Because life loves me sometimes:

Sally Wainwright is going to direct a movie about the Brontes!. Filming to start this month in Yorkshire. The names of the actresses don't sound familiar, but Patrick is played by Jonathan Pryce, which, yay! And Sally Wainwright sounds ideal.

Meanwhile, the BBC and Netflix are going to co-produce a four part miniseries version of Watership Down, with James MacAvoy voicing Hazel, Nicholas Hoult Fiver (so, someone in the casting department really liked X-Men: Days of Future Past, huh?), John Boyega Bigwig and Ben Kingsley General Woundwort. This article also lists Olivia Colman as Strawberry. (A genderbent Strawberry I can see, but you can't change the gender of too many other rabbits without a major plot point/motivation needing to change, i.e. the reason why the rabbits go to Efrafra.)

Fannish life is gooood right now, I tell you....
