New P&P Movie Update: Casting Announced!
As previously posted here earlier (sorry for the delay...I thought it was 9 PM ET, but it's actually 9 PM PST, lol), there's a new Pride and Prejudice movie in development/pre-production and will be filming in Colorado in June (2010). My friend Bonnie of PaperCut Productions (you can follow here on twitter) is directing this film and has sent me this info herself (Thanks Bonnie! :) )...As I said, this is a new modern version of P&P and she told me that she has met Keira Knightley in person and that Keira has read the script for this film. Keira is not in this new film version though, unfortunately, but has said that she had read the script, loved it, and thought it was very good and funny.

ReplyDeleteYou're Welcome, Laura. Congrats on getting the part of Mrs. Forster. :)
ReplyDeleteJeane, I'm SO excited! ! think Mr Darcy is very handsome and I like the look of Lizzy a lot. :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too, Liz! Glad you are as well. Thanks for commenting here. Yeah, I agree with you, Mr. Darcy looks handsome. I'm waiting for more photos of him in the next post as well as for Elizabeth Bennet. She looks pretty herself. Can't wait to see a photo of them as Elizabeth & Darcy!
ReplyDeleteBtw, this film will be like Leo DiCaprio's modern take of Romeo & Juliet...not too mention American cast and will be like a romantic-comedy kinda like the 2003 P&P Mormon/Latter Day Saints except with much better (looking) cast and story. This will also be very close to the book, but with a modern twist.
I'll post more updates on this as soon as they're available. :)
Oooh, I LOVE Leo's "Romeo & Juliet". I hope it's gonna be shown internationally. (LOL - I'm supposed to be doing my weekly teaching report now as I need to submit it in 4 hours but I can't help but check on this! :-D)
ReplyDeleteJust went thru the list of actors. Did you know that Sorsha Morava's (Georgiana Darcy) birthday is on Feb 5th ? Must be a great birthday gift for her, huh ... :-)
Yeah, I love Leo's R&J version too. So, this film according to the director will be something like that. She's looking at houses/mansions right now for Darcy and Lady Catherine's homes. She told me that she'll take photos and will send them to me as soon as she can, so I can post them here and share them with you all. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm compiling photos of the cast/actors. I have more of the actor playing Mr. Darcy. He looks gorgeous and hot in those photos, lol. I'll update the cast photos as soon as I have most of the main cast.
Stay tune and keep checking this blog for more udpates on this! ;)
No, I didn't know that. Thanks. She's following my P&P twitter page (the director and other cast too including the actress who will be playing Elizabeth Bennet) on twitter. I'll tell her a happy late birthday in a bit, lol.
Great, the guy playing Mr. Darcy is very handsome. I am excited to see how this goes. I will definitely stay tuned.
