I was REALLY excited; I thought it meant we were finally getting an adaptation of Villette and other underrated Bronte books! But it turns out the article is only about the upcoming Jane Eyre and (yet another) Wuthering Heights films. Mind you, if it's a good adaptation, I'd love to see another Jane Eyre. I haven't yet seen the perfect one yet...so far I think the 1983 one is the best. The 2006 one was accurate in some ways (the self-portrait scene, for example), but it drastically changed the character of Jane Eyre, which really bothers me.
Now, if this new one is good, and if lots of people like it, it might lead to more Bronte stories being adapted--like Cranford was, after North & South. I really hope that will turn out to be the case. :) The problem is, I'm almost a purist when it comes to Charlotte Bronte's books, so if the films aren't good, I will be exceedingly disappointed. Exceedingly...
