New Jane Eyre Film.

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!

CLASSIC BOOK POSTERS

How neat are these?  Perfect Christmas gifts for the "reading enthusiast."  These would be lovely in a library, too.  Says PosterText, "you can literally hang your favorite book on the wall with the book's text, arranged to depict a memorable scene from the book."  My wish list: Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, and The Wonderful World of Oz.  Which would make your wish list?
