Photos and report back from my trip into NYC to see the premier of Jane Eyre. Video Review by Stephanie and me: here.
Note! The Jane Eyre movie is coming out in select theaters. More to follow over the next few weeks. See list: here.
While author Jane Austen, and the character Jane Eyre, both lived after the time of Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Circle readers may know I love works by Jane Austen, and works based on Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte’s character) very much. My favorite Jane Eyre so far has been the 2006 BBC miniseries. And, I am so excited to hear that the new movie, with Mia Wasikowska as Jane Eyre, is coming to American theaters in March 2011. And, the movie trailer has just come out…

And, here is my new video on the subject of Jane Eyre:
MTV is interested in Jane Eyre! Hope that gets young women reading the novel, and then thinking about independence, adventure and/or writing their own stories!
…The trailer for the film, though, seems to play the whole story off as a horror-thriller — which, I guess, we could argue that it is…
The film stars [Mia] Wasikowska as Jane Eyre, [Michael] Fassbender as Mr. Rochester, Judi Dench as Mrs. Fairfax and Imogen Poots as Blanche Ingram, and is directed by Cary Fukunaga… -MTV Movies Blog
Den of Geek points out that, with the style of this movie, there is a chance that Geeks and science fiction fans will be interested…
…Playing up the horror/thriller undertones of the 19th century story, this is Jane Eyre filtered through the mind of Alejandro Amenábar or Dario Argento, and therefore makes it more than worthy of geek attention… -Den of Geek
Thanks for the comment, Theresa.
(I wonder which miniseries it was? I am addicted to watching and re-watching the BBC minseries with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens.)
I can’t wait to see the movie, too! I am especially excited because Mia Wasikowska did a feminist-style character in Alice in Wonderland. Looking forward to good energy from Mia’s portrayal of Jane Eyre.
I love Jane Eyre! I watched a Jane Eyre miniseries a while back and was quite disappointed. This looks better! Can’t wait to see it!
