Another adaptation of "Emma"... really?

I just saw a post in a FB page mentioning yet another adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel, “Emma" is in the works, this time for the big screen.

I found the main character in “Emma” to be bratty, not particularly likeable and, frankly, she is the main reason why I have not been able to read the whole book.  I just can’t stand the character.  My point of view is not that different as it pertains to the movie/T.V. adaptations I have watched (no more than 3, because I can't stomach this story as I mentioned), with the exception of  “Clueless”.  In the case of “Clueless” I didn’t feel as strongly about her probably because the action doesn’t take place in its corresponding historical setting, but rather takes place in the 1990s.  The heroine is an immature, self-centered and entitled high school girl, and I guess that makes me better able to understand her, as I viewed her as a child.  Additionally, the movie really did a good job in showing her as someone who did care, although she was seriously misguided… That doesn’t mean that I actually like the character, though, I just understood her better and appreciated the positive aspects of her personality, something I was incapable of doing with the book for whatever the reason. 

Although I really didn’t like the book, it seems to be quite popular among fans of Jane Austen, as the adaptations just keep coming.  There are quite a number of adaptations of “Pride and Prejudice,” which is understandable given the fact that it is Austen’s most popular and better known book.  There also seem to be a few adaptations of her other works as well, with maybe the exception of “Northanger Abbey”; but by far “Emma” seems to be at the top of the list of remakes of her stories into movie/T.V. adaptations.  Frankly, I wish there were more adaptations of my favorite book of hers, “Persuasion”, rather than adaptations of “Emma”.
