Dakota Johnson and Henry Golding are heating up screens in the first look of their upcoming Netflix adaptation of Persuasion.

The film takes a more modern approach to the Jane Austen classic, although the two actors appear in period costumes in the new images released by Netflix on Wednesday.

Johnson, 31, stars as Austen's heroine Anne Elliot, who is confronted by her past when she crosses paths with her lost love, Captain Frederick Wentworth.

Cosmo Jarvis stars as Wentworth in the first look released by Netflix, while Golding stars as Anne's cousin and potential suitor, Mr. Elliot.
