Two Irish actors have joined the cast of the anticipated "Sense and Sensibility" reboot.

Jane Austen's classic is getting another outing on the screen, thirty years on from the film adaptation, which saw Emma Thompson win the Oscar for Best Writing.

As filming begins in the UK, here's everything you need to know about "Sense and Sensibility":

Who is starring?

Daisy Edgar-Jones is taking over from Thompson in playing the eldest of the Dashwood siblings, Elinor.

She told Elle of playing the part: "It's also an interesting thing, being a woman in your 20s, wanting to find characters who are not always ingénues.

"You want to find characters with agency. I want every character I play to be complicated and deep and have layers to them, because that's what it is to be human."

"Hanna" star Esmé Creed-Miles will star as Marianne Dashwood, the emotional and reckless sister.

In July, it was announced that "Belfast" star Caitríona Balfe will also appear in the remake.

She joins fellow Irish actor Fiona Shaw in the cast along with George MacKay, Frank Dillane, Herbert Nordrum, and Bodhi Breathnach.

What's it all about?

If you haven't already seen the earlier versions of "Sense and Sensibility," it follows the fortunes of the three Dashwood sisters in the 18th Century.

Following the death of their father, the sisters and their mother are forced to move out of their family estate and into a cottage with a relative.

Their half-brother, who had promised their father that he would support them, is instead persuaded by his wife to withhold financial support and also sets about blocking a potential match with Elinor and her brother.

Marianne, meanwhile, is attempting to stave off a marriage to the much older but wealthy Colonel Brandon and instead falls in love with the dashing but weak-willed John Willoughby.

As the plot unfolds, the sisters find themselves experiencing contrasting relationship stories.

When will it be released?

Filming began in the UK in July, but as of yet, no release date has been announced.
