FASSY AS ROCHESTER?! YES PLEASE
Wasikowska in talks for ‘Jane Eyre’
Fassbender may also co-star in Fukunaga’s adaptation
By ALI JAAFAR
Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender are in negotiations to star in “Sin nombre” helmer Cary Fukunaga’s feature adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, “Jane Eyre.”
Brit shingle Ruby Films’ Alison Owen and Paul Trijbits are producing with BBC Films and Focus Features from a script by Moira Buffini.
Project is a period piece but will play up the gothic elements of the story about Jane (Wasikowska), a demure governess who discovers her surly employer Rochester (Fassbender) is harboring a dark secret. The book is one of the most iconic in English literature and has been the subject of numerous previous adaptations.
Wasikowska will next be seen as Alice alongside Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” which Disney is releasing next year. The actress is also set to star in helmer Gus Van Sant’s untitled project for producers Dallas Bryce Howard and Imagine’s Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.
Fassbender previously appeared in Steve McQueen’s “Hunger,” Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” and Andrea Arnold’s “Fish Tank.”
He will next be seen in Neil Marshall’s Roman actioner “Centurion” and Warner Bros.’ “Jonah Hex” opposite Josh Brolin and Megan Fox.
Ellen Page was previously attached to star as the eponymous heroine but left the project some time ago.
Lensing is due to begin next year.

I’m supposed to be writing 2 essays right now, but visiting tumblr to reblog this. OMGOMGOMG I DON’T EVEN. SHAKING AND CRYING. Imagine if Ellen Page was still attached to this. I would’ve died.
M2: I mean nobody warned me. Nobody ever said that dreaming would be such hard work. Say what’s in those sad eyes of yours. I’m sure you’ll see that the village has everything you’ll need.
11-12: It doesn’t have you.
The Prisoner - “Schiziod”
I didn’t even hear what they were saying in this scene. I was too focused on Jamie’s eyes. GODDAMN.
Just finished it. I’m pretty sure it takes a while to absorb this- six episodes in three days is waaay too fast for me process. I’m rather meh about it.
All I know is, it’s reawakened my interest in tracking down Ruth Wilson’s filmography after her role in Jane Eyre. More or less, I find that any actress who lands her way into a BBC mini is a career I will end up following.
You should watch her in The Doctor Who Hears Voices. I hear she’s fantastic in that.
