Wuthering Heights: Yorkshire, Tokyo and karaoke bar

Do take a look at the post on the Jane Eyre 2011 poster and synopsis for sites discussing it all today.

From the other Brontë adaptation in the making, via IMDb user CaptainStigmata, we have heard that actress Kaya Scodelario has shared a few pictures taking around the shooting location: one, two, three, four.

Tokyograph has information about another Wuthering Heights adaptation:

Emily Brontë's classic novel "Wuthering Heights" (known as "Arashigaoka" in Japan) is being performed as a stage musical next year, starring LUNA SEA vocalist Ryuichi Kawamura (40). Although there have been musical adaptations of the book before, this one will be a new adaptation written by playwright Sanae Iijima and directed by Nobuhiro Nishikawa.
Kawamura is taking on the lead role of the revenge-seeking Heathcliff, while voice actress Aya Hirano (23) and singer Natsumi Abe (29) have been double-cast as the heroine Catherine. Although Abe has plenty of experience on stage, this will be Hirano's first performance in a theatrical production.
The revealed cast so far includes Ikusaburo Yamazaki (24) as Edgar, Yuki Shoda as Isabella, Dai Iwasaki as Hindley, Keaki Mori as Nelly, and Tsunehiko Kamijo as Mr. Earnshaw.
The musical will be performed at Tokyo's Akasaka ACT Theater on July 6-24, then at Osaka's Theater Drama City on July 25-31.

Apart from that, The Canadian Press reviews April Lindner's YA retelling of Jane Eyre, Jane.

Although author April Lindner puts her own spin on the story, she keeps the core story line true to the original. Lindner mirrors Nico after the brooding and inattentive Edward Rochester, but in this modern version, Nico comes across as neglectful toward his young daughter. He only spends time with her as a way to get closer to Jane.
Jane Moore shares the same serious disposition as Jane Eyre, but Lindner's Jane is more spirited and vulnerable.
"Jane" is a captivating modern love story of a young woman who refuses to compromise her values, and fans of Bronté's "Jane Eyre" are sure to praise this rousing retelling with its rock 'n' roll twist. (Carolyn Lessard)

Novel Reaction reviews this book too.

The Shoreham Herald has an article on 'what your karaoke choice says about you'. Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights is featured:

Wuthering Heights: ladies undertaking this track will do so in the name of lolz, under the guise that it’ll sound so ridiculous they couldn’t possibly be taking themselves seriously.
Do not be fooled.
They secretly believe they are going to be ethereal in the extreme, channelling Kate Bush’s wide-eyed, mad-lady insouciance with their wafty arm movements and dog-decibel wailing.
Sadly, their efforts will be such that Heathcliffe [sic] won’t let them in the window. However cold it is. (Lauren Bravo)

A teenager interviewed by Springfield's State Journal-Register doesn't seem at risk of that.

What is the worst book you’ve ever read? “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë.

Flickr user Anna & ♣LaPuffa♣ ^Io Mi Faccio Di Twilight^ seems to be enjoying the novel (in Italian) a bit more, given by the diptych she has uploaded. Our Mutual Read reviews Agnes Grey.
