Persuasion is a 2007 British television film adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Persuasion. It was directed by Adrian Shergold and the screenplay was written by Simon.

Eventually Anne goes to Bath, and becomes subject to the attentions of Mr. Elliot (Tobias Menzies), a distant cousin who will inherit her father's wealth and title. Mr. Elliot proposes to Anne, who, though still very much in love with Wentworth, does not immediately decline Mr. Elliot's offer. Admiral Croft, having heard a rumour of Mr. Elliot's proposal to Anne, sends Wentworth to ask Anne if she and her new husband require them to quit Kellynch Hall. Anne informs Wentworth that Admiral Croft has been very much misinformed, but in the medley of new arrivals, Wentworth leaves and Anne runs to find him.

On her way, her good friend Harriet (Maisie Dimbleby) reliably informs her that Mr. Elliot is currently also courting Mrs. Clay (Mary Stockley), whom it seemed Anne's father might marry. Harriet tells Anne that Mr.

Elliot desires the baronetcy above all else, and although his admiration for Anne appears genuine, once married to Anne he plans to establish Mrs. Clay as his mistress. This would prevent Mrs. Clay's marriage to Anne's father, thereby preventing the potential birth of a male heir to Sir Walter which would cut off Mr. Elliot's inheritance rights. Wentworth declares his undying love for Anne and proposes to her in a letter. After some frenzied running, Anne runs into Wentworth in the street while he is talking to Charles Musgrove.

There, she accepts Wentworth's proposal and, when he asks her whether she is sure, she says she has never been more determined in her life. The movie skips to Anne and Wentworth in a carriage, Anne blindfolded. Once her blindfold is removed, Anne finds herself standing in front of Kellynch Hall, Wentworth's wedding present to her. The film ends with Wentworth and Anne on the lawn of their new home, dancing together. Production[edit]Conception and adaptation[edit]On 1. November 2. 00. 5, The Guardian's Julia Day reported ITV controller of drama, Nick Elliott, had ordered three new adaptations of Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.[1] Elliot commented that the adaptations would be "important remakes for the new generation".[2] He explained "About every 1.

These films will be very much 2. Her stories always make great TV drama and our Jane Austen season will feature the absolute cream of British acting talent."[2] Elliott revealed that he had deliberately shied away from ordering adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility to focus on Austen's lesser known works.[2] Each of productions were made by a different company, cast and directors, so they had "a distinct look".[3] They were also made to appeal to a younger audience that may have previously switched off other Austen adaptations.[3]Casting[edit]Karen Price from the Western Mail reported ITV had promised the "cream of British acting talent", while they were casting the three adaptations.[4] Actress Sally Hawkins was asked to play Persuasion's protagonist Anne Elliot.[5] Hawkins had studied Austen while she was in school and she revealed that while she was flattered to be asked to play the role, she was initially hesitant about picking up another Austen book again.[5] However, Hawkins re- read Persuasion and "fell in love" with Austen.[5] She then researched the writer, reading her personal letters and biographies.[5][6] Speaking to The Independent's Amy Raphael, Hawkins explained "Jane was an incredible woman. She was only in her early forties when she died. I became convinced that Persuasion was about her own love life; Anne Elliot took the wrong advice and left the man who turned out to be the love of her life. She is the type of woman you'd like to be: reserved, refined, funny. I totally fell in love with her."[6]On 1. September 2. 00. 6, the Western Mail's Nathan Bevan revealed that Spooks actor Rupert Penry- Jones had joined the cast as Captain Wentworth.[7] The role was Penry- Jones' first lead part in a costume drama.

He remarked, "In modern drama everything is so overt. In period drama it's all held in.

You have to find ways to show the feelings straining beneath the surface." The actor added that he enjoyed playing Wentworth "because, beyond his social grace and charm, there's a bitterness and sadness because the love of his life, Anne Elliot, rejected him."[8] Five days later, it was announced that Julia Davis and Anthony Head would be appearing as Elizabeth Elliot and Sir Walter Elliot respectively.[9]Filming[edit]Persuasion was the first of the three adaptations to begin development.[1. For director, ITV hired Adrian Shergold, known for working on "gritty" films such as Pierrepoint (2. Producer David Snodin explained, "Bringing Adrian on board is a statement in itself because he is not known for doing conventional versions of the classics. It is a lot to do with the way he likes the camera to move – it's right in on people's faces – and he is creating something much more contemporary than you'd expect."[1. Shergold only agreed to direct Persuasion after learning of Hawkins' involvement, believing that "she inhabits every inch of the characters she plays. And I love her for it."[1.

Costumes[edit]The costume designer for Persuasion was Andrea Galer.[1. Galer made Anne's outfits simple and basic because she does not join in Bath society.[1.

The designer explained "I wanted her to look in tune with nature. Because we were shooting in winter, I could go for faded autumnal colours for her.

She gets Wentworth back just by her stillness and I wanted to reflect that in her wardrobe."[1. Galer designed a jacket for Hawkins to wear as Anne using a 1. Watch Extraordinary Measures Online Metacritic.
