With 2019 comes a brand new adaptation of the Little Women story, complete with cool-girl director, star studded cast and some excellent costumes.
We've already had a first glimpse of the film, thanks to the trailer and, in a UK exclusive, ELLE UK brought you a previously unseen clip from the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig-directed remake of the classic tale.
The scene - which you can watch, in full, above - features Florence Pugh and Timothée Chalamet, who play Amy March and Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence. The characters are shown discussing marriage, with Amy educating Laurie on the 'economic proposition' and realities of matrimony.
'I'm just a woman,' Amy tells Laurie. 'And, as a woman, there's no way for me to make my own money. Not enough to earn a living or support a family, and if I had my own money - which I don't - that money would belong to my husband as soon as we got married.
'If we had children, they would be his not mine, they would be his property so don't sit there and tell me marriage isn't an economic proposition because it is.'
Ooof. Roll on Boxing Day.
And here's everything else we know about the film...
Who Is In The Little Women Cast?
Update: In December, Watson shared a behind the scenes photo from the filming of Little Women showing the Harry Potter star, Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh walking and chatting in between filming.
Still in character, the three March sisters are dressed in their finest crinoline hoop skirts to fit with the 1800s era.
Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep and Timothée Chalamet, to give you just a few of the really big names.
Florence Pugh is playing Amy and Eliza Scanlen is playing Beth.
James Norton joins the cast in the role of Meg (Emma Watson)’s husband, John Brooke.
Who Is The Director Of Little Women for 2019?
Directing this year's March sisters is none other than American actress and screenwriter Greta Gerwig, of Ladybird fame.
The 36-year-old was nominated for a Golden Globe for Frances Ha, in 2012, on which she collaborated with Noah Baumbach.
As an actress, she's starred in such films as To Rome with Love, Maggie's Plan and Jackie.
Will It Be True To The Original Book?
A lot of people have been asking questions about how well the original story, written by Louisa May Alcott and published in 1868, slots into a 2019 world of women's equality.
Within the book, one of the central themes concerns whether a woman's place is in the home and whether her goal should ultimately always be marriage.
If you've read the book, you'll know how it all ends up, but we won't give you any spoilers here.
Discussion has formed around whether famously feminist Gerwig might give the script a tweak, to push an empowering standpoint for the female characters.
And upon watching the trailer, it seems that she might.
In the clip, Saoirse Ronan's Jo March can be seen tearfully exclaiming:
'Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as beauty, and I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it!'
And as Slate has identified, this quote is actually not in the original Little Women story.
It is, however, from a Louise May Alcott book. It's from a novel she wrote in 1876, called Rose in Bloom.
What Is The Release Date?
Little Women will be released in the UK on Boxing Day, December 26, 2019.
