Are you excited that she's going to play Emma Woodhouse - A Jane Austen heroine?

I'm both excited and nervous. I love Austen and I'm always worried about new adaptations of her novels. I think Romola will do well.

I'm actually on tenterhooks in case they treat the novel too liberally, then the actors in particular Romola may have to bear the brunt of the purists wrath :( I jus wish the same team that did P&P95 is doing this too - that'd be fantastic :) But I've complete faith in Romola though, she's amazing! You hear about her other projects - '1939'? and 'flying into love'?
