Trailer: JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL

The BBC have released the official trailer for their upcoming adaptation of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL, based on the 2004 Booker Prize-winning novel by Susanna Clarke. It concerns two Englishmen living during the time of the Napoleonic Wars, who both have magical abilities, but exist in an alternate timeline where their once-commonplace practices have become extinct. It stars Eddie Marsan (The World's End) as Norrell and Bertie Carvell (Babylon) as Strange, and looks superb. A co-production with BBC America, Cuba Pictures, Feel Films, Far Moor, Screen Yorkshire and Space, this miniseries is due to premiere sometime in May. What a treat!
