Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog

Later this year, in the Fall of 2015, Pride & Prejudice (2005) film will be celebrating its 10th year anniversary of its theatrical release(September in the UK and November in the US). One of the movie's extras, Daniel Brookes (who met most of the main cast on P&P movie set) has shared here his filming experience as one of the Militia men and his meeting Keira Knightley again in one of her movie premieres in London earlier last year.

I know I have previously posted about Begin Again theme song, Lost Stars here (about 7 months ago, June 2014), but I thought it's worth revisiting and posting here again because who knew 7 months later this song would be nominated for both the Critics Choice Movie Awards and the Oscars, right? I knew it was submitted and in short list contention for an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, but one never knows if it'll make it or not. It didn't get a nod on the recent Golden Globe Awards. Fortunately, when the Oscar Nominations was announced last Thursday, I was hoping, though didn't expect it to get nominated, but it did. So glad it was nominated because I love the song (I have it on repeat on my iPod playlist since I downloaded the track a few months ago) and Keira Knightley(who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Imitation Game, with the film scoring 8Oscar nominations, sounded great with this song and) did very good singing it (loved her version mor…

It's interesting that they both have been attending the same award shows recently and they still haven't been seen reuniting, mingling, or photographed together. I wonder why. Are they not friends anymore? What happened to their Bennet sisterhood?
