Now, as theaters re-open around the world, Little Women generated $760,000 over the weekend from 13 markets. A majority of those ticket sales came from Japan.

It is important to remember that most studios aren’t even reporting box office grosses since so few countries took down restrictions. The small number of movie theaters that did resume business have relied on past hits like The Greatest Showman and Harry Potter to draw audiences.

Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen as the four sisters, alongside Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, and Timothée Chalamet. It is the fourth film adaptation of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel of the same name. The film received six Academy award nominations and won the award for Best Costume Design at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards. 

It remains unclear when cinemas will re-open worldwide.

Well, Little Women helmer Greta Gerwig talked about the process of bringing a new version to life (for the seventh time) in a Q&A after an Awardsline screening of the film.

The most important thing for her was to delve deep into the source material, that is Louisa May Alcott’s 19th-century novel.

“The last time I had read it was at 14,” she recalled. “Then, I read it when I was 30, and I felt like I had never read it before. I couldn’t believe how modern and pressing and urgent the message of the book was. There seemed to be all these themes running underneath it that were right there about women and authorship and ownership and art and ambition and money. I just thought, ‘Oh — this is all the stuff that I’m interested in.’ And it was right here in this book that I loved so much, but I never really noticed it.”

She also made it a point to film in on location, that is Concord, where Alcott lived and set her story. “Everything there is just stunningly beautiful and preserved,” she said. “Pretty much anywhere you point the camera it looks like a Winslow Homer painting.”

The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep.

The audiobook hails from Audible.

Dern also stars as Marmee, the March family’s matriarch in Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation of the classic novel. 

“Being part of Little Women has completely converted me into an Audible addict!” Laura Dern said in a statement. “I’ve fallen in love with audio — it’s a completely different acting experience. Audio is fantastic in its ability to let stories resonate through the voice alone. It’s so private and intimate, you share the humor, irreverence, and bravery of the writing with the listener in such a personal way.”

Audible’s Susan Jurevics added: “We’re thrilled to make Little Women, starring Laura Dern, available to Audible members. Our listeners are passionate about diving into love in its many forms — romantic, classic, and beyond — and this new Little Women recording encompasses them all. While the March sisters explore love in marriage and motherhood, one of their most enduring bonds is with each other.”

That’s why it’s one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and Greta Gerwig finally gave us a sneak peek into her latest project.

The Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director recently set down with Vanity Fair to discuss her adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel and used the opportunity to share the first look at this period drama.

She unveiled a couple of pictures, showing the leading ladies Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Saoirse Ronan and Eliza Scanlen in character as the March sisters.

This timeless coming-of-age tale was always very close to Gerwig’s heart, and bringing it to the big screen was a deeply personal experience. Despite the fact the story is set in the post-Civil War era, Little Women always felt fairly modern because it follows several female characters, who have a very strong sense of self and are marching to the beat of their own drum.

“They were just people. They were not in a period piece, they were just living. They were the most modern people who had ever existed, up till that point,” explained Gerwig.

The Oscar-nominated director and fellow Oscar-nominated actor formed a formidable duo in 2017’s Lady Bird which drew praise from audiences, critics, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The duo is not teaming up once again to work on Greta’s new project — Little Women.

The adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel will see Timothée assume the role of Laurie and star alongside Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep, and Chris Cooper.

“I would do anything Greta wanted me to be a part of,” the Beautiful Boy actor told Variety. “I knew Little Women; I hadn’t read it. But I’ve read it since. I understood it to be a literary classic, but it’s crazy, day by day in the rehearsals, I get more imbued in the legend of it all. We’re shooting in the Massachusetts area where it was written, so we have a lot of people on the crew or that are just around that, like, the book is very dear to their heart and to their youths, as well.”

Filming of Little Women has recently begun, ahead of its release in December 2019.

Greta Gerwig’s remake of Little Women for Sony Pictures has just added Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk to its cast. 

Odenkirk joins the previously announced cast including Meryl Streep, Timothee Chalamet, Saoirse Ronan, Laura Dern, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlon, James Norton, and Louis Garrel.

The talent-loaded production helmed by the Lady Bird writer-director is based on the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott has yet to start production but is already garnering a lot of attention due to its big cast and the fact that Gerwig’s directorial debut earned her an Oscar nom for Best Picture and Directing.

According to the outlet, it is still unknown who Odenkirk will be playing, but considering the story follows the March sisters on their journey to womanhood, there aren’t too many options. 

Odenkirk’s recent credits include The Disaster Artist, and Incredibles 2. He’s currently starring in season four of the acclaimed Better Call Saul on AMC.

Celebrated author Louisa May Alcott released this acclaimed book in 1868. Her tale of the March sisters growing up in post-civil war America is still considered one of the best coming of age stories of all time. It’s been subject of several adaptions in the past, including a 1994 version starring Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon.

Gerwig did the impossible with her upcoming remake and managed to find an even more star-studded cast. Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, stars of her previous film Lady Bird, agreed to reunite with the director. Hollywood veterans Meryl Streep and Laura Dern also accepted her invitation. Gerwig proved she has an eye for great new talent, by casting rising stars Florence Pugh (Lady Macbeth), James Norton (War & Peace) and Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects).

Emma Watson is the latest addition to this amazing cast, but she’s actually set to replace Emma Stone. Oscar winner was initially cast as Meg March, but had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts. This isn’t even the first time two Emmas replaced each other on the big screen. Stone previously took over the main role in La La Land from Watson after she decided to film Beauty and the Beast instead.

The upcoming period piece will reunite her with Lady Bird stars Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, but they’re not even the biggest stars on the call sheet. Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Emma Stone will also be joining the cast of this star-studded film.

Newcomer Florence Pugh is currently the only relative unknown cast in Little Women, but we’re sure she’ll shine as brightly. Pugh was nominated for BAFTA Rising Star Award last year, thanks to her breakthrough role in underrated drama Lady Macbeth.

We’ve recently seen several TV adaptations of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, but it hasn’t been brought to life on the big screen since 1994. It chronicles lives of four sisters who are looking for themselves as they pass from childhood to womanhood. Alcott’s Little Women is considered one of the most universally acclaimed coming-of-age tales of all time. We’ll see if Gerwig does it justice in a year or two.

Premiere date is yet to be set, but it already seems like an Oscar darling in the making.
