May 24, 2021 · Wright transforms the original scene, which took place in a dowdy, quiet sitting room in the book and the BBC version.

- Atonement (2007) At the top of the list sits Wright's second film in his Keria Knightley trilogy. Atonement, adapted from the novel by Ian McEwan, has every single person working at the absolute top of their games.
- Anna Karenina (2012) The response to Anna Karenina when it was released in November 2012 has never made sense. Wright decided to push all his chips in on this truly audacious adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's novel, where he depicts the high society of 19th century Russia through the prism of an old, dilapidated theater.
- Pride & Prejudice (2005) Wright's first film remains one of his best. Many were resistant to a new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride & Prejudice, particularly after a beloved BBC miniseries starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, but Wright's lush, vibrant, and deeply romantic take on the tale remains immensely enchanting over a decade later.
- Hanna (2011) After making three dramas, Wright decided to swerve into the spy thriller genre for 2011's Hanna. Reuniting with Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan in the title role, he found the true sweet spot of marrying his garish style with material that wouldn't naturally call for it.
