Oh, a lot of people will see this; The novel Jane Eyre is almost Jane Austen level in its popularity. I never would have thought of Page in the lead role, but I am glad she's getting a chance to try something different. I hope she can pull it off, because I'd love for this movie to be good.

Jane Eyre is definately going against Juno type casting...I guess this is more fitting for the Oscar nominated actress than starring in the horror movie she bailed from...Will more people see this than "Smart People?"
