Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender star in Jane Eyre, based on Charlotte Brontë's famous novel.
In the film, Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence - and Mr. Rochester's coldness - have sorely tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her - and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered...
In One Day, based on the book by David Nicholls, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess star as a couple - a rich guy and working class girl - who meet every July 15th for twenty years after their first one-night stand during university.
Here is the film's synopsis:
One Day charts an extraordinary relationship. Emma and Dexter meet on the night of their college graduation - July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, every July 15th reveals to us how "Em" and "Dex" are faring, as their friendship ebbs and flows with the passing of the years. Through love and loss, heartbreak and success, hopes fulfilled and dreams shattered, they experience the grandeur of life. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along.
One Day was released August 19th, 2011 and stars Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Tom Mison, Jodie Whittaker, Tim Key, Rafe Spall, Josephine de la Baume, Patricia Clarkson. The film is directed by Lone Scherfig.

As much as I love Fassbender and Wasikowka, it's disappointing to see the studio put box office clout over fidelity to the source material by casting two ridiculously good looking actors to play characters whose strength is the fact that they're unattractive. Still, I'm excited to see any new version of Jane Eyre on screen, as it's one of my favourite novels. So I'll definitely be checking it out.
