22 Apr – "Fifty Shades of Grey" star Dakota Johnson is set to star in the upcoming retelling of Jane Austen's "Persuasion". The project, to be produced by Netflix and MRC Film, will be helmed by Carrie Cracknell in her feature directorial debut, and may star Johnson as the main character Anne Elliot. According to Deadline, the upcoming retelling will still revolve around the character of Anne Elliot, an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities who lives with her snobby family who are on the brink of bankruptcy. When Frederick Wentworth, a man whose heart she had broken in the past, returns into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or giving herself a second chance.
