Daily Mail talks about the upcoming Wuthering Heights project by Emerald Fennell and does what a proper journalist of the current era should do. Look into X for comments of "fans" which as usual are the proverbial collection of gloomy, bitter, and delusional usual suspects. Why on Earth a news media gives them visibility outside the social network ghetto is beyond us. Harper's Bazaar (Mexico), Movie Struckers (Italy) also talk about the project.

Collider recommends Jane Eyre 1944:
While this 1943 film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel of the same name may not be on the same level as the 2011 one (especially for audiences who like modern films), the Robert Stevenson picture is certainly worthwhile. As expected, the story centers around the titular character, played by Joan Fontaine, hired by the lord of a mysterious manor house, Edward Rochester (Orson Welles in one of his best roles), and tasked to care for his young daughter.
Jane Eyre is a solid adaptation of a classic literary tale, which, like many other great classics on this list, is available to stream for free on the digital platform. Stevenson's black-and-white film's stunning cinematography of the brooding Jane Eyre plays a huge part in what makes it appealing. However, the acting performances — particularly by Fontaine, who brings the heroine to life flawlessly — are also worth a mention. (Daniela Gama)
Now that The Moors is performed in Washington D.C, The Washington Post interviews the author of the play, Jen Silverman:
A comparable alienation initially haunts the governess who arrives at an isolated mansion in the Brontë-spoofing “The Moors.” The mansion’s inhabitants — including two “spinster” sisters (as the cast list calls them), a maid, and a mastiff who falls in love with a moorhen — go on to reveal startling vulnerabilities and execute shocking power plays. (...)
An avid reader, Silverman wrote the play fast after being immersed in Charlotte Brontë’s letters. “The way in which Charlotte was talking about isolation and intimacy — and the geography of the place, how it was essentially a character — all of that started infiltrating my mind,” they say.

Mundo Diners (Ecuador) talks about the installation Cráteres de abismo by the artist Nebraska Flores
La sala está prácticamente a oscuras. Las figuras de papel solo reciben haces de luz como si fuesen disparos, proyectando sombras alargadas en pisos y paredes. Hay un aire misterioso en la muestra 
Sus esferas de papel, como cascarones de huevos, estallan engendrando estalagmitas y estalactitas que no son el resultado del agua escurriéndose por los minerales de la tierra, sino de trocitos de novelas y poemas. Su materia prima son las palabras y, por eso, el arte en esencia pura. (...)
‘Cumbres borrascosas’, una de las novelas favoritas de Flores, está allí, aunque es casi imposible precisar dónde. Y así hay cientos de páginas que se han convertido en una obra distinta a la original y con su propia fuerza. (José Luis Barrera) (Translation)

The Wuthering Heights Red Dress Day celebrations are announced on Glasshouse and Maleny Country News. On the Brussels Brontë Blog we see how Emma Conally-Barklem, a Yorkshire poet, combined a Pink concert with a Charlotte Brontë-inspired tour in Brussels. Pauline, the blog author, guided Emma through Brontë locations, discussing "Villette" and Emma's poetry collection "Hymns from the Sisters," which pays homage to the Brontë sisters.
