Austenland Live Stream in support of #SaveIndieBookstores

Shannon Hale, author of the Austenland series published by Bloomsbury and later turned into the 2013 film Austenland, will host a reunion of the cast and crew of the film with the goal of raising money for the #SaveIndieBookstores campaign.

Appearing on the livestream with Hale will be director Jerusha Hess and producer Stephenie Meyer as well as the following cast members:

JJ Feild (Captain America, Northanger Abbey) Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords, Oscar-winning songwriter) James Callis (Battlestar Galactica, Bridget Jones’s Diary) Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman; Wedding Crashers) Ricky Whittle (American Gods, The 100)

Strangers Things’ Charlie Heaton, Billions’ Malin Akerman, Breaking Bad’s Betsy Brandt and Turn’s JJ Feild are to star in AMC’s anthology series Soulmates. (...)

The series, which explores the nature of romantic love and the intersection of science, written by Will Bridges, who has written for Stranger Things and Black Mirror and Brett Goldstein (Superbob). It is produced by Banijay’s Fearless Minds and the series, which is set to air later this year, is based on Bridges and Goldstein’s short film For Life.

Co-created by Bridges and Goldstein, each episode will feature an entirely new story and different cast, a first-time format for AMC. The series takes place 15 years from now, when science makes a discovery that changes the lives of everyone on the planet – a way to find your soulmate. The series uses the sci-fi conceit to tell six provocative stories about the cost of finding true love, all different in tone and featuring a spectrum of people and relationships. Bridges and Goldstein executive produce with Jolyon Symonds via Fearless Minds. (...)

In another episode, Brandt will play Caitlin, a push-over who, after discovering her soulmate, starts to finally stand up for herself. Joining Brandt are [JJ] Feild as Nathan, who has a dark side and decides to share it when he meets his match Caitlin; and Tom Goodman-Hill (Cheat), as Doug, Caitlin’s dependable and dependably unromantic boyfriend.
