GATW Appears in JANE EYRE, with Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska

One time I was in a movie called JANE EYRE, kind of. Below is the kind and endearing email from the film’s director, Cary Fukunaga (SIN NOMBRE), explaining why GordonandtheWhale.com’s logo appears in the film, and a screenshot of where said cameo takes place. This one was of the defining moments in my career as a journalist when I thought, “I must be doing something right.”

And here’s the screenshot from the film. This takes place toward the end when St John Rivers (Jamie Bell) is talking to Jane Eyre (Mia Wasikowska) in the school’s classroom. What  a cool moment in my life.

My pal Weston Green even conducted a hilarious interview with Fukunaga about it.

(Note: Fukunaga’s email was posted after getting his blessing. He’s a really, really nice guy.)
