I’m a bit late to this party, friends. But I can tell you that it was worth waiting for, without any reservations. Jane is inspired by the classic Jane Eyre but this graphic novel is a work of art unto itself. I have no idea why I waited so long to pick it up but I would literally kick myself if I could, no pun intended.

Recently, Disney has turned to adapting their animated features into live-action films. Alice In Wonderland set the foundation for upcoming titles like Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty, and now the studio is prepping for yet another live-action film based on one of their famed villainesses.

According to The Hollywood reporter, Disney has just hired Cinderella and The Devil Wears Prada screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna to write the script for Cruella. As you may have guessed, the film will center on Cruella de Vil, animal cruelty extraordinaire and villainess of 101 Dalmatians.

The first trailer for Morning Glory, the new romantic comedy from Notting Hill and Changing Lanes director Roger Michell, has been released online.

The movie, which is also (quite strangely) produced by J.J. Abrams‘ Bad Robot Productions, is a new comedy/romance starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, and Diane Keaton in the leads. It’s written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who previously penned Laws of Attraction, The Devil Wears Prada, 27 Dresses, and was also just hired to write a script for the live-action Cinderella remake.

At first, it seemed like a pretty cool idea — the thought of a beloved childhood classic like Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland given the live-action remake treatment, that is. Now it might be safe to begin wondering just how far these remakes will go.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was surely a visual treat and made lots and lots of money, but aside from that it wasn’t all that well-received. Even so, it wasn’t long before we began hearing of a new project that would take another Disney classic in Sleeping Beauty, and develop a live-action remake based on the evil villain Maleficent.

Now comes word of a third project on the horizon; Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the studio is moving forward with the development of a flesh and blood new version of Cinderella.
