9 Oct 2012

Share on Reddit
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The CW and actress Reese Witherspoon are developing a modern reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic novel "The Great Expectations."

Titled Expectations, the series follows revolves around a small-town girl with big dreams of making it in the city who is quickly disillusioned by the harsh reality of living in San Francisco -- that is until her fortunes unexpectedly turn thanks to an anonymous benefactor.

    I'd give good odds this won't make it to the pilot stage. Just a hunch.

    Reese Witherspoon is a big name for the CW.

    Sounds good. Anything based on Dickens' books has to be half-decent.
    Then I always like to root for the underdog, and the CW is a Chihuahua amongst the Dobermanns.:)

    Nothing wrong with Dickens and the original story , but when I read the phrase 'modern reimagining,' I am afraid my expectations for the show sink considerably... and centrering on a 'small town girl' and they sink even lower.

    Even with Reese Witherspoon, I'm not sure I should expect anything much from this.

    She might only be involved as a producer or sth else... I don't really see her acting on the CW:

    This sounds like a good idea!
