icons: Jane Eyre 2011

[olde_fashioned]

Even though my initial reaction upon hearing of yet another adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's beautiful novel Jane Eyre was "NOT AGAIN!", I am very much liking the looks of the trailer and promotional images, both of which inspired me to whip up a quick batch of icons in celebratory anticipation of the film's theatrical (!!!) release in March of next year. (And Judi Dench, yay!)

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:




Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.

Yes I was thinking about that!! I've also been contemplating rereading the book, myself...it's been SO long!

[timelady-watson.livejournal.com]

I was kind of the same way, especially after hearing who was cast as Jane. I still have my doubts about her. I think Michael & Dame Judi will steal the movie. I adore Judi Dench!

I think my heart will forever belong to the Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephen one though.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland yet, so I can't say, but she LOOKS good. Ruth Wilson didn't look right at all.

I'd watch Judi Dench take out the garbage!

[softfallen.livejournal.com]

Not taking any right now, but I wanted to tell you how lovely they all are!!!

[xeuterpex.livejournal.com]

it looks beautiful, but alas, neither Jane nor Mr Rochester are British.

[xjustinyx.livejournal.com]

..and Ruth Wilson is from Kent, not Yorkshire ;)

I don't think the actors' nationalities will be a problem. Seems like Mia and Judi are attempting Yorkshire accents as well which is a nice touch!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ciaran Hinds is Irish, IIRC, and he played a pretty darn good Rochester. I'm more concerned with the authentic "feel" and true-ness to the original novel than the actors' nationalities--just so long as they can carry a convincing English accent. ;)

[milusia.livejournal.com]

No Toby Stephens? I don't like it already. But I guess Dame Judi is worth giving a try, as always :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Actually I'm pickier about my Janes than I am my Rochesters! LOL.

Judi Dench is ALWAYS worth giving a try! ;)

Lovely icons! 5 and 12 are my favourites, so creative! I also got iconing vibes from the trailer, but alas, not yet. Got many other iconing plans first!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

1,5,8 and 14 ! Beautiful icons olde! So thrilled to see you iconing the trailer as well !:D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Mwahaha, I'd like to do more in future, but this is enough to get a few out there. ;)

Now when the TDKR trailer comes out.........>:)

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOL I CAN`T IMAGINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TDKR TRAILER COMES OUT ;D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I can: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

LOL

[meltintall3.livejournal.com]

7 and 8 are stunning. Absolutely gorgeous! 3 is very nice as well.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[memonechan.livejournal.com]

Ooooh I'm in love with the coloring of #1!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :D

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, 9. And 12-15.

My favorite book ever, so even though I've seen 4 movies already, I'm thrilled for another. I already have a trailer screen cap as my wallpaper :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I adored this book, but I think I'm due for a reread. ;D I'll watch any schlocky crap that's labeled as JE, so I'll definitely see it eventually, however the thought of seeing Jane on the BIG SCREEN is incredibly appealing!!

[hellandbliss.livejournal.com]

Taking 6, 7 and 15 for future use, thank you!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment!

[xjustinyx.livejournal.com]

Really beautiful :) I might use some later once I've seen the production. Looking forward to it!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment!

[enchantinglight.livejournal.com]

Never been much of a Jane Eyre fan, but I did watch the trailer for this one, and I found it intriguing. We shall see...

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oi vey, whyever not? ;P Have you read the book? It's melodramatic, to be sure, but OHHHHHHHH is it wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

[enchantinglight.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I think I may have more "skimmed" the book than read the book, to be quite, quite honest. I suppose I should give it a proper try some day. I've seen a couple of different adaptations of it, so that may be where most of my opinions are coming from.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You really should! It's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but we like so much of the same things, maybe if you really sat down and got INTO it, you'd like it? *crosses fingers*

[enchantinglight.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll try to give it a "real" read sometime during the long, cold winter ahead. One must do something besides homework! :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Tee hee, that's the perfect time of year--I still think of cold, bleak, rainy days (which I'm almost alone in loving) as "Jane Eyre weather". ;)

You'll have to keep me posted on your thoughts once/if you do start it! :D :D :D

[enchantinglight.livejournal.com]

You can have all of my cold, bleak rainy/snowy days! I don't want them!

I will! :-)

[princessjune.livejournal.com]

I love these icons! I really hope that this adaptation will be good, I hope that they don't ruin everything.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ditto and amen, June! My sentiments _exactly_. *crosses fingers*

hehe

[haleyknitz (from livejournal.com)]

ahhhh Mr. Rochester. These are beautiful! I love them all.

Re: hehe

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ;D

[ladyadeone.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons! I'm not taking any at the moment, since I'm not sure whether to be a fan of this adaptation or not. But they are all really good. I think my favorites are 1, 4, 6, and Ohhh! 7 for sure!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided, either, but I've learned to be able to appreciate something for it's visuals even if I can't stand the movie itself (P&P 2005 is a prime example). This one is definitely pretty!

[xcircus-freakx.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for this movie! I love Jane Eyre, and Mia Wasikowska is one of my favorite actresses. Snaging #6, will credit. ♥

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I'm excited too, LOL, I just hope it's good!!

Thank you for the comment!

[an-ardent-rain.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lovely icons. 8 is definitely my favorite.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment! :)

[750virago.livejournal.com]
