Becoming John?

News out of England that the quite romantic life story of Romantic poet John Keats will be made into a movie directed by Jane Campion. The movie will be titled Bright Star, after a poem that Keats wrote for his fiancée Fanny Brawne. Thank god it won't be called something insipid like Becoming John or Ode to Keats.


Keats will be played by young British actor Ben Wishaw, who seems appropriately wan and sallow. He does have to look like he [SPOILER ALERT!] dies of consumption at age 25.
