OtherBetween - Austenland

I briefly mentioned this film in last week's news post, so I though it made sense to make it it our topic of this week's OtherBetween post!

Based on the novel of the same name penned by Shannon Hale, this is the first non-Twilight film Stephenie Meyer produced.  

Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man—perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. But after Jane accidentally reveals her secret to a great aunt, who shortly after dies, Jane gets the opportunity of a life time. In her great aunt's will, Jane's great aunt leaves Jane a trip to a Jane Austen themed getaway destination where Jane hopes to meet her own real life Mr. Darcy.

While at "Austenland," Jane is plagued with self- doubt about pretending to be a woman from the Jane Austen era. However, along the journey Jane makes new friends and a new romantic interest.

The film stars Keri Russell as Jane, as well as Jennifer Coolidge (Stiffler's Mom) and Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman).  After it's premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, it was picked up for distribution by Sony Pictures.
