Meet the New Mr. Rochester

Production on a new version of Jane Eyre has begun in the U.K. with Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) in the title role…and the very handsome Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) as Mr. Rochester.

The supporting cast includes Jamie Bell, Judi Dench, and Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky).

But back to Fassbender, whom producer James Schamus calls one of “today’s most promising new stars.” I am thrilled that this German-born actor is getting the showcase he deserves.

The guy’s so easy on the eyes and beyond-magnetic.
