"I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like."
Welcome to The Emma Adaptations Pages. This resource was founded by Kali Pappas in February, 1997, and has been growing sporadically since. If you want to keep up with the updates, you can watch my blog or join my strangegirl*com updates list. You are also welcome to get in touch.
Hope you all like the "new" design! The title logo was made using Pia Frauss' Jane Austen font and the C.E. Brock frontispiece gem from a 1909 edition of the novel published by Dent/Dutton & Co. Thanks to Cinthia for providing wonderful scans of these Brock watercolors!
What's New?
Lots of new Emma adaptation news!
As of late April, 2009, it's rumored that a sequel to Clueless is in the works, reuniting Alicia Silverstone and Amy Heckerling. Silverstone's reps deny the rumors, while Heckerling's make no comment either way.
Further, the rumors about a new BBC version of Emma are true. This "new" adaptation began filming in April (2009), and will air on BBC1 in the fall. The adaptation will star Romola Garai as Emma, Jonny Lee Miller as Mr. Knightley, and Michael Gambon as Mr. Woodhouse. More Information here.
Rumors about this new, four-part adaptation by Sandy Welch hit the internet in November, 2008. The screenplay has apparently been on hold since the mid-1990s.
There's also a "Bollywood" Emma in the works, according to BollySpice.com: "Anil Kapoor has announced that he will be producing a version of Jane Austen's 'Emma' for [daughter Sonam] to star in..." Sonam Kapoor herself has publicly mentioned her desire to star in an Emma adaptation on at least one occasion. The Kapoors confirmed the film - titled "Ayesha" after its Emmalike heroine - in February, 2009. More details here and here.
Old News
Cinthia's Brock scans and our usual assortment of Emma images are available in our new Image & Video Gallery. I've also added some illustrations from 1948 and 1964 edition of Emma provided by Laurel Ann, a couple of new Emma 2 videos, several of Vianne's fabulous (and my own not-so-fabulous) Emma 2 screencaps, and a crapload of Emma 3 screencaps.
Emma 3 aired on March 23, 2008 in the U.S. as a part of the "Complete Jane Austen" series on Masterpiece Theatre.
Laurel Ann and Ms. Place of the wonderful Jane Austen Today blog kindly invited me to share some notes and images regarding the fashions from this adaptation with their blog audience. If you'd like to check out the article, it's here.
This isn't really Emma news, but it is Austen news. In October, 2008, I wrote a light look at the costuming in the 1986 and 2007 adaptations of Northanger Abbey for Laurel Ann's excellent Austenprose blog. Take a look, if you're interested.
