Nora Ephron has been brought in by Sony, the studio that released Julie & Julia to write and direct the adaptation of the mini-series Lost in Austen.
Here’s a short description of the mini-series from imdb:
Amanda, an ardent Jane Austen fan, lives in present day London with her boyfriend Michael, until she finds she’s swapped places with Austen’s fictional creation Elizabeth Bennet.
Seems like a good fit for Ephron.
