Dakota Johnson stars in the first trailer for 'Persuasion,' a new Netflix film based on the acclaimed Jane Austen novel.

Netflix just released the trailer for their adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion and it looks like everything a Jane Austen fan could want and more.

But the best part of Austen is making it your own and the creators seemed to have done that in the best way possible. And I don’t think Austen would have used the term “exes.” And while it’s hard to tell from the trailer alone, you can still feel the tension between them. The two are pretty much forced to spend time together and what at first is awkward becomes cordial and friendly. Cut to Captain Wentworth played by Cosmo Jarvis. This is the man Anne was forced to give up as a young girl because he was too poor and had no connections. Considering the family is bleeding money and he doesn’t care much for his children, he is anything but perfect.
