This review of the upcoming film highlights the Dickens connection (although there doesn't seem to be a lot of emphasis on it):

Though if you were placing bets as to what modicum of deus ex machina
would bring these three characters together – a live reading of Little
Dorrit by Derek Jacobi probably made nobody's list.

Well, it might have made our lists, because we talked about it before. 🙂 At least, we talked about an audio recording. A live reading sounds even better, though.

Derek Jacobi, by the way, played Arthur Clennam in the 1988 miniseries version of Little Dorrit (which I happen to be currently watching and hope to review before long). So apparently Clint Eastwood knows his Dickens adaptations. Who knew?
