Short description
After a bleak childhood, Jane Eyre goes out into the world to become a governess. As she lives happily in her new position at Thornfield Hall, she meet the dark, cold, and abrupt master of the house, Mr. Rochester. Jane and her employer grow close in friendship and she soon finds herself falling in love with him. Happiness seems to have found Jane at last, but could Mr. Rochester's terrible secret be about to destroy it forever?
What's left behind the scenes
- Cary Joji Fukunaga wanted to show how strongly Edward Rochester's presence affects the lives of the residents of Thornfield Hall, so he wrote a scene in which the characters played by Judi Dench, Mia Wasikowska, and Romy Settbon Moore attempt to have a conversation while Rochester is shooting outside the window. This scene does not exist in the novel. In the film's commentary, Fukunaga states that this is the only scene written specifically for the movie.
- The home of the main character (played by actress Mia Wasikowska) was located in a remote area where there was no cell phone reception. One of the crew members had to stay constantly in a phone booth with a radio in case something was needed for filming. Local residents frequently brought him tea and various treats.
- Cary Joji Fukunaga chose not to film the burning of Thornfield Hall, as he wanted to remain faithful to the book, where everything is told from Jane's perspective. In the book, Jane is not present during the fire.
- During the filming of the post-wedding scene featuring Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester (played by Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender), shooting had to be interrupted multiple times because Fassbender's character's suspenders kept breaking.
- Elliot Page (formerly known as Ellen Page) was initially considered for the lead role but later declined the project.

This scene is not in the novel. In the film commentary, Fukunaga says that this is the only scene written specifically for the film.

- To create a gothic atmosphere, many scenes were filmed by firelight or candlelight.
- Cary Joji Fukunaga chose not to film the burning of Thornfield Hall because he wanted it to be just as it was in the book, where everything is told from Jane's perspective. According to the book, Jane was not present during the fire.
- The protagonist's house (played by actress Mia Wasikowska) was located in a remote area where even cell phones had no signal.

- A significant part of the novel on which the film is based takes place in the 1830s, but director Cary Joji Fukunaga altered the timeline, and the film's action takes place a decade later. The reason was that the clothing of that period was rather unattractive, and the director wanted Mrs. Reed, played by Sally Hawkins, rather than Jane Eyre, to be filmed in such attire.
