Awwww yeah. On the heels of the disastrously bad Hollywooding of Pride and Prejudice, British screenwriter Andrew Davies is going to take a crack at Sense and Sensibility. Davies is the guy who wrote the amazing BBC miniseries version of P&P, and my Austen-loving heart is all aflutter at the news of his latest project. BBC News has the skinny:

He rejected the idea that Austen had been overexposed in the last decade after Pride and Prejudice sparked a craze for Austen dramas.

"You can cut Jane Austen so many ways and I think people still want to return to them," he said. "Who wants to see all these action movies all the time?

"There is a different audience out there apart from 12- to 14-year-old boys and I think a lot of the stories that people like to see now were written in the 19th Century or before.

I suppose it is still a good time to be a Jane Austen fan.
