Focus Features just released a brand new behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming drama Jane Eyre, starring Mia Wasikowska, and Michael Fassbender. The featurette inlcudes behind the scenes footage from filming and interviews with Wasikowska, Fassbender, Judi Dench and director Cary Fukunaga.
In the story, Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska) flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester (Michael Fassbender). 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 Sally Hawkins, Jamie Bell, Holliday Grainger,Tamzin Merchant and Imogen Poots.
Jane Eyre is set to open in selected theaters on March 11, 2011.
The Jane Eyre version from the BBC is my favorite adaptation. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens was spectacular in that version. It would be hard topping that but I’m looking forward to watching the 2011 film nonetheless. :)
