Little Women is coming to cinemas – again. Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig has put her spin on the classic tale. And now the trailer is nearly here, so strap on your corset and grab your top hat, we're headed to 1860s New England!

The story is about, surprise surprise, young women. Despite taking place so long ago, the story is essentially timeless. It's about four sisters coming of age, finding their place in the world.

In case you missed the trailer above, here it is again. Delight in the bad American accents, gentility, and feisty sisters.

Playing the sisters are Saoirse Ronan as Jo, Emma Watson as Meg, Florence Pugh as Amy, and Eliza Scanlen as Beth. Laura Dern stars as their mother, Marmee, with Meryl Streep playing the wealthy and acerbic Aunt March.

Each sister comes up against societal expectations in their own way. Jo is a free thinker who challenges the strict gender roles of her day. Meg eschews her duty to marry for money, instead wanting to choose love.

Amy, despite on the surface being the most conformist sister, is actually a rebel in her own right. She is outspoken and brash, which stems in part from selfishness but over the course of the novel grows into a hard work ethic. Beth is shy, but artistic and kind, refusing to rise to expected sisterly-drama.

Timothée Chalamet plays the boy next door Laurie. Chalamet is reunited with Ronan and Gerwig, having previously starred in Gerwig's Oscar-nominated Lady bird.

James Norton stars as Laurie's tutor John Brooke, Louis Garrel plays Friedrich Bhaer (who does not appear in the trailer), and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) plays the absent, but beloved, patriarch Mr March.

How close the movie will stay to the book remains to be seen. Other adaptations of Little Women have not strayed far from the source material and given Sony's brief clip to tease the trailer, the aesthetics seem to be spot on.

Little Women is out in UK cinemas on Thursday, December 26.
