Have you heard about this movie? It look positively scrumptious! Go watch the trailer, and see for yourself!
I was flipping through the (glossy, gorgeous) pages of British Country Living last night when I came across a small blurb about this new movie. It stars Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen and that nice young James McAvoy - the one who played Mr. Tumnus in Narnia - as her love interest (or so it would seem from the trailer). It also stars James Cromwell, Julie Walters and Dame Maggie Smith. Wow, say no more - I'm there!
Becoming Jane opened last month in the UK and is listed as opening in the states this August - but in limited release. Oh, sassafrass! They did that with Miss Potter, too! Why would such a gem of a movie not open countrywide? You know how long we wait must between movies of this genre? Period movies, pretty movies ~ movies that fill our hearts with a balm that lingers for years, even taking the sting out of ordinary household chores on occasion.
These movies, how I love them. And I can't wait to love this one.
