Hmmmmm now that's interesting thanks for that. I have been searching the internet for a snippet of information about developments but this is the best so far...
I'm surprised IMDB doesn't have anything yet. Bearing in mind they must be due to start filming shortly. Even the BBC don't seem to have anything on their website! I just looked up the name Ruth Wilson who they have named as Jane...but as there is one already listed will this mean she has to change her name, with regards to the actors register (why does the name of that escape me?).
I hope it has a good cast, did I read someone comment James Purefoy would be good for role of Mr. Rochester? If so I'd like to second that suggestion. I know Colin Firth would be marvellous but I as I haven't read the book (sorry) and only vaguely remember it being serialised when I was a child - I cannot recall how Mr. Rochester is supposed to come across. Can we not forgive Colin being too gorgeous? Doubt he'd do it anyway - Mr. Darcy was his baby. Long live Mr. Darcy!!!! LOL

I will read the book - at the moment I am reading P&P and finding it surprisingly easy to read - I think the BBC 1995 version has a lot to thank for it being so easy though - with Colin in my head as Darcy the whole thing swims along beautifully in my head!
I've always loved James Purefoy since he was in that programme about Blackpool/Brighton with Joey off Bread???? Long time ago!!!
I was also wondering if John Hannah couuld pull off Mr. Rochester? I like him, he's a fantastic actor.
Would Ray Winstone be too big???? I think he is amazing at playing dark characters with a loveable prescence?
Don't we have some great British talent? Be sure to let me know if you hear any more?
