There are no bounds for English literature. Ellen Page has decided to play one of its most famous characters, Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre.“

Bronte’s classic 19th century romance is a story of a mousy governess who softens the heart of her surly employer Mr. Rochester, only to discover that he’s hiding a terrible secret.

I am sure we all know that “Jane Eyre” is one of the most adapted novels in English literature, with at least 20 previous film or TV versions. Most recently, the BBC made it into a miniseries that won three Emmys last year. The last bigscreen adaptation, in 1996, was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and starred Charlotte Gainsbourg.  

I am sure one more “Jane Eyre” won’t hurt.  The character is quite different from Ellen Page’s “Juno.”
