Another Jane Eyre '11 photo

-
Mia Wasikowska as Jane Eyre. Photo by Laurie Sparham, Focus Features, got from an article at USA Today, found through the BrontëBlog. The article also has some comments from the people behind that blog, which is nice to read! :)

The photo looks a bit blurry, almost like a painting. Jane looks plain, in a way, but at the same time, very naturally beautiful. And, to be fair, Jane's Rivers cousins think she's beautiful, even if she does not. Still waiting for a picture of Rochester, though! Come on! Gimme gimme gimme!!

    Oooohhh, thanks for the picture! I'm getting excited about this adaptation. And I'm with you, someone needs to leak a Rochester pic!

    Thank you for the picture. I was frantically google searching for one and you found it! She is surprisingly perfect, isn't she? I thought I would hate anyone trying to play Jane after Ruth Wilson. I guess not. (But I am positive nothing can beat Toby Stephens!)

    @Ruth: Absolutely! :D

    @Elise: Mia Wasikowska looks great as Jane so far - we'll have to wait and see if she can deliver! I'm curious about Fassbender's Rochester, but yes... will he live up to Stevens? Hmmm... wait and see again! :)

    I hope the movie keeps faithfully to the script. Mia Wasikowska looks great as Jane. Rochester, should be a dark brooding man with black hair and eyes and not conventially handsome. Why pick a pale, ginger hair man with blue eyes? I'm disappointed already.Orsen Wells was a great Rochester although the movie seems very, very tame compared to others that followed.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
