Columbia Taking British Tack With 'becoming Jane'
A biographical feature called "Becoming Jane," about British author Jane Austen and developed by London-based period-piece specialists Ecosse Films, is in development for Columbia Pictures. "Jane" will be produced by Graham Broadbent, co-founder and former partner at Mission Pictures. The project was
brought to the studio by sales company World Films.
Written by Kevin Hood, the film is described as a biographical portrait of the British writer at about age 20, before she became famous, and involves a love theme with Austen falling for a young Irish lawyer. "Jane" is out to directors, with the studio looking to put the film into production next year (HR 6/29).
Born in 1775, Austen is best known for her books "Pride and Prejudice," "Mansfield Park," Emma" and "Persuasion." Ecosse's credits include "Charlotte Gray" the and "Mrs. Brown."
