Caitriona Balfe and George MacKay are among the novel cast for Georgia Oakley’s Sense And Sensibility, which has started production in the UK for Focus Features and Working Title Films.
Frank Dillane, Herbert Nordrum, Bodhi Rae Breathnach and Fiona Shaw have also joined the cast, alongside previously announced members Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esme Creed-Miles as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood.
UK filmmaker Oakley is directing from a script by Australian author Diana Reid, based on Jane Austen’s 1811 novel. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are producing for Working Title, with India Flint of November Pictures and Jo Wallett.
The story follows the Dashwood sisters as they tackle love, loss and financial uncertainty amid the societal expectations of 18th-century England.
Dillane recently won the Un Certain Regard best actor award for Harris Dickinson’s Cannes title Urchin; while MacKay will soon be seen opposite Callum Turner in Mark Jenkin’s Rose of Nevada.
Edgar-Jones, Creed-Miles and MacKay have all previously been named Screen UK & Ireland Stars of Tomorrow.
