New Jane Eyre Movie

It looks like we are to have another movie adaptation of Jane Eyre! I must admit I'm pretty excited. Each adaptation has its own unique take on my favorite classic novel. Well, I haven't seen every single adaptation there is...that would take awhile. Just look on IMDB and you'll see what I mean. But of the ones I have seen, the only one that I didn't like was the 1970 TV version with George C. Scott. I just couldn't buy George as my Mr. Rochester...ick.

The latest film opens March 11! First, here is the movie poster...

What do you think? I like it....though, the only thing I'd say against it is the shadow of Rochester is kind of weird...but overall, I think it establishes the mood of the story.

Now the trailer....



How about the trailer? It makes me really excited to see the film!!!  I can't wait. It looks dark and mysterious...granted they probably threw in all the Gothic elements to sell the movie in the trailer... I say that because one of the big points of the book was the triumph of love. Also, Dame Judi Dench is in there! I love her. Focus Pictures also did the last Pride and Prejudice adaptation which is my favorite! So it has all the elements to be an amazing movie and adaptation! Here's to hoping!

Mia Wasikowska as Jane
Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester

    I'm sooo excited for this! I think it's only opening in selected cities so I probably won't get to see it! :-(

    XOXO~ Renee

    This looks really, really good. I haven't read Jane Eyre since I was, like 13, and all I remember is being tremendously bored; now, though, I think I might have been too young to fully appreciate it. Keeping this amazing trailer in mind, I think I'll have to give it another go.

    I'm looking forward to it. I like the music in the trailer - it has this kind of haunted, mysterious feeling that fits the book very well.

    Looks fantastic--and so good to see Judi Dench as the housekeeper. Definitely will see this one!
