Dakota Johnson’s new film trailer is here! Popular actress Dakota Johnson is back, and this time in a classic tale! As she takes on a rather subversive take on Jane Austen’s classic, Persuasion, fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts about the newly released trailer. Many have compared Dakota’s character in the forthcoming movie with the hit series, Fleabag!
It seems like some fans are not quite impressed with how the character of Anne Elliot, played by Johnson, has been portrayed in the Netflix adaptation. Many have pointed out how it has changed the plot and the very essence of the story. Several Jane Austen readers have further added how the classic tale of love has been reduced to a teen drama, and they sure are not liking it.
The Trailer Has Caused Quite a Stir On Twitter!
Dakota Johnson’s new film trailer has already been subjected to some backlash as many days that while the adaptation looks like a good movie, it comes off as a poor adaption of Austen’s work in all its entirety. Persuasion will soon premiere on Netflix on July 15. The trailer of the upcoming movie is given below if you haven’t already seen it! As the trailer assured fans about a timeless love story, we all can see a romance brewing after all!
Apart from fans, author Brandon Taylor has also expressed anger towards the adaptation stating how “Persuasion is not Emma. Why have they tried to turn Persuasion into Emma? WHY,”! The trailer has surely caused a storm on social media, as Twitter is filled with comments that express anger about how the very essence of the classic novel is missing from the forthcoming movie.
The upcoming Netflix film is based on the 1816 Jane Austin classic novel Persuasion. The classic creation has been praised for decades for its timeless depiction of love, second chances, and emotional depth, which still is relevant to its readers. Jane Austin penned down the novel shortly before passing in 1817.
