Jena Malone to star in a new scripted series in newly YouTube launched WIGS channel

By -
Apparently Jena Malone has a new scripted series as Dakota (as this WIGS Sizzle Reel video has shown and previewed, no info yet if her character's name will be the title of the series as it appears the first 3 series are title characters, but we'll find out more details on Jena's new WIGS series in the coming months...) in the newly YouTube launched The WIGS channel (see WIGS logo to your left), a new YouTube channel producing high-end scripted series, short films, and docs. WIGS -- Where It Gets Interesting. Premiering May 14, 2012.

Check out and watch the WIGS Sizzle Reel video featuring a couple of quick glimpse of Jena Malone as Dakota (included a few screen captures I made below...in case you didn't spot Miss Malone in the video reel, lol) as well as other JM movie news below...

Also, according to this related Forbes article...
For the first time, YouTube is about to launch an entertainment network with real programming and real stars. The filmmakers debuted it yesterday on Avnet and Rodrigo Garcia at Google’s Brandcast event today in New York. WIGS is described as “a digital channel featuring original series and short films exploring female characters.

Happy Birthday Rosamund Pike!

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...

P&P Movie Script

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):
