Ant sends us a link to several pics from the set of Becoming Jane, where Anne Hathaway is busy portraying Jane Austen. James McAvoy (whom I adored as Mr. Tumnus the Faun in Chronicles) will play Jane's Irish suitor."Becoming Jane Synopsis :: Jane Austen has a romance when she was about the age of 20 with a young Irishman named Tom Lefroy. His family disapproved of the match because Austen had little money and Tom was the oldest in the family and had quite a few people to support, so he needed to marry into money. So his family sent him away when it looked like things were getting serious between the two of them. A few years later she wrote the first draft of what turned out to be Pride and Prejudice--it's believed she loosely based Elizabeth and Darcy on herself and Tom, but made Darcy rich enough that he could marry who he chose."
Ok, the costume doesn't give me much hope. I hate it. *sigh* I'm losing hope for this movie with everything I read about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate! I'm sure Jane would have worn prettier clothes than this!
ReplyDeleteThe brown dress IS hideous. --Kim
ReplyDeleteIf you hold your hand up to the picture to block the horrendous Ugg action, the dress is a little more palatable. Still, this doesn't bode well. -- Amy
