We finally have the first look at the much-anticipated new film release, Little Women.

Starring Saoirse Ronan in the role of Jo, the all-star cast ensures this is one movie everyone is going to be talking about in the coming months.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, the first trailer for Little Women dropped this evening and already, it’s caused a massive stir.

Fans of the classic book want to see if the film can do it justice and movie goers know that it’s already tipped for the Oscars, such is the hype around it.

Major household names, Emma Thompson, Meryl Streep and Laura Dern feature and with new kid on the block, Timothée Chalamet, who won rave reviews for his Beautiful Boy performance, the line-up truly is amazing.

Due to land just in time for the festive season, this is one cinema trip you’ll be planning weeks in advance.

Meryl Streep plays Aunt March, Laura Dern is Marmee, mother to the March Girls, while Meg, Amy and Beth are brought to life by familiar faces Emma Thompson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen.

No plot spoilers here but as those who adore the book will know, it’s a coming-of-age tale that brings with it moments of great sadness and joy.
