The Hindu reminds its readers of the upcoming broadcast (next Friday Jan 23 & Jan 30) of Jane Eyre 2006 in the Indian channel Zee Studio:
Zee Studio presents television adaptations of some of the popular classics of English literature – “Pride and Prejudice”, “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, “Vanity Fair”, “Jane Eyre”, “The Other Boleyn Girl”, and “Madame Bovary”. These will be telecast at 10.30 p.m. every Friday night.
The Brazilian band Je rêve de toi has recorded another cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Here you can watch a video of the recording session and here a set of pictures of the videoclip. The cover features in the film Morgue Story by Paulo Biscaia.

Fashionista Piranha reviews the Classical Comics's edition of Jane Eyre:
Amy Corzine, the script adapter for Jane Eyre, did a wonderful job capturing the characters' emotions in abbreviated form. (...)
John M. Burns' did a stunning job with the art. Instead of the usual inked panels we see in comic books, Jane Eyre is lushly painted in an older style of art that reminds me of the old Nancy Drew covers. (After Googling Nancy Drew's art in an attempt to understand this connection, I must be remembering the second generation artist Bill Gillies or third generation Rudy Nappi.) The use of heavy shadows and rich color really capture the mood of the gothic story. Dark greens and greys give Lowood School a unhealthy pallor, while Thornfield Hall's brightly decorated walls, so lovely during parties and special events, become dimly lit and vaguely threatening when Rochester's mood is low.
Finally, LipRing Inspired: A ZiggyGurl Production includes a brief comment about Jane Eyre.
