Austenites, ready your engines! Love & Friendship, based off of Jane Austen’s novella Lady Susan, just released a trailer that hints at a film both witty and lush.
Kate Beckinsale stars as Lady Susan, a self-pitying and beautiful widow known as “the most accomplished flirt in all England.” When she arrives at the large estate of her in-laws, it's only natural that drama ensues. Director and writer Whit Stillman takes on this comic tale with relish, as does Beckinsale and co-star Chloe Sevigny as Lady Susan’s best friend, both reunited with Stillman after being in The Last Days of Disco together in 1998.
If the trailer is anything to go by, be sure to catch Love & Friendship when it hits theaters on May 13.
