NEW YORK
- Jane Eyre could be taking another swoon on the big screen--with
Ellen Page
playing the iconic British character.
BBC Films has signed on to develop an adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte novel and has attached
Page
to play Jane. Moira Buffini wrote the screenplay; a director has not yet been chosen.
The role would mark the first period piece for
Page
, who has signed on to a number of contemporary films since her Oscar-nominated turn in
Juno
, including the roller-derby comedy
Whip It!
and the dramatic thriller
Peacock
. She opted out of
Sam Raimi
's supernatural tale
Drag Me to Hell
this year, citing scheduling conflicts.
Bronte's 1847 novel tells the love story of a governess and her master, Edward Rochester, with Gothic flourishes. It's among the most-filmed English novels of all time, with well over a dozen productions reaching the big and small screens, including BBC-produced miniseries in 1973 and 2006. Among the actresses to play the title character over the years are
Joan Fontaine
,
Susannah York
and
Charlotte Gainsbourg
.
