BECOMING JANE to be featured on BBC One’s FILM 2006
Alert Janeite Franka wrote to tell us that according to a posting at pemberley.com, the BBC One’s FILM 2006 will feature a visit to the set of BECOMING JANE. The show will be broadcast on Monday, October 9 at 11:15 p.m.
As her latest film opens worldwide, Anne Hathaway is doing lots of interviews, many of which mention the film, but with no real new information; however, we were rather amused by a revelation in an article on an Irish site.
Hathaway’s recent run has, naturally, made her actress mum very proud indeed. Well, she was certainly proud when her little girl got to share screentime with Dame Julie Andrews. And even prouder when she signed up to play opposite Meryl Streep. When her daughter informed her mother that she was about to play the young Jane Austen and one of her co-stars would be Maggie Smith, the reaction went beyond pride. To full-blown jealousy. “I actually got into a little bit of trouble with my mum when I quoted her reaction in an American magazine,” says Hathaway. “I said that her reaction was, ‘I’m f**kin’ jealous’, and my mum just freaked out, because she would never use that word. I had thrown it in to add a little extra spice to the punchline, but I won’t be doing anything like that in a hurry again, I can tell you.”
Now, Anne dear. Don’t be Making Up Stories.

One of my friends was an extra in the ball scene at Jane Austen’s brother’s house, and the one thing she did say about the film - other than the fact that the costumes were fantastic - was that Anne’s accent was spot on. She even kept it up when they weren’t filming.

Read this: thia is a part of an Interview with Anne Hathaway in a magazine:
‘The one time I ever showed up for work hung-over, I did it because there’s a scene in Becoming Jane [the soon-to-be-released Jane Austen biopic in which Hathaway stars] where Jane is stricken with cancer, and the director thought that, even with make-up, I still looked too young and fresh,’ she laughs. ‘But imagine if I was showing up like that to the set of Princess Diaries 2!’
