BBC News have reported that the ITV hit drama Lost in Austen is set to be remade for the cinema by the acclaimed Sam Mendes.
The series told the story of an avid Jane Austen fan who found herself swapping places with characters from the books and entering the world created by Austen.
Sam Mendes, who recently directed and produced the hit film Revolutionary Road starring Kate Winslet, is on board to produce the Lost in Austen remake and writer of the original series, Guy Andrews, will pen the screenplay.
No cast has yet been attached to the film.
Wonderful news! Hope they don't over Hollywoodize it. The UK TV series was perfect. I was lucky to see it via YouTube.
