The first trailer is out for Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, based on Susanna Clarke's bestselling novel. Indiewire noted that "the prospect of a movie adaptation of the nearly 800-page book (teeming with footnotes) seemed foolhardy. But since we're in the golden age of television, a seven-part miniseries seems like the right approach, and the first trailer for BBC's big undertaking is here." Featuring a cast that includes Eddie Marsan, Bertie Carvel, Alice Englert, Marc Warren, Samuel West and Charlotte Riley, the project will premiere on BBC One in May, "though there is no word yet on when someone will wave a magic wand to get it across the pond."
