There have been a number of Little Women movies over the years (including the aforementioned film starring Winona Ryder, Susan Sarandon, and Christian Bale), and a new big screen project is on the way with an unexpected cast to be released in 2018, so it’s definitely possible to fit the big moments of the book into 2-3 hours.
It should be interesting to see how the folks working on Little Women manage to pack everything into three hours of TV.
Hopefully this new version of Little Women will be one of the best.
It certainly sounds less bonkers than the CW version that was in development for a while.
