Juno Star Page To Play Jane Eyre In BBC Adaptation

Juno star Ellen Page has landed the lead role in a BBC adaptation of Charlotte
Bronte's classic novel Jane Eyre.
But the casting of the Oscar-nominated actress has reportedly angered a number of U.K. film industry bosses who believe a British actress should have been cast in Page's role. A source tells British newspaper The Express, "No one is doubting Ellen Page's acting abilities but why a BBC movie of Jane Eyre couldn't have a British actress as the lead is pretty hard to stomach." It's not the first time an American actress has attracted controversy by playing beloved characters from classic English literature - last year (07) Anne Hathaway caused controversy when she was cast in the role of author Jane Austen in movie Becoming Jane.
