Description of BECOMING JANE trailer at IMDB
Poster “hungryburger” at the IMDB forum for BECOMING JANE posted a description of the trailer for BECOMING JANE that he saw prior to MISS POTTER. Here’s an excerpt:
Jane Austen is poor and wants to write, doesn’t want to get married. Laurence Fox is playing a rich suitor who proposes to her (and it shows another guy proposing too). And then James McAvoy is introduced and they sort of seem to have a sort of bickering relationship at the start (like all good romances…). They also show him boxing topless- don;t when that would come in in the film!
Possibly right after he saves England from being destroyed by Napoleon’s fleet and is decorated for bravery by the king.
Hey, if you’re gonna make stuff up, go for it.
There’s lots of ball scenes and a really cute bit where Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy secretly touch hands so no one can see.
As for the other actors… there was a little bit with Julie Walters as her Mum, just telling her she should marry Laurence Fox’s character and a Maggie Smith had a line that the whole cinema laughed at: jane is sitting with a notebook and Maggie Smith says ‘what is she doing’ laurence fox replies ‘writing’ and she says ‘well can;t something be done about it?’
We believe Laurence Fox’s character, as well as Maggie Smith’s, were invented characters for the purposes of the film and have no relation to an actual person who lived at that time.
