Mike Newell Gives Us ‘Great Expectations’ With First Trailer

Charles Dickens’ classic novel GREAT EXPECTATIONS is set for yet another big-screen outing, and it has released an impressive first trailer. Directed by Mike Newell (DONNIE BRASCO), and adapted by David Nicholls (ONE DAY) this latest version stars Jeremy Irvine (WAR HORSE) as Pip, orphan turned rich-boy, and British film royalty Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, Jason Flemyng, and Robbie Coltrane. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film is set for release in the UK 30th November, and looking at the trailer below, we think it’ll be a slick affair.

Do we need another version of GREAT EXPECTATIONS? Surely David Lean’s is the perfect adaptation? Let us know your thoughts.
