Pride & Prejudice 2005 film gets more International Cinema re-release listing in 2026 in the UK and more countries!

Image
2025 may have been over and the main 20th anniversary milestone for  Joe Wright 's  Pride & Prejudice  (2005) film starring  Keira Knightley  and  Matthew Macfadyen  in the UK (England/Ireland/Scotland), North America (USA/Canada), and some other European countries (ie. Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland, and Finland), and a couple Asian countries/territories (Australia, Singapore), but many more international countries have later released the movie not in 2005 , but the following year of 2006 , so P&P’s 20th anniversary in other countries continues in 2026 (see IMDB's listing of P&P release dates by countries here ) starting in the month of January (2006) all the way to October (2006)!  So, yeah, looks like more P&P cinema screening events are still happening in 2026 . If a certain country missed it last year, it might be doing it this year for its actual 20th anniversary and theatrical release year!

Happy 250th Birthday  to the lovely, genius and way ahead of her time, beloved English novelist, the one and only,  JANE AUSTEN ! Worth re-posting every year (and slightly edited and updated) for your FYI... Remembering and  celebrating her 250th birthday  today,  Jane Austen , the woman who wrote the original  Pride and Prejudice   novel (which had been made into  several TV and Film adaptations  including the  2005 film,  Pride & Prejudice ), which was her first (can you believe  unsuccessful ?!) submission to a publisher back in  1797  ( 228  years ago) titled  "First Impressions"  (later changed to  "Pride and Prejudice" ). She revised " First Impressions " and published it entitled " Pride and Prejudice " in  1813  ( 212  years ago, 11 months ago this year!).
