But why is Little Women such a hot commodity all of a sudden lol? Not only is there that "modern-ized" version coming out later this year (that will make a grand total of $16 but still) but there was also a recent TV adaptation too.

They should at least adapt the musical so we get something a little different than all of the other adaptations of this

apparently it's a "very greta gerwig" take on the material so we can expect that jo march is very awkward, quirky and relatable and has every Smiths record on vinyl or whatever.

It was first published (in two volumes) in 1868 and 1869, so 150th anniversary buzz.

 

Anyway, if Hollywood keeps giving us new versions of Spider-Man or Batman, why not more Little Women? I really like the assembled cast so far, even if I'm not sure about all of them in their roles (Emma Stone? And Chalamet seems a bit...awkward for Laurie).

 

Now, I wouldn't mind LW getting an updated treatment, like you see with Shakespeare, setting the story in a completely different time and place, but it works because the themes were so universal. Or even setting it during the Civil War but tweaking it so the family is black (America had middle class and even upper middle black people by then), but social media and the thinkpieces would be exhausting. Even with the cast as it is, you have people unhappy about the cast not being inclusive enough because this is where we are now.

How many lily white adaptations of LW do we need though? At least if they went Hamilton with this then it would instantly stand out and at the hands of an adept creative team, even introduce refreshing and fascinating new dynamics to the story.

This thread is funny!

 

Anyway, Tymothy Chalawhatshisface is what?

Why is this utterly bland skinny dude all the rage now? 

#MeToo hasn't targeted enough Hollywood pederasts yet :ph34r:

 

Though in this particular case, it just seems like Gerwig wanting to work again with some of her Lady Bird actors.
