Hooray! I just read Jane Eyre a few months ago; it's easily in my top 3 novels of all time. Cory alerted me that there's a movie coming out and it really looks good. This adaptation is supposed to stick rather faithfully to the novel; here's hoping!
Says director Cary Fukunaga, "I’ve spent a lot of time rereading the book and trying to feel out what Charlotte Brontë was feeling when she was writing it. That sort of spookiness that plagues the entire story…there’s been something like 24 adaptations, and it’s very rare that you see those sorts of darker sides. They treat it like it’s just a period romance, and I think it’s much more than that.”
You can definitely see the Gothic bent in the trailer: enjoy!

Chills! That looks amazing!!! I love that actress, too.
