An article on Associated Content takes a look at the film previews shown recently at the cinema. The new Jane Eyre among them:

Jane Eyre - This remake will be released in Spring 2011. In this latest version of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel, we will see Mia Wosikowska [sic] as the older Jane. She recently had a starring role in the movie success The Kids Are Alright. Since I have never read the book, I am tempted to do so before seeing this updated version. (Mary Carol Herwood)
