Pinup, vintage fashion, vintage home, Jane Austen's Emma, and Miracles from Molecules!
My good friend Laurel Ann is conducting another superb themed event at her Austenprose blog, this time centered upon Jane Austen’s epistolary novella Lady Susan. From September 1-14, participate in a group read and enjoy insights from LA and her various guest bloggers.
PS – I did the title graphics. Go ahead and tell us how wonderful they are. (JK!)
I keep seeing different title spellings for the Sonam Kapoor “Emma” adaptation. Ayesha? Aisha? Blah. Anyway, two more fluff pieces about the star…
Your next film is an adaptation of Emma. Tell us something more about it.
I love Jane Austen’s novels. I was chatting with a friend about how Austen’s novels like Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma would make great women-centric films. Emma was Austen’s favourite book and heroine and she is the most realistic character that she wrote.Coincidentally, and soon after, I heard from a girl who went to UWC who said she had a script and wanted to talk to me for the part of Aisha. The film may be called Aisha, but it is a love story between two people that’s set in Delhi. It is being produced by Anil Kapoor Productions, directed by Rajshree Ojha (who earlier made Chaurahen and Badger), co-stars Abhay Deol and the crew has members from four countries.
From UPI.com, information about a new and interesting novel-allusion to Emma and an old, short piece about Romola Garai in Emma4.
