| Title: | THE GREAT HOUSE |
| Logline: | In this modern adaptation of JANE EYRE, a depressed teacher leaves her boring boarding school job to work as a private tutor to a rich teen at a lavish estate, where she soon encounters dark secrets and a handsome employer to complete her romantic literary fantasy. |
| Pitch: | PRIVILEGED meets JANE EYRE |
| Writer: | Camille Campbell |
| Genre: | Comedy | Drama | Romance |
| Why to Read: | This is a very fun, creatively stylized spoof of JANE EYRE and similar novels, combining gothic suspense with stately romance and re-upping it with a raunchy, R-rated present day California setting. The narrator is fun and well-utilized, the flashbacks are effective, and the writing is clear and efficient. Agnes is a great lead character, and Niki is a nice addition as a realistic twist on the petulant teenager archetype. Likable characters, lavish visuals, and a great comedic voice are just some of the strengths of this guilty pleasure dramedy. |
