Jane Austen's work continues to live on.

The famed British novelist's 1815 novel "Emma" is getting yet another film adaptation, and "Thoroughbreds" actress will play protagonist Emma Woodhouse, according to THR.

In the books, Taylor-Joy's character is a young woman with a penchant for matchmaking. However, her best efforts go awry. Plot details for the "Emma" haven't been revealed, but we assume we'll see at least that much.

It's a story that has proven popular for remakes. In previous "Emma" adaptations, actresses who have taken the title role include the likes of a "Clueless" remake in the works.

In the "Emma," Taylor-Joy will have the chance to make Austen proud. She'll be directed by Autumn de Wilde, a music video director who is helming her first feature film.
