Reginae Carter has been very vocal in the past about her plans to pursue acting seriously. When she announced that she was cast in the Pride and Prejudice Lifetime remake, an all-Black contemporary version of the Jane Austen novel, she was elated and proud of her first feature film debut. Now just five months later, after hard work and dedication, the first trailer for Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta has arrived.
In the clip below you can see the modernized, Atlanta version of a mother who works hard to get her five single daughters hooked with a man. "In a contemporary adaptation of the Jane Austen classic, "Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta" follows Reverend Bennet, a pastor of a prominent southern Baptist church and his wife Mrs. Bennet, who is the author of a self-help book on how to find the perfect husband," the official synopsis reads. "Needless to say, Mrs. Bennet is less than thrilled that all five of their daughters, Lizzie, Jane , Mary, Lydia and Kitty are still single. When the very eligible Will Darcy arrives in town, Mrs. Bennet sets her sights on the handsome bachelor for daughter Lizzie, leading to a modern-day, comedic take on themes familiar to fans of the novel."
"I just wanna cry !! Mama and daddy, I made it !! Everybody make sure you guys watch #prideandprejudiceatlanta on @lifetimetv June 1st," Reginae captioned the first clip. Watch it in full below.
