If there’s one thing a large majority of cinema-goers like, it’s adaptations of classical novels. Anything written by Austen, or the Brontë sisters, for example, probably creates huge dollar signs in the eyes of money-hungry film execs.
So it should come as no surprise that another one is on the cards for next year. Charlotte Brontë’s, JANE EYRE is set for a March 11 release and stars Mia Wasikowska (ALICE IN WONDERLAND) in the title role. The plot revolves around Jane, who leaves her home at Thornfield House in search of a better life. On her way, she becomes a governess for the rich and perpetually broody Edward Rochester, who’s dark demeanour hides a horrifying secret.
Directed by Cary Fukunaga, it also stars Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell, and Dame Judi Dench.
