‘The Odyssey’ cast go behind the sacking of Troy and the scene that surprised Matt Damon - Entertainment Weekly

Guys, step aside•Published Oct 7, 2026Focus FeaturesLast year, a slew of Jane Austen adaptations were announced, among them my favorite book, Pride and Prejudice, coming to Netflix, and Sense and Sensibility, Austen's first novel that debuted in 1811, coming to theaters October 16. I was puzzled over the former, because Joe Wright's 2005 film starring Keira Knightley is absolute perfection. (Also, 2005? That's recent memory, but somehow still 21 years.) But as for Sense and Sensibility, the last movie adaptation was 1995's starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman, and so I was curious to see how the next generation would carry the torch. In this new rendition led by Daisy Edgar-Jones, I found something so passionate it bordered on violence, and reminded me of the singularity of this Austen work in that rather than put romance at the center of the plot, it's an ode to sisterhood. Focus FeaturesFor the uninitiated Austenites, Sense and Sensibility follows Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who, after their father's death, are consigned to a life of genteel poverty.
