was going to say “I thought I heard years ago or something that Eliza dushkus production company picked up the rights to the adaptation” but then checked and that was around 7 years ago, so I don’t think it’s moving forward
Edit: Myth: the fallen lords and Myth 2: soulblighter are heavily inspired by the black company, though dated at this point

Jennifer Ehle would like to have a word with you.
