Jane Eyre '11 - release dates - not good news

-

BrontëBlog are reporting some very much awaited release dates for Jane Eyre 2011. Here's me thinking merrily that it'll have a release 11 March, or at least thereabouts. Wrong!

In chronological order:

11 March 2011 - USA (limited)
7 April 2011 - Australia
14 April 2011 - Germany
9 June 2011 - The Netherlands
9 September 2011 - UK
23 September 2011 - Spain
September 2011 - Denmark

So basically, the country of origin of the story itself will have to wait until bloody SEPTEMBER before we can see the film?! WHAT THE HELL?! Is there no justice in the world?! :'( Guess I'll have to change the countdown clock on my computer and set it +6 months. Goshdarnit. Really disappointed now! Not to mention incredibly jealous of the Aussies.

The only thing that makes me not despair completely is what Michael Fassbender had to say about Mr. Rochester:

"A Byronic character burnt by experience, arrogant but also eloquent and introspective. He's world-weary and jaded, sensual, self-destructive; yet there's a good sense of humor in there, and at the end of the day a good heart. He sees the freshness and beauty in Jane when everybody else looks past her."

It bodes well for Team Rochester. Gold star right there, mister. You might win us over yet.

Mr. Rochester, you had me at "What the deuce". *sigh*

    Ok...I'm actually shocked that the US is getting this movie so far in advance of the UK...normally the exact opposite is true. Weird! But since it falls in my favor this time around I can't complain.

    And that quote is fantastic! That, and the 2nd picture, which is the best picture I've seen yet of Fassbender as Rochester, is getting me really excited!

    Yes I know Ruth, we usually get the movie last but we are lucky this time.
    Hope you both have a Happy New Year!

    Hi, just thought I'd let you know the Aussies aren't that much more fortunate! I am from Perth, WA and checked my cinema's 'coming soon' page.... "Jane Eyre" won't be released until August! Very disappointed :(

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
