"Are you kidding me?" (to quote Lizzie Bennet of LBD) Finally, a modern (and most talked about) William Darcy made a debut appearance on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (starring Ashley Clements in the title role), the online/youtube series adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It only took about 60 episodes (and no, the previous episode with facelessDarcy and only his body and torso to take a quick glimpse at towards the end of the episode, does not count, lol...such a tease, is it not?) for LBD vlog (video log) series to make Darcy's face appear on the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It's about damn time! I've been waiting and waiting every episode for his appearance...for ages, and almost given up hope of seeing Darcy's mysterious face, lol...as I've been watching this fun and interesting vlog series version of P&P...and while I quite liked and enjoyed watching it...yes, I've seen every single episode (they're like 3-4 minutes long for the most part) since it debuted back in April (on yours truly's birthday, of all days...how cool!) of this year. I must say, it was becoming unpleasant (for like almost 60 episodes...and I find that hard to believe) to watch Lizzie always rant and mocked her future soul mate without having seen Darcy's appearance (and to see his side of the story)...but I already started watching this series and was curious to see how they'll eventually bring him (if they ever did) in into this modern version as I love P&P (and its many different versions and interpretations. I'm very open-minded with other versions even though my personal and all-time favorite is the obvious 2005 version, which I started this blog with and made me love P&P in general). Glad LBD series finally showed Darcy's face in this episode...better late than never!
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (a professionally made scripted web series) starring newcomer Ashley Clements (as Lizzie Bennet) is a modernized YouTube adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel, Pride and Prejudice. The story is told primarily through Lizzie Bennet's Video Diaries, while being supported by her and other characters social media streams.
The LBD vlog series was created by Hank Green and Bernie Su. I first posted about this vlog series here.
Anyway, the new Darcy actor's name is Daniel Vincent Gordh (and watch his debut appearance on LBD's episode 60 below)...
Daniel Vincent Gordh as William Darcy in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
He's cute, isn't he? (But not handsome enough to tempt me! LOL!) Though I thought Bing Lee's much more attractive looking (and the best looking amongst the men of LBD)...but that's just me... This guy's just fresh looking, so it'll take time for me to get used to seeing (and hearing) of him as William Darcy in this series. He, the Darcy actor, does look and reminded me of actor Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Painted Veil)...the whole time I was watching him on this episode (which was supposed to be the first proposal scene for this modern version of P&P). He's like the younger version of him, don't you all agree? Not bad looking at all. He's good looking on his own and better looking than the guy who played Wickham, at least...It's about time they introduced him and showed the audience (who's been demanding to see his face almost every episode, lol) his enigmatic face. Thanks LBD series creators and writers! Now,I'll enjoy watching the rest of the series with excitement and enthusiasm more now that Darcy has a face and made his appearance on Lizzie's vlog, lol. I'll post my review of LBD here once this series ends...In the meantime, I thought this episode was pretty good (of course, in my biased opinion, nothing will ever top the incomparable and brilliant first proposal "rain scene"ofKeira & Matthew's Elizabeth & Darcy in the P&P '05movie, but I still liked and enjoyed seeing this one...). DVG wasreally good on his debut appearance as Darcy. Looking forward to Monday's episode 61 and to seeing more of his Darcy on LBD series!
Today ( January 27th ) is the lovely and ethereally beautiful, Golden Globe , BAFTA , Academy Award nominee for Best Actress (for her outstanding performance as Amy Dunne in Gone Girl ) and Emmy Award winner Rosamund Pike (aka Pride & Prejudice 2005 's very own Jane Bennet )'s 42nd Birthday ! Or is it?!?! Miss Pike herself just posted on her official Instagram page that today is her internet birthday (and somewhat not her real birthday)! Well, color me surprised (much like her P&P co-star Rupert Friend’s birthday confusion...) as I’ve been celebrating her birthday on this day for years, lol. I blame her IMDB and Wiki pages for not providing her real birthdate, if her actual birthday is, in fact not today! Although there’s that one time it was listed on the 28th, but for years and even now it’s still listed as the 27th! Which is correct? Unless, Miss Pike can clarify and correct that..for now, I’ll continue to celebrate her internet birthday today! Still,
Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... One of the many things I love about Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie is the memorable and quotable quotes (and dialogue ). I know pretty much every line/quote uttered by various characters in this movie by heart. There isn't just one to remember because there are so many unforgettable quotes and one-liners from this movie. For my Top 10 Favorite Pride & Prejudice Movie Quotes here, it was very hard to pick and just narrow it down to 10, but that's the point of making a top 10 list. I know I left out a lot, but I managed to pick 10 that I can quote instantly and love the most. Obviously, the top 2 are a fan favorite, but mine too. Here are my Top 10 Favorite P&P Movie Quotes below...
I was looking through old threads over at IMDB a while back and I found a link to the P&P 2005 movie script ... from an awesome JA/P&P fanfiction related site called, Mrs. Darcy's Story Site . I've read the entire script from this site. It seemed accurate with deleted scenes included! (though there were spelling errors on some of the lines...just a lil' typo here and there)... Btw, the webmistress at Mrs. Darcy's site has added her comments to the script comparing this draft with what was actually released on film , which I thought was quite interesting (especially the deleted scenes from the movie ). It was a lot of fun to read. I thought I would keep the link and post it here (a lil' excerpt here) for those of you might be interested in reading this or have been looking for the P&P movie script/transcript online. Here are a few deleted scenes that I found interesting (wish they were shown in the movie or in the dvd special features):
