I must admit that I truly disliked the trailer, I think that the leading actress doesn\’t have Jane\’s spirit and vivacity. I think it was a really bad choice that might compromise the entire movie. Besides, the novel isn’t gothic and as no similarities with ghosts’ stories, so I don’t understand the need to make it look like one. Actually I am quite frightened of what may come out of there. Well, the story is brilliant so it cannot be that bad.

There\’s nothing really gothic about the story. In fact, it\’s pretty much a fairy tale given what happens to Jane by the end of the novel. Whereas many young woman during those times were subject to loveless and abusive marriages, Jane actually gets to chose between two nice dudes!

Try Balzac\’s Eugenie Grandet. That\’s a better depiction of those times. Jane Eyre is a call to action for female rights, which is why it\’s so powerful, but it\’s not dark and gloomy in any way. I mean, she just happens to come across St.John while she\’s on the brink of death! How convenient.

I guess I\’m the only Playlister who thought this looked like \”Sleepy Hollow\” (and I like that film)? Yeah, this trailer didn\’t do it for me.

I do hope it\’s just a trailer and that the finished film is total atmosphere, and a lot more subtle than this, but yeah, not yet convinced.
