Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Reactions to Greta Gerwig's Little Women Movie Casting 2018 Today's Lesson: Never Underestimate How Passionate Fans Are About Little Women 29 June 2018 by Brinton Parker Image Source: Everett Collection When you think of an intense fandom, your mind might jump to Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or even Grey's Anatomy, but never underestimate the passion of Louisa May Alcott fans. After the news of a new Little Women movie adaptation — reportedly directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, and Timothée Chalamet — hit the press, it became clear that people have LOTS to say about the classic book-turned-several-films. Fans on both sides of the fence have some pretty hilarious responses to the movie news and casting rumours, so grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy the drama. Some people have a hard time stomaching the idea of another Little Women remake, and are loyal to the 1994 version.

Of all time!— Bilge Ebiri (@BilgeEbiri) June 29, 2018 8 / 35 However, even some of the haters are excited about the new film! A "Little Women" remake feels unnecessary, but they've got a monster cast on their hands so I'm optimistic. #littlewomen— Clear Critique (@Clear_Critique) June 29, 2018 9 / 35 if we can get 50,000 batman and spider-man and joker and wolverine origin stories in a decade than you best be quiet about more LITTLE WOMEN.— lindsey romain (@lindseyromain) June 29, 2018 10 / 35 good news everyone: Twitter cast an adaptation of Little Women https://t.co/ebi9MYClgE— David Sims (@davidlsims) June 29, 2018 11 / 35 y’all complaining about another #LittleWomen remake will still see it in theaters, just wait.— εѵα ✨💧 (@evamariestreep) June 29, 2018 12 / 35 REAL QUESTION but am I the only person who grew up with every iteration of Little Women and had the book legitimately 75% memorized - and is really looking forward to the new film? #littlewomen— Mirriam Neal (@mirriamelin) June 27, 2018 13 / 35 I love you little women release year unknown— christina (@ladybiird) June 29, 2018 14 / 35 After all, the cast is absolutely FABULOUS.
