Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) and Julie Walters (Mrs. Weasley) are among the cast of "Becoming Jane," a film about Jane Austen's romance with Irish lawyer Tom Lefroy. Their respective roles have not yet been announced. The film also stars Anne Hathaway (of "The Princess Diaries" and "Brokeback Mountain") as the British author, and is slated for release in 2006.
