Err, Mr. Darcy? Pride & Prejudice? Jane Austen?
Well, I guess not everyone is familiar with the classic love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. But for all (future) fans here is an online modernized adaptation of Jane Austen's novel and it's called "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries".
Lizzie Bennet tells the classic tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The multi-platform series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
Within the first episode, Lizzie introduces herself as part of a class project. Have a look:
Main character Lizzie Bennet maintains in-character on social media destinations such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and of course YouTube. Her younger sister Lydia Bennett has her prime destinations on Tumblr and Twitter, while fashionista elder sister Jane Bennett incorporates Pinterest and Lookbook in addition to other social media sites. Fans and viewers are encouraged to interact with all characters on any media platform where they can find them.
