ET has your first look at the trailer for Greta Gerwig's adaptation ofstar, Saoirse Ronan, for a new take on Louisa May Alcott's classic. This first footage follows Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen as the March sisters, four independent, imaginative, ahead-of-their-time young women coming of age in the 1860s.
"Re-reading it now for the film, it's so radical and so incredibly modern," Laura Dern, who plays the girls' mother Marmee, says of revisiting Alcott's novel, while Ronan adds:"The story [is] so relevant now to the confidence that women have in themselves and in taking their own path." Now, Gerwig and her leading ladies are leaning into that spirit."We've got ambition and talent as well as just beauty," Ronan's Jo says in the clip."I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it."
Timothée Chalamet co-stars as Laurie Laurence, the lovesick boy next door, and Meryl Streep is Aunt March. The film promises to be an uplifting, irreverent take on the story, full of laughter and love and biting one-liners from Streep. Check back Tuesday morning when the trailer is released in full.

Will be criticised for not been inclusive of race, another attempt to get an Oscar nomination. So predictable! Too many adaptations of this book in recent years.
Just how little are these women?

Not sure how I feel about this. It was a gracious gesture of course.
