The IMDb page for Brontë shows that Angela Workman - who worked very hard to get this project through - has been replaced (check
this post) by director
Charles Sturridge, possibly with the aim to attract a wider audience thanks to a better-known name.
Charles Sturridge directed the acclaimed TV mini-series
Return to Brideshead, adapting Evelyn Waugh. He is best known for a couple of literary adaptations:
A Handful of Dust (1988) (based on another novel by Evelyn Waugh) and
Where the Angels Fear to Tread (1991) (by E.M. Forster). His last movie is
Lassie (2005).
The script is still signed by Angela Workman, but it is to be expected that the new director will make some changes to it.
We really hope this film won't turn into a real-life version of The Brontë Project by Jennifer Vandever (which by the way is a
project in development at Orchard Pictures)

ok i just wanna know if he will be directing a movie version of A Great and Terrible Beauty (by Libba Bray) anytime soon? When I typed it into imbd.com a few minutes ago it said he was the director, is this true?
