Thought Catalog recommends some Gothic Romance (that is, after being a bit of a smartass in the first paragraph):
Jane Eyre (2011)
Speaking of the Brontë sisters, Wuthering Heights is not the only adaptation of a Brontë novel that came out in 2011. There was also Jane Eyre, which starred Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska as Edward Rochester and the titular Jane in a misty English landscape populated by exquisite shadows. Elegant, clever, haunting, and – importantly – romantic, the movie did its source novel justice. It will make you alternately swoon and shudder. (Evan E. Lambert)

Can you guess the solution to today's Storyboard

Filmibeat stills on topic think that Jane Eyre 2011 missed the spotlight in its premiere but captured our hearts later. Pity that the picture they add is from Jane Eyre 2006:
Cary Fukunaga’s adaptation of the gothic classic didn’t earn much attention in theatres, but its moody atmosphere and intense chemistry between Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender have aged beautifully. It's a slow, smoldering romance that lingers. (Maneesha IK)
The Irish Times lists some of the upcoming events of the Banagher Brontë Group:
The Banagher Brontë Group, founded in 2023, is hosting the Irish launch of Let Me In: The Brontës in Bricks and Mortar, by Ann Dinsdale and Sharon Wright. Kay Sheehy, recently retired RTÉ Radio 1 presenter and producer, will launch the book. Dinsdale is the principal curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire, home of the Brontës, as well as author of many books on the literary family and Sharon Wright is the author of The Mother of the Brontës, the biography of Maria Brontë.
The launch, on August 16th, is part of a gala garden party in Charlotte’s Way, Banagher, formerly Hill House, home to Arthur Bell Nicholls, husband of Charlotte Brontë. Tickets are available on Eventbrite and included in your ticket is a signed copy of the book, a buffet meal, musical entertainment and a great Brontë day out.
The group has a three-day programme of events celebrating the Brontë/Irish connection as part of Heritage Week, August 16th-18th. This festival is a must for Brontë enthusiasts and would be a great introduction for you to the Banagher Brontë Group. If you would like to find out more, visit the website. (Martin Doyle)
CBR lists some battle animes:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure begins as a slightly campy historical shonen anime, somewhat like a twisted retelling of Great Expectations and Wuthering Heights. (Vera Vargas)
Per Sempre News (Italy) has a biographical article on Emily Brontë: Some TMWHDE news: Blue Mountains Gazette, The Isle of Thanet News, CNN World...
