Why do people abscond with a title and credit an author to a film that only has one character with the same name as a main character in the novel? Specifically, Wentworth.
Of course, this is far from the only attempt to cash in on someone else's name and work, while simultaneously expressing disdain for them.
I can't say whether I'd like this movie or not nor do I think it likely that I'll watch it. It was obviously made for a demographic that I am not part of. Suffice it to say that if Persuasion were to be modernized, this would not be it.
Start by reading the novel. If you find you don't like the novel, fine. Move on with your life.
If you like the novel, consider watching all of the adaptations. None of them are perfect, but most true adaptations are quite satisfying and will temporarily transport you to another reality. Mission accomplished.
And yes. If Jane Austen's work formed the basis of a religion, I might be a zealot.
