A new version of Jane Eyre will be hitting movie screens soon. Don't think for a minute that I wasn't aware of it just because I hadn't mentioned it.
Slate carries a run-down of Jane Eyre adaptations. I totally agree with the author about the splendors of the 2006 version.
Why are there so many film treatments of Jane Eyre? This is a question made far more interesting to me because I am one of those who believe Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is a Jane Eyre variation, and that thing gets a film remake in England very regularly.
Yeah, what's that about?
The Times tries to answer that. Short version: good source material.
