I have previously mentioned the
Emma Roberts' teen flick
, Wild Child in the
Pride & Prejudice References in Pop Culture (Part 2) as one of the
movies that referenced P&P movie,
but I've never seen the movie till now when ABC Family recently premiered it last Sunday. I had DVR'd it, since I didn't get to see it when it aired. Just saw this movie this past Thursday and now I know which part/scenes from the movie it references
P&P movie and mentions
Keira Knightley. I thought it was pretty cool and had to laughed at those two brief scenes (including one of the characters sketching one of
Keira's
Elizabeth Bennet's
costumes/dresses and showed pictures of
KK as
EB from the
P&P movie...see screen cap I made of it on top, to your left or below), as they were funny, lol. I wish I have the clips to show and share here, but unfortunately, there seems to be no clips of these two scenes in YT or anywhere else that I could find.
So...
Here are
screen caps of the
two scenes (which I thought were the funniest scenes) from
Wild Child movie...
Wild Child (2008)
-
Harriet (
Georgia King) goes to the social dance dressed as
Keira Knightley's
character Elizabeth Bennet with two guys (who were actually girls) dressed up as
Mr. Darcy (lol), she enters to a music (the opening track titled,
Dawn) from the
Pride & Prejudice movie, and then
recites to Freddie (Alex Pettyfer) one of the "
Mrs. Darcy" lines from the movie and pouts like
KK...lol!
Harriet: "Mr. Darcy! ...You may only call me Mrs. Darcy when you're completely, perfectly, and incandescently happy."
In another scene before that, she was drawing a sketch of one of
Keira Knightley's Elizabeth Bennet's dress/costume from the movie and she had pictures of Keira as Elizabeth Bennet. Also, she told the girl to make her dress an exact replica to
Keira's Elizabeth Bennet's dress as complete
"authenticity" was what she was aiming for, lol. Then, she went on to say,
"Charlotte overheard Freddie saying I look exactly like Keira Knightley."
Plus, an Interesting thing to note here...
Georgia King, the actress who played the bad, head girl
Harriet in
Wild Child (with
Julia Robert's neice
Emma Roberts and the late
Natasha Richardson, who attended the
NYC Premiere of
P&P movie back in
2005), also she appeared in a small role with
P&P '05's
Keira Knightley (the very same
Elizabeth Bennet and
actress her character
Harriet wanted to be in
Wild Child, lol) in
The Duchess, co-starred with
Mr. Darcy himself,
Matthew Macfadyen in
Little Dorrit and
Talulah Riley in the film
St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. Also, a
P&P connection too!
Wild Child was produced by
Working Title Productions,
Studio Canal and distributed by
Universal Pictures...the same production companies and studio who
produced and
distributed the
2005 P&P movie.
Also, after watching
Wild Child, I happened to catch one of the episodes' reruns of
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch on ABC Family (again, lol) that same day...and wow, another
P&P reference...but this time, they were
Pride and Prejudice novel/Jane Austen references.
Check out the
screen caps I've also made as well as transcribed the
Sabrina quotes mentioning
JA and
P&P novel. Also, I've included an embedded the YT clip of that particular scene for you to watch (if you haven't seen it yet) below...
Keira Knightley's ‘Last Night’ film will be opening at the 2010 Rome Film Festival on October 28th. The Rome Film Festival website also has a new HQ still of Keira (as Joanna Reed) from Last Night film (as you can see to your left...see a larger version of it below...).
