Just a note

[cleolinda]

Two things that came up in the comments of the previous entry:

1. Ellen Page IS Jane Eyre (thanks, elbeonore). "Alison Owen of Ruby Films, who most recently produced 'The Other Boleyn Girl,' is working with BBC Films to develop the new adaptation of Bronte's classic 19th century romance." OH HELL NO.


2. This thread:

crumpeteer: I'm waiting for the action figures. But really they won't have much action except to mope around and pine over Bella.

cleolinda: Edward would definitely have Sparkle Action, though.

crumpeteer: Most embarrassing moment in vampire lore EVER.

cleolinda: I hereby swear (holds up hand) that if I write a 15M for this movie, I will try my damnedest to work in the line, "I have begun to doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion."

crumpeteer: And I'll want an icon of that.

cleolinda: Done!

So .... are we so out of screenplay ideas, that one year we get a NEW IMPROVED Jane Eyre with flavor-of-the-moment young actress, and the very next year we get yet another Pride and Prejudice, in a never ending pattern until they bump into each other during production?

It's totally a Victorian lit black hole waiting to happen. When do you think we'll see a movie called Becoming Charlotte Bronte?

I thought the Portia-actress from The Merchant of Venice film was set to play Charlotte in something. Maybe it fell through.

I think you're thinking of Bronte. As far as I know one of their financial backers pulled out, so they're desperately scrambling to find more.
