Fukunaga courts Jane Eyre
|
Cary Fukunaga |
Cary Joji Fukunaga, the director of this year's brutal Spanish
language drama Sin Nombre is close to signing on to Ruby Films' new Jane
Eyre adaptation.
The script for the blood and thunder romance is by Moira Buffini, who
has just adapted Posy Simmonds' comic strip Tamara Drew (itself based on
Thomas Hardy's 'Far From the Madding Crowd') for Stephen Frears to
direct.
Charlotte Bronte's classic novel has been filmed many times before.
No details on who'll play Jane yet. At one point Ellen Page was lined
up, but has since moved on. Shooting is due to start next year.
