Where Are They Now? Pride & Prejudice (2005) film's director Joe Wright and Production Crew 20 Years later (Part 3)
I previously posted here about the main cast and supporting cast of Pride & Prejudice (2005) whose careers soared and have continued to be busy after their P&P (2005) film. I thought I'd include the people or rather the key players behind the scenes who made this stunningly beautiful movie happen as without them, this film adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice (novel) wouldn't have been made. Also, some of them are incredibly talented and you may (or may not) have been surprised to have seen their familiar work in other well-known award-winning films. Plus, director Joe Wright not only love working with his actors from P&P in his other films, but he also loves working with the same production crew.
See JW and some of his P&P (2005) film crew (with photos to see what they look like) and where they are now or rather what their current and upcoming films are, 20 years later after their P&P movie...

FYI: Emma Thompson reportedly made an uncredited draft revisions (which she received a special thanks for at the end credits of the film) of the P&P movie's script. Here are the three scenes in which, she contributed additional dialogue for:
1. The swing scene when Charlotte tells Elizabeth she's going to marry Mr. Collins
2. At the Inn in Lambton when Elizabeth tells the Gardiners and Darcy the news of Lydia's elopement to Mr. Wickham
In the scene at the Inn at Lambton, in which Elizabeth Bennet tries to tell her aunt & uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and Darcy about Lydia's elopement with Wickham. Keira Knightley/Elizabeth's walking in and out of the room was Emma Thompson's idea according to Joe Wright's DVD commentary.
3. "Mrs. Darcy" ending scene at Pemberley.
Also, Ms. Thompson might have added a line or two in the second proposal scene, probably the line when Elizabeth said, "Well then, your hands are cold" to Darcy (as P&P screenwriter Deborah Moggach suspected, she said that she didn't write that line when I asked her about it on my recent interview with her on the P&P Blog's Interview with Deborah Moggach here.
