In select theatres March 11, 2011 LIKE Jane Eyre on Facebook: facebook.com Mia Wasikowska (“Alice in Wonderland”) and Michael Fassbender (“Inglourious Basterds”) star in the romantic drama based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel, from acclaimed director Cary Fukunaga (“Sin Nombre”). In the story, Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence — and Mr. Rochester’s coldness — have sorely tested the young woman’s resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her — and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered… Also starring Dame Judi Dench, Sally Hawkins and Jamie Bell.

@blathynblethyn My only reservation is that Mia Wasikowska, while a good little actress, looks a touch too young from certain angles…
Also, I quite liked the most recent BBC version of Jane Eyre!!
lozzlebot says
@blathynblethyn I thought the most recent BBC version was quite good actually!! Plus, I have some reservations about Mia Wasikowska. She is a really talented actress, but from certain shots of the trailer she looks a touch too young to be Jane!
MizNelson says
The 2006 version will always have an advantage because you can include a lot more of the story in a 4-hour miniseries. We’ll be lucky if the new film even tops two hours.

looks so good. I’m geeking out over this!

How did they make such a dull and boring ass book into a movie???
xkfireflieskx says
They better not screw that story up!! It looks so very promising… I’ve only seen the 1983 miniseries (with 11 episodes) and the 2006 BBC miniseries (with 4 parts), and I love them both for separate reasons. The 1983 one because it was so wonderfully exact to the book (i swear there were like 10 words in there that weren’t straight from the dialogue of the book), and the 2006 for its significantly grander portrayal of the gothic elements of the novel. I just hope this one doesn’t butcher it!!

@Moviewhiz1
The book is far from being boring!!!
Moviewhiz1 says
@Heartze. Yeah, okay, the book was the worst thing I’ve ever had to read in school.

It was boring cos you were forced to read it; english lit classes can butcher great literature because of that, and poor teaching (in some cases) and the constraints of the national curriculum. If taken the time to be appreciated, the book is amazing, heart wrenching, passionate and thrilling.
marybarton2011 says
People please stop complaining and give the adaptation a chance. The Brontes were gothic writers and their “ugly” characters like Rochester were usually meant to be hauntingly beautiful. Whatmore, they are not letting any cat out of the bag by showing what happens. We already know what happens, as we should if we read the book. I am a huge fan of the 2006 version but that doesn’t mean I would encourage no other adaptations to acquire new fans.

I am so looking forward to this movie
MizNelson says
I saw the trailer in the theater for the first time when it was playing behind Country Strong two weeks ago. Needless to say, it was better than the movie.

@Moviewhiz1 I know it can seem dull because you were probably forced to read it, but it really is quite enjoyable when you’re not being forced to read and annotate it. I know how you feel, though! Some of my friends love Great Expectations because they read it outside of school, but I thought it was the most boring book ever.

Oh I soooooooo cant wait!!!!!! :} This looks Amazing!!!!!

Actually, I find it rather refreshing that, for once, a woman doesn’t have to look like a model and a man like a monster. It makes it more real to me.

Finally, a Miss Ingram who isn’t a blonde! lol

@TheRealPiper101 Me to. That was the first version of Jane Eyre I ever saw. It remains my favorite.

@TheRealPiper101
I’m with you. Toby did an amazing job. He IS Mr. Rochester.
I am looking forward to seeing Fasbbender’s take on Rochester though.
Ihkueren says
I did not beleive Rochester was ugly, in the sense that we think of ugly now. His features were just a complete 180 of what was considered handsome then. He was a a very masculine creature from his brow to his heel. I’ve no issue with this casting. I did wish he looked a bit older, and that his hair was more wilder. But I’m positive Fashbender will win us over with his acting.
Ihkueren says
@lozzlebot
The book is not fresh on my mind, but did they not refer to her several times as “childlike?” in her both her features and physique(she always mentioned how small she was–waif like). If she did not have pretty looks on her side, she certainly exulted youth. And she was only 18-19 during the majority of the book. People still mature past that age.

Ahhhh! Can’t waitt! :D
Afsha16 says
What is the music that plays in the end????? It sounds quite similar to the song Adele sings in the 2006 version.
roselashesamore says
I can’t wait to see it. My English Honors class just got done reading this. It looks very accurate and close to the book. Very interesting
yasafitraf says
Since when Ms Blanche Ingram dying her hair into black?
And… Toby Stephen more better and cooler as Mr Rochester.
