Sony Reschedules Jane Austen Themed Movie

Austen-tatious News Alert

Hold onto your bonnets, dear readers, for Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is twirling onto screens with a fresh date. Sony Pictures Classics has set its theatrical waltz to begin May 23, 2025, with a nationwide encore May 30.

Like a heroine arriving fashionably late to a ball, this rom-com is ready to charm. Prepare for wit, whimsy, and a whole lot of bookish blushing.

From Paris with Love

Meet Agathe, a hopeless romantic and proud bookseller at the iconic Shakespeare & Co. Her story begins not in a ballroom, but among the dusty tomes of literary legends.

An invitation to a Jane Austen writers’ retreat in England sends her spiraling into a novel-worthy plot. One that involves love, confusion, and hopefully, a few well-timed confessions in the rain.

A Star-Studded Affair

Camille Rutherford leads with grace and mischief as our modern-day Austenian heroine. She’s got the kind of quiet brilliance that would’ve impressed even Mr. Darcy.

Alongside her are Pablo Pauly and Charlie Anson, not to mention a few scene-stealers worth swooning for. Austen said it best—there is no charm equal to the tender charm of talent.

Director’s Debut Delight

Laura Piani, in her debut, paints a world that feels pulled from the pages of an Austen sequel. Her lens brings books, hearts, and imaginations to life.

Having worked at Shakespeare & Co., she knows her heroines and heartbreaks intimately. It’s like watching Lizzy Bennet direct her own tale, with a wink and a pen.

Festival Favorite

The film took its first spin at TIFF 2024, where critics swooned and sighed with delight. It also graced the Santa Barbara International Film Festival as a true belle of the cinematic ball.

Audiences adored its humor, charm, and literary flair. Consider it your next must-watch, even if you’ve never once fancied a bonnet.

A Tale of Two Languages

With French and English twirling together, the dialogue dances like a Regency waltz. The mix adds flavor, charm, and just enough flirtation for Austen herself to applaud.

No language barrier can stop a good love story—especially when it comes with croissants and confessions. It’s a celebration of love transcending language barriers.

Behind the Scenes Magic

Filmed entirely in France, the scenery deserves its own credit line—it’s just that dreamy. The picturesque settings add a romantic backdrop to Agathe’s journey.

The film’s production was a collaborative effort between Les Films Du Veyrier and Sciapode. The shoot wrapped in November 2023, capturing fall romance with precision.

Music to Courtship

Composer Peter Von Poehl sets the tone with delicate melodies and swoon-worthy scores. The soundtrack whispers of letters never sent and gazes never returned.

His music wraps around the film like a warm blanket and a love note. It’s the kind of score Jane herself might’ve hummed while writing.

A Literary Love Letter

The film pays homage to Jane Austen’s timeless themes of love and self-discovery. Agathe’s journey mirrors the complexities faced by Austen’s heroines.

Austen’s themes of longing, wit, and womanhood echo throughout. Agathe might not live in the 1800s, but her spirit sure does. One foot in modern Paris, the other in Pemberley.

Bonjour to the World

After dazzling France on January 22, 2025, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life prepares for its global bow. Sony Pictures Classics has scooped up rights like an eager reader with a new book.

Its themes—love, identity, and the absurdity of feelings—are universal. You don’t need to know Austen; just bring your heart.

A Strategic Move in the Game of Releases

Originally, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life was set to charm theaters on May 16. But that weekend was already buzzing with big names and bolder genres.

It would’ve shared the spotlight with Hurry Up Tomorrow starring The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega, and Final Destination: Bloodlines. Instead of dueling at the box office, it elegantly stepped aside like a true Austen lady.

Powered by Passion and Parisian Partners

Behind Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is producer Gabrielle Dumon, bringing strong storytelling vibes and indie heart. Her work quietly shapes the emotional core while letting the story shine loud.

French broadcasters CANAL+ and CINÉ helped finance the film, giving it an international edge. It’s a cross-border team-up that adds a little sparkle to the screen.

Confidence in the Right Hands

The Bureau Sales proudly handed over the film to Sony Pictures Classics, calling it a perfect match. They praised SPC’s track record with literary stories and trusted them to guide this debut with finesse.

Laura Piani’s first feature is in expert hands, and that’s giving everyone involved some serious peace of mind. With SPC’s seasoned storytelling magic, this one’s set to leave a lasting mark.

A Rock Star Reimagined

Sony Pictures Classics called it like they see it—Jane Austen’s basically a rock star these days. And this fresh, high-quality spin is ready to charm theater crowds from coast to coast.

They believe Jane Austen Wrecked My Life has that rare mix of warmth and wit audiences adore. It’s not just another period piece—it’s a love letter with a modern beat.

Sony’s Kraven stumble has fans wondering if the studio’s superhero magic is fading.

Ready for the Big Screen

With a fresh May release and plenty of festival praise, this is one date to circle in red ink. Or better yet, write it in your planner with a quill.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is equal parts modern romance and literary love fest. Trust us—you’ll want to see how Agathe’s story ends.
