The Jane Austen Book Club to be shown at the Toronto Film Festival and JASNA AGM
It’s still hard to tell exactly when The Jane Austen Book Club film will be opening everywhere. The official website says September 21 in New York and Los Angeles, and “coming soon to a theater near you.” We’ve read wide release a week later, a month later, and January (yikes!). Some things we’ve heard from sources makes us think there will at least be a limited release across the U.S. in September/October. However, we can at least give news of two definite screenings, albeit for fairly small audiences.
The New York Times alerted us that the film will have a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Festival website lists the screening on Saturday, September 9 at 9:30 p.m.
Also, the organizing committee of the 2007 JASNA Annual General Meeting in Vancouver has announced that for attendees who staying over on Sunday night, after the official closing of the event, there will be a screening of the film. It’s unclear if this is a special screening, or, since the film might be open by then, if they are renting out a theater. Either way, how fun to see it with fellow Janeites!
