Less than an hour after the renewal for The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix was announced, the theme of the second installment has been revealed. It will be called The Haunting of Bly Manor. As part of this morning’s renewal announcement, it became clear that the horror series from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy would become an anthology, with the second installment chronicling a new story with all new characters. The Haunting of Bly Manor is set to debut in 2020.

"Better to be without sense than misapply it as you do." - Mr. Knightley Jane Austen's novel "Emma" remains an enduring masterpiece of biting wit, scathing satire, and Regency society-trapped-in-amber since its publication in 1815. Even nearly 200 years later, there's still quite a bit of relevance and humor to be found in its pages and the novel's matchmaking heroine Emma Woodhouse--young, spoiled, and naive--remains a favorite for readers of all ages. Douglas McGrath's 1996 Emma, which starred Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Alan Cumming, and Ewan McGregor, remains a favorite of mine when thinking of Austen adaptations.

The film – a moving adaptation of Quentin Crisp's then little-known memoir of his imperilled life in the 1930s as a brazen homosexual – made an icon of Crisp and a star of John Hurt, who caught his subject's manner and spirit with such eerie exactitude that it took The Elephant Man (1980) to shake it off. But Hurt buttoned himself back into the role without a fumble for An Englishman in New York, which saw the elderly Crisp taking his fabulous new...
