Lionsgate has moved up the release of Frank Miller’s The Spirit, from January 2009 to Christmas Day. It’s a huge, and not entirely explicable, show of confidence for the comic book movie, which will now compete against family holiday films and Oscar bait instead of having a January graveyard weekend to itself.- Ellen Page will prove her range by strapping on a corset to play the title role in a BBC Films adaptation of Jane Eyre.
- Sony Classics has acquired Atom Egoyan’s Adoration, which will premiere in competition later this month at Cannes. The film stars Rachel Blanchard, who also appeared in Egoyan’s last Cannes entry, the widely-reviled Where the Truth Lies.
