What other Austen-ish books do you want to see get film or TV adapted ?

Despite The Jane Austen Club film sadly flopping in North America when it got released there and without necessarily needing to only cite anything that's only set in the UK and / or also set in the same time historic time period as any of Jane's books are (anything mentioned can be set in present day or
any time period), what fiction or even non-fiction books you admire, would you like seeing get either film adapted or TV mini-series adapted (if more time is needed to do the story justice), because it has similar or even more interesting themes and characters to any of those Jane's books, while the book refrains from actually imitating and / or visibily ripping off the whole plot of any of Jane's books.

I would always love to see another Pride and Prejudice remake. Especially one free of Kiera Knightley. Even the general plot in a contemporary setting again (it's a classic story for a reason).

I'd like a GOOD rendition of Mansfield Park.

I agree that Mansfield Park could use a newer treatment, but Persuasion! The actors in the best version seemed poorly cast.
