Becoming Jane is coming to Hong Kong!

Becoming Jane is the opening film of the UK Film Festival 2007 to be held in Hong Kong next month! (actually I didn’t know HK has one such festival till I found out about this film…) And you know what? All tickets have been sold out for the two screening sections already! Is Jane really that popular in HK? (I would be overjoyed if that is really true).

 

Just another romantic comedy…with an Austen twist

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that filmmakers are determined to squeeze as much commercial value as possible from our dear Jane. (sigh)

After “Becoming Jane”, here comes another remotely relevant work: The Jane Austen Book Club.
