The World is Crazy for Jane Eyre
Seems like Jane Eyre is everywhere these days!
I have on my bedside table this book (yet to be read):
It's by April Lindner and is a retelling marketed at young adults. I hope it will lead teens to read Bronte's tell as well.
Jane Eyre movies
My first favorite Jane Eyre was the one with Samantha Morton and Ciaran Hinds from 1997 (chock full of spoilers, by the way). She is odd-looking like Jane is supposed to be and Mr. Rochester is not the hottest or youngest guy, which is also true to the book:
I also love the 2006 Masterpiece Theatre version with Ruth Wilson (duck-faced, but cute) and Toby Stephens (who is way too handsome to be Mr. Rochester, but honestly, who can complain??):
And now, we have a new one on the way in March 2011 with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, as the lead roles AND Judi Dench & Jamie Bell in the cast, as well. The trailer looks beautiful.
I always like watching half-mad heroines wandering around on moors.
