Launch of "Loving Mr. Darcy"

Greeting visitors of Pride & Prejudice 2005 Blog! Sharon Lathan here, with a formal invitation! I, as you all probably know, am the author of The Darcy Saga - a sequel to P&P that is largely and proudly inspired by the magnificent 2005 movie by Joe Wright. My second novel in the series will be officially released in 3 DAYS!! Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley continues on where the first novel – Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Becom e One – ended. And, in just 4 months the third book in the series will be out. What a year this has been! My head is spinning and I can’t quite wrap my mind around the fact that I am now a multi-published author. Surreal. I am very excited about this book and where I have taken the Darcys. It is a larger novel than the first, both in page number and content. The Darcys travel all over England, socialize with dozens of friends, deal with trials, and explore historical places, all while growing deeper in their love and anticip

Official stills (including a HQ one of Rosamund Pike ) and promo movie posters as well as a new Behind The Scenes (extended) video has recently been released by Touchtone Pictures . Check them all out below! But first, check out the official website for more Surrogates movie info. It is now up and running with lots of updates including videos , photo galleries , and downloads to name a few.

Sherlock Holmes launched a viral campaign website plus a promotional movie and character posters

Here's an update on Kelly Reilly 's upcoming film Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. , Rachel McAdams , and Jude Law . Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures (be it on-set or promo stills) nor a character poster of Kelly in this movie. Only her famous co-stars have stills and promotional character posters from this film. She's mostly just mentioned as one of the co-stars, but you'd think they'd at least have one promo pic or still of her, but no...they didn't. Obviously, she's not one of the leads here, but even in P&P (as Caroline Bingley ), she has at least a few promo stills (but then again, pretty much every character in P&P has a promo still). Oh, well... Anyway, still, I thought I'd post her co-stars' character posters here. But first, here's the latest news... Warner Bros. Pictures has launched a viral campaign for its new film Sherlock Holmes . Click here to visit the viral site. To access the site, type in &qu
