2: Director and writer of the film version of Jane Austen's "Emma," DOUGLAS MCGRATH. Already known as a playwright, screenwriter and columnist, this is his debut as a director. "Emma" is generally regarded as Austen's most accomplished and wittiest novel--a matchmaker doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons. MCGRATH is author of the New Republic column, "Flapjack File."
