Becoming Jane News Roundup: The Vengeance
Kidding, of course. News is slowing down a bit, but we found a couple pieces of interest.
First, this is a really different and interesting review–of the music.
This is a pretty album, full of lingering romantic passages and much character in places. Adrian Johnston imbues the film with a great deal of heart and soul and that is passed over to the album. The shadow of Joe Wright’s Pride & Prejudice lingers over the film’s marketing and the album cover is very similar to that of the Marianelli album. Of course comparisons will be made between the two scores and although both focus on the piano and embrace the period styles in similar ways, they are very different compositions.
Stephanie Kennedy of ABC Radio in Australia travels to Bath to try to figure out how much of Becoming Jane is true.
GLYNIS HALE: I didn’t particularly like it, I have to say.
STEPHANIE KENNEDY: Why was that?
GLYNIS HALE: Well it wasn’t actually…it’s not true, really.

Just to let you know that Digital Spy has reported the following (sorry if this is not the right place to report!)
Lost in Austen, made by Mammoth Screen, hopes to capitalise on the appeal of the Jane Austen adaptations lined up for spring on ITV. The light-hearted drama follows an Austen fan as she magically switches places with Pride and Prejudice character Elizabeth Bennett, and has to survive in late 18th century England.
