Trailer Time: Jane Eyre, starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender

Seriously, do you think I would even be bothering if this were just another run of the mill adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre? Of course not, but throw in Cary Fukunaga, director of the powerful immigration film Sin Nombre, and you've got my attention. Throw in Mia Wasikowska and the always charismatic(ok, except in Jonah Hex) Michael Fassbender and you've got a flick I'll be keeping my eyes on.

It won't take long for you to realize that this isn't going to be like any adaptation you've seen before, either. Everything from the creepy musical score to the brooding, heavy gloom hanging over every shot has me intrigued. And there's always been something a bit terrifying about Judi Dench.

Focus Features is looking to have this released on March 11th, 2011.  Check out the trailer and let us know what you think!
