Jane Austen Adaptations You Haven't Seen Yet
February 25, 2009
We thought this was so funny it deserved to not be lumped in with the zombies and predators. Cara King has explained that every one of the Best Picture nominees at the Academy Awards this year were actually written by Jane Austen!
Jane Austen’s SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
No one who had ever seen this slumdog in his infancy would have supposed him born to be a millionaire. His situation in life, the poverty of his father and mother, his predatory elder brother, were all equally against him.
Ha! Go read the whole thing, it’s great!

Really funny!
Oh, that is very well done! I especially loved the one for The Reader.
Oh how original and funny! I loved it!
I clicked on the Trek links & read all of Cara’s cross-genre posts–very very clever!
Those are excellent! I can’t place the Frost/Nixon reference though, and it’s kind of killing me.
LeSpinster–it’s Emma and Frank Churchill discussing Frank’s acquaintance with Jane Fairfax at Weymouth.
LOL!!
My favourite is the first one.
They are all excellent of course.
Thanks, Mags. I guess the mention of “reserve” really should’ve given it away.
It was the “you answer as discreetly as G. Gordon Liddy himself” that was the giveaway for me.
