P&P Actors About P&P And Their P&P Roles

Here's a compilation of interviews from the main cast of Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) film. In the following random interviews for some P&P actors featured below, they were asked about their roles, co-stars, and the film. Keira Knightley (Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet) CS : In many of the previous versions of "Pride & Prejudice", the movie belonged to the actor playing Mr. Darcy. In this one, the movie belongs to Lizzie. Any thoughts on that? Knightley : Well, that's good. When you read the book, the story is definitely told through Lizzie's eyes. That was one of the first things that Joe [Wright, director] said is that we really wanted this through Elizabeth's eyes, so you fall in love with Darcy as she does, so you hate him at the beginning and you gradually change you mind. So yes, I think that was a conscious thing. Also, if you've got two hours to tell a story--you have this BBC version that was 5 or 6 hours long to tell the same s

Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet Question: I read you initially did not want to cast Keira Knightley ? Joe : I wouldn't say that I didn't want to cast her, I didn't go to anyone else before Keira but I felt perhaps that she was too beautiful to play Elizabeth Bennet . So I met her anyway, and she was the right age and I was very keen to cast people that were the right age. So I met Keira very late one night in a hotel bar in Montreal and discovered this scruffy little kid who's a tomboy really, sort of spiky knees and elbows, and suddenly it occurred to me that was perfect for Elizabeth . Elizabeth Bennet is a tomboy and she refuses to conform to the feminine ideals of the per

The Ian McEwan adaptation, snubbed in the major Oscar categories, took three prizes including Best British Film at the Grosvenor House ceremony.
