A new adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel Jane Eyre is in development by Ruby Films, Focus Features and BBC Films. Mia Wasikowska (soon to be seen in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland film) and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) are both in talks to play Jane and her employer, Edward Rochester, respectively. According to Variety's story about the project, the setting will remain England in the mid-19th century but the Gothic elements of Brontë's story will be heightened. Filming is scheduled to commence in 2010.
