Dublin premiere of Becoming Jane

Filed under: Becoming Jane — Heather L. @ 2:06 pm

Alert Janeite Amo discovered that James McAvoy won’t be attending the Dublin premiere of Becoming Jane on 7 March. The article doesn’t mention where the premiere will take place, so if anybody has more information, it would be appreciated.

A quick search failed to find the Dublin theater in question, but did turn up an 8 March preview of the film plus a conversation with director Julian Jarrold and co-writer Kevin Hood, hosted by The Script Factory at the Screen on the Hill in London. Tickets to this event are £10; see the Script Factory web site for the box office phone and directions. If you go, we’d love a report … and don’t forget your spork.

ITV’s official Jane Austen site

Alert Janeite Sylvia M. posted in comments that ITV now has an official Jane Austen season web site. For now, one can view the trailer (which we’ve been enjoying already), but as of 12 March, the site promises opportunities to “find your perfect match, send a Flirtmail, join in our Seduction Survey, and much more.”

Hmm. Jane knows we love our Flirtmail, and have worn out our cootie-catcher in pursuit of our Favorite Hero so that Seduction Survey will come in handy. But we’re hoping that a fresh, insightful approach to classic literature (and some great pictures and interviews!) just might be covered in the “much more” section.
