Jane Eyre 2011 clips (I)

Focus Features shares two clips from Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre. The first one was published on Moviefone:

Jane and Rochester:





And the second one on SheKnows,  Jane and the Rivers in the clip Is This How You Perceive Me? 







Also, Jamie Bell is promoting his film The Eagle but is inevitably asked about his other films, including Jane Eyre. The Arizona Republic asks,

Q: Your next release, in March, will be "Jane Eyre," the latest example of a hot young indie director (Cary Fukunaga) taking on what looks like a very mainstream project. What was it like working with him?
A: Cary's great. I saw his first film, "Sin Nombre," which is a fantastic achievement especially for a first feature, so obviously he's a great visionary. Period drama is not at the top of the list of something I wanted to do, but I was immediately intrigued when I heard his take.
Q: How would you describe that?
A: Period dramas, we kind of know what it looks like, what it sounds like. It's all very stiff, and they can make a conversation about matchbooks sound intellectual. But I didn't understand what it feels like, and that's what we worked hard to capture. (Kerry Lengel)

And this is what he says to The Toronto Star:

“What is it about this version is the director made Sin Nombre and this one is Gothic and dark. Jane is an abused character but is not a victim; she’s trying to find social standing,” said Bell. (Linda Barnard)

Oh, and readers from Dallas may be interested in stopping by Gordon and the Whale who is giving away a couple of tickets for a screening in Austin on March 17.

EDIT:  Alert reader Simone informs us that Uinterview gives the chance to put questions to Mia Wasikowska herself.

This Australian actress became 2010's new "it" girl, starring in 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'The Kids Are All Right.' Now she'll star in the upcoming adaptation of 'Jane Eyre.' Mia Wasikowska takes your questions here.
