Fetch the smelling salts: You may find yourself swooning at these exclusive first-look images from Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated adaptation of Little Women, coming to theaters this winter. Sonia Saraiya spoke with Gerwig and star Saoirse Ronan—who plays Jo March, of course—about the film, which may be even more personal than the pair’s previous collaboration, the openly autobiographical Lady Bird.Little Women, too, “feels like autobiography,” Gerwig told Saraiya. “When you live through a book, it almost becomes the landscape of your inner life.… It becomes part of you, in a profound way.” Onscreen, Ronan is joined by an all-star cast: Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, and Eliza Scanlen as her sisters; Laura Dern as ultra-mother Marmee; Meryl Streep as forbidding, rich Aunt March; and fellow Lady Bird alum Timothée Chalamet as heartthrob Laurie, the literal boy next door who develops an intense friendship with Jo. Said Ronan of their reunion: “I loved that in Lady Bird, he was the one that broke my heart, but I got to break his heart in Little Women.”
