Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London played host this evening to the World Premiere of Sense and Sensibility, as Focus Features and Working Title brought their fresh, emotionally resonant reimagining of Jane Austen’s beloved novel to the big screen. The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Frank Dillane, George MacKay, Fiona Shaw, Herbert Nordrum and Bodhi Rae Breathnach; it was written by Diana Reid, based on the novel by Jane Austen, and directed by Georgia Oakley.

Sense and Sensibility will be released in cinemas across the UK on 25th September 2026. Colin Hart and Abigail Shii were on the red carpet, here are their interviews.

When their father’s sudden death leaves the Dashwood sisters without fortune or home, practical Elinor Dashwood and passionate Marianne Dashwood must leave their family estate and adjust to a life of reduced means. As they navigate romance, financial uncertainty and the rigid social expectations of 18th-century England, the sisters’ contrasting approaches to love and loss — one guided by restraint, the other by feeling — are tested to breaking point.
