Mary Rivers: You're doing something already. May I see?
(Looks at Jane's drawings)
Mary Rivers: Oh, these are wonderful! St. John...
(Mary takes a sketch Jane did of St. John over to him)
Jane Eyre: No, Mary, please.
Mary Rivers: See how skilled Jane is!
St John Rivers: Is this how you perceive me, Miss Elliott?
(Jane remains silent)
St John Rivers: Well. How fierce I am.
- When Adele tells Jane about the ghost that haunts the house, there is a doll dressed in white in the top window of her doll house. This foreshadows events later in the film, since the ghost is actually a mad woman dressed in white who lives in the attic.
- The location of Jane's cottage was so isolated that there was no cell phone reception. A member of the crew had to be stationed in a nearby phone booth with a walkie talkie in case the crew needed anything - he didn't complain, however, as the local residents brought him tea and cookies throughout the day.
- The location used for the Reed's home, Gateshead, is the same house where Gosford Park (2001) was filmed.
- The logo for the popular movie website Gordon and the Whale (owned by Chase Whale) appears towards the end of the movie as a watercolor painting. Director Cary Fukunaga discussed this in an interview with MakingOf.com
- While shooting the climactic post-wedding scene between Jane and Rochester, filming had to be stopped repeatedly because Michael Fassbender's suspenders kept breaking and had to be re-sewn.
