Charlie RoseHOST
He was not necessarily ready to see another version because he thought the definitive version had been done.
Gary OldmanGUEST
Yes, and I think that he met with Tim Bevin at Working Title, and Robin Slovo, the producer, and Tomas, and was won over and was charmed.
Gary OldmanGUEST
And I thought he did a very classy thing.
Gary OldmanGUEST
He said to Thomas, please don't make the book.
Dan SlevinGUEST
The screenplay is by Diana Reid, and this is only her first produced screenplay.
Dan SlevinGUEST
So there's not a huge sort of track record to work on, although it's produced by working title films out of the UK, Tim Bevan and Eric Felner.
Dan SlevinGUEST
Their track record is absolutely outstanding.
Dan SlevinGUEST
Yeah, incredible.
Arnaud PotierGUEST
So I was living in London at that time, and she was London-based as well.
Arnaud PotierGUEST
So we saw each other at Working Title, the production company, and I spent an hour sitting, talking, and talking about the movie, how I see it.
Arnaud PotierGUEST
And the next day, they offered me the job.
Les GaddisHOST
wow that's awesome so um like talking about prep um why film what was the deciding factor
VanessaHOST
All right, let's talk about the movie itself.
VanessaHOST
The new Sense and Sensibility is a Focus Features and Working Title production.
VanessaHOST
If those names sound familiar, that's because they're the team behind the 2005 Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and the 2020 Emma with Anna Taylor-Joy.
VanessaHOST
This is their third Austen together.
BradyHOST
A big one coming out this weekend is Sense and Sensibility.
BradyHOST
This is being produced by Focus Features and Working Title, being marketed as an irresistible new take on Jane Austen's iconic Sense and Sensibility, a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood starring Daisy Edgar Jones and Esme Creed Miles.
BradyHOST
So obviously, Daisy Edgar Jones, this is a big shot for her.
BradyHOST
You might know her from Twisters, which was pretty big, where she co-starred with Glenn Powell.
Morgann BookHOST
Yeah.
Daisy Edgar-JonesGUEST
And I think I had a real, like, moment of marking that it was a really special thing for, for me to take part in a working title adaptation of a Jane Austen novel with a director like Georgia, with a cast like George and Esme.
Daisy Edgar-JonesGUEST
And yeah, for me, it really was, it felt quite cosmic and magic to be, to be there making the film.
Morgann BookHOST
And it felt so magical watching it yesterday.
9 MINS LATER
Georgia OakleyGUEST
And, you know, I grew up watching the 2005 Pride and Prejudice and also the 1995 Sense and Sensibility, and I...
Georgia OakleyGUEST
So those films were very much like in my, in my mind, but I, I just loved that this story was t- the whole shape t- is taken from the relationship between these two sisters and what they learn from each other, and that was what I wanted to kind of dive into.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
And, um, I guess there's also a strange backstory, which is that my first ever experience on a film set was on a working title period film when I was 17, and now I'm 37.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
So it was, yeah, it was a, it was a strange kind of circular thing to come to this project and be working with the same team who had made that film, um, which was really exciting as well.
Jake ShaneHOST
What did, what did it feel like when you got the offer?
Daisy Edgar-JonesGUEST
Oh, it's like if I, if you'd told me, like, at five what would be your dream dream dream job, it would be to do a, a Regency Jane Austen movie with Working Title, who is my, one of my favorite production companies.
Daisy Edgar-JonesGUEST
They, d- you know, gave us Love Actually.
Daisy Edgar-JonesGUEST
They gave us Notting Hill.
Gigi HawkinsHOST
How did you become attached to the project?
Georgia OakleyGUEST
So I was approached by Working Title who had already been working on a script with Diana Reid for, I don't know, maybe six months or something.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
They had a couple of drafts and they asked me if I, no, they sent me a letter and I remember it really well because I thought I was being offered the job, but actually my agents were like, no, no, you have to like fly over there and like tell them your ideas.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Yeah.
Tim BevanHOST
My name is Tim Bevan.
Tim BevanHOST
I am a film producer, and along with Eric Fellner, run Working Title, one of Britain's leading production companies.
Tim BevanHOST
We've produced over 100 movies, from Four Weddings and a Funeral to Shaun of the Dead, from Atonement to the Sheep Detectives movie.
Tim BevanHOST
This series will be about Sense and Sensibility.
Tim BevanHOST
Over the course of seven episodes, I, along with my fellow producers Joe Wallett and India Flint, will take you through the filmmaking process with the various people who made the movie, from lead actress to costume designer.
Tim BevanHOST
Our aim is to get under the bonnet of each part of the journey with those who have lived it.
Tim BevanHOST
We're going to kick off with a conversation between myself, India, screenwriter Diana Reid, and Working Title development executive Thea Paulett, talking about how the project began.
India FlintHOST
[classical music] Hi, I'm India Flint, and I'm one of the producers.
Kharmel CochraneGUEST
Hi, I'm Kharmel Cochrane, and I'm the casting director.
Tim BevanHOST
George, you were a bit of a thesp, weren't you? Isn't that the first time you came across Working Title?
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Yes, when I was an extra on atonement.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Actually a probationary nurse and it was a summer job.
18 MINS LATER
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Very different.
Tim BevanHOST
And her other man, Herbert.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
Herbert was actually suggested by Thea at Working Title, and I loved him in The Worst Person in the World, but I saw him as being quite smiley and sort of humorous, and I wasn't sure that that was the right Colonel Brandon energy initially.
Georgia OakleyGUEST
I met him, and he'd been filming this Norwegian film in the mountains.
