I have a feeling this movie will only cover the beginnings of Anne's time at Green Gables, as the actress is very young to be playing a teenage Anne and cramming the entire novel into a two hour made for tv movie just doesn't seem feasible.
shareI recall back in 2012 reading of a 13 episode television series of Anne being in the works . Is this 2 hour television movie the result of the previous efforts?
shareI believe so.
shareI don't know why they are even bothering. It isn't like modern day special effects are going to improve on a period piece that was actually FILMED on Prince Edward Island, or on casting like Kathryn freaking Hepburn. I realize it was a Canadian production and all but still, trying to get that story down to 2 hours is kind of missing a lot of story.
sharethe good news is that the 2017 CBC series being created, written and executive produced by “Breaking Bad” writer Moira Walley-Beckett and produced by Miranda DePancier (Josie Pye from the 1980s CBC series) will be 8 episodes. or at least that is what CBC have ordered and is to begin production this spring so we should start hearing more about it. the title is not anne of green gables, simply ANNE

FALSE STATEMENT. Kathryn (sic) Hepburn is not listed in the credits. Also, most of the original series was actually filmed in ONTARIO. The only PEI shots were ocean scenes.
This new version uses the same locations as the old miniseries (i.e. Ontario and PEI).

What we see and what we seem are but a dream. A dream within a dream.share
