Production Weekly reports that Michelle Williams ("Brokeback Mountain"), is set to play the title character in Angela Workman's BRONTE, a big screen biopic based upon the life of Charlotte Bronte, author of classic novel ‘Jane Eyre'.

The cast also includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Imelda Staunton, Brian Cox and Ben Chaplin. Workman, a theater actor, will direct from her own script, which starts production later this year.
