Memo to the folks handling “The King’s Speech” at TWC: this is how you rustle up a poster for a period prestige pic. Cary Fukunaga’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” — the first since Franco Zeffirelli’s Charlotte Gainsbourg-starring attempt in 1996 — is one of my most curiously awaited films of 2011. The novel, a personal favorite, has been filmed multiple times, with no screen version quite hitting the jackpot: I’m intrigued, then, to see what fresh insight the young director of “Sin Nombre” will bring to the material. (Here’s hoping the corsets don’t constrict his personality the way they did the similarly indie-based Jean-Marc Vallée’s in “The Young Victoria.”)

With Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender playing Brontë’s tortured lovers, the film couldn’t be more ideally cast — in addition to the above-the-title names, Sally Hawkins also features — and this sleek, elegant poster (just unveiled by Focus, and picked up on by The Playlist) does promise a certain modernity. We’ll find out in the spring.
