Sin Nombre Director Cary Fukunaga to Adapt Jane Eyre
/Film —
This is a bit unexpected; there have been a lot of possible next projects in the works for Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga. None of them were a new adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre. But the deal to put Fukunaga in the director’s chair for a new film version of the oft-adapted novel is reportedly close to finished. And thinking about the idea further, I’ve realized that it actually may be quite a good fit for the promising new filmmaker.
Variety reports that Fukunaga is in advanced talks to direct the film for UK ...
Cary Fukunaga Tackling 'Jane Eyre'
:: The Playlist :: —
Ok, so this we can get on board with. "Sin Nombre" is still one of our favorite movies of the year, so much so that we picked director Cary Fukunaga as one of our 7 rising auteurs of 2009 last week. He's been circling a number of other projects, including an adaptation of the excellent African child soldier novel "Beasts of No Nation," a sci-fi time travel movie and a possible musical, where the director would collaborate with Owen Pallett and Zach Condon (or, as they're better known, Final Fantasy and ...

... [image] "Sin Nombre" director Cary Fukunaga is in "advanced negotiations" to direct a new "Jane Eyre," according to Variety. Which makes perfect sense, since there've only been 15 previous film adaptations and near as many TV versions, in addition to all of the ballets, musicals and operas. And it's been three whole years since ...
Sin Nombre Director Goes From Mexico To The British Moors
Cinema Blend News —
Sin Nombre Director Goes From Mexico To The British Moors Given that his directorial debut was the elegantly made and very smart Sin nombre , everyone has been wondering what Cary Fukunaga would do next I don't think anyone was expecting this. Variety is reporting that Fukunaga is in advanced negotiations to direct jane Eyre for British indie outlet Ruby Films. Fukunaga, of course, is not British, but he isn't South American either, and that didn't stop Sin nombre from being great. And the movie doesn't have any stars attached at the moment-- Ellen Page bailed on it a ...
HER NOMBRE IS JANE EYRE

... of Jane Eyre couldn't be further from the slums of Sin Nombre. For those of you with poor educations, Jane Eyre is the story of an orphan who, after much Victorian-era suffering, becomes the governess of a house where she falls in love with her lord, Rochester. There's plenty of Gothic creepiness, and Fukunaga's version will play that stuff up. At one point Ellen Page was set to play Eyre, but she's fallen out. Now that there's a director it's likely a leading lady will follow. via Variety
'Jane Eyre' Loses Ellen Page, But Has A New Director
Cinematical —
Bronte and Austen movie adaptations are cyclical things. Every young actress seems to get her shot at playing Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Jane Eyre, or Catherine Earnshaw. Five years later, they're now Mature Actresses, and watching the next crop come through the English classics. Right now, we're on the Brontes (spurred undoubtedly by Bella and Edward) and Ruby Films' adaptation of Jane Eyre spurred a lot of talk when it hooked Ellen Page ...
SIN NOMBRE director to do a new JANE EYRE film?
gordonandthewhale.com —
Director Cary Fukunaga received much acclaim for his debut film SIN NOMBRE, which was released earlier this year and is about Honduran teenagers and their dangerous journey to immigrate into the United States. Variety is now reporting that Fukunaga is close to signing up for another project.
And it’s a project that is very different from Fukunaga’s brutally realistic border-crossing drama. The Fukunaga (epic nickname and all it took was adding the to his last name) is in talks to direct another film adaptation of the well-known 19th century novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. The story of Jane ...
SIN NOMBRE Helmer Stepping to JANE EYRE
We Are Movie Geeks —
The director behind SIN NOMBRE, Cary Fukunaga, is in final negotiations with UK’s Ruby Films to helm a new adaptation of JANE EYRE. More than interest in the story (EYRE has been adapted countless times before including a TV adaptation for BBC in 2006) is the idea that Fukunaga, whose SIN NOMBRE tore up audiences around the world on this year’s festival circuit, is an up-and-coming director who is quickly making a name for himself.
Moira Buffini, who adapted the graphic novel TAMARA DREW for director Stephen Frears, is behind the script. According to the article on Variety, the new film will play up the gothic ...
