Anyone still in the mood for another Jane Austen adaptation?
Lost in Austen, a 2008 4-part miniseries plays a little time travel with our beloved heroine. I can't imagine that Jane would have ever dreamed that her cherished novels would touch so many readers and inspire so many varieties of films (see other movies based on Jane) Although some critics and Janeites are predicting this new film to be a disappointment, it still might be fun to watch!
Here's the plot:
Amanda (Jemima Rooper), an ardent Jane Austen fan, lives in present day London with her boyfriend Michael, until she finds she's swapped places with Elizabeth Bennett (Gemma Arterton). Read more on ITV site
[I thought it would be cheesy throughout but there's sentimental moments that draw you in before they zap you with a comedic turn! Jemima Rooper is fun to watch as the spunky Amanda! ]

[Full version - includes scene where Amanda sings Downtown
which was deleted from some DVD editions]
