A new version of Jane Austen s Persuasion is to be released. It features American Dakota Johnson playing the heroine Anne Elliott, and is a different take on the novel.
"There's always the one that got away. 'Persuasion', starring Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis and Henry Golding, based on the beloved Jane Austen novel-arrives on Netflix July 15," Netflix Film tweeted.
"I almost got married once. There were no two souls more in rhythm than Wentworth and I. And I was persuaded by my family to give him up," says Dakota Johnson in the trailer for the upcoming period drama, Persuasion.
Director Carrie Cracknell hopes their playfully witty riff on ‘Persuasion’ coming to Netflix in July will introduce Austen’s tale to a whole new generation.
