Anne--->

Fanny (looking... blowsy. And busty!)--->

There's going to be a "contemporary, Latino version" of Austen's Sense and Sensibility, called Sense and Senibilidad. It will be set in Los Angeles and directed by Fina Torres.

And, best of all, we've learned that Anthony Stewart Head (GILES!!!) will be playing Sir Walter Elliot in the upcoming Persuasion TV movie. That, my friends, is spot-on casting.
