The first official trailer has been released for Greta Gerwig’s upcoming take on Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. The star-studded remake will hit cinemas in December.
The film is the eighth adaptation of the classic tale that follows the March sisters living in 1860s century New England. In her newest release, Gerwig reunites with Lady Bird’s Saoirse Ronan (cast as Jo) and Timothée Chalamet (starring as Laurie).
The film also features Meryl Streep as Aunt March and Laura Dern as Marmee. Other stars that make their appearance on the trailer include Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen and Florence Pugh as Meg, Beth and Amy.
The new spin on the beloved coming-of-age story is a treat to all book lovers. Some fans, however, have criticised Emma Watson’s performance, sharing tweets like: “emma watson terrorising yet another beloved book adaptation with her American accent” and “emma watson’s american accent locked up in azkaban”.
The British actress was brought in as a replacement for Emma Stone, who was originally meant to portray Meg, but left due to scheduling problems.
Greta Gerwig’s Little Women is out in the US on Christmas Day and in the UK on Boxing Day.
