Emma 2009 from BBC

I didn't think anything from the Gwyneth Paltrow/Jeremy Northam version could be improved upon, but I loved this new adaptation. I had to admit that when I heard the main character would be played by Romola Garai, I was a bit skeptical. It's not because I don't think she is a good actor- I actually think she is brilliant. I couldn't envision her as Emma. I was wrong. She did a great job. There were a lot of things I didn't like about this adaptation, but there were also many things I loved about it. It really throws new light on different aspects of the story that I hadn't thought of before. This is scheduled to for Masterpiece on PBS in 2010 (I believe January 24,2010). It is definitely worth a look!

Here is the trailer for it. I think even the trailer is fun to watch:
