Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog

  Just found out that Kelly Reilly is reprising her Wendy role that she had started from L'Auberge Espagnole  (2002) (aka The Spanish Apartment ). The title of the new film is Chinese Puzzle ( Casse Tête Chinois ), the follow up and third installment to Cédric Klapisch's trilogy, which started in  L'Auberge Espagnole  (2002) and Russian Dolls  (2005). Oh, I'm very glad for this new movie as I've seen the previous two films and they were very good and that means Kelly Reilly 's Wendy character would definitely be back (as after what happened to Russian Dolls , I've wondered what was next for the characters and if the filmmakers would make another one...though it's been several years since that movie was released). So yeah, glad they're doing another one. I loved Kelly's Wendy character since the first movie and though she wasn't a central character in the first film, she turned out to one on the second one with Romain Duris' main chara

Not only that, in my humble opinion, Keira Knightley 's best film and best performance (which earned her a Golden Globe and Oscar Nominations for Best Actress in a Leading role for her outstanding performance of Elizabeth Bennet ) was in one of my all-time favorite films, Joe Wright 's Pride & Prejudice , I thought she looked and dressed at P&P premieres , red carpets , and award shows the best as well. Her dresses/gowns were quite memorable especially her stunningly gorgeous Oscar dress . Looking back at her way back in 2005 and 2006 when she was ( 20-21 years old ) promoting her P ride & Prejudice movie ...

Happy 237th Birthday to the lovely, genius and way ahead of her time, beloved English novelist, the one and only, JANE AUSTEN ! Worth re-posting (and slightly edited) for your FYI... Remembering and celebrating her 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 ( 214 years ago) titled "First Impressions" (later changed to "Pride and Prejudice" ). She revised " First Impressions " and published it entitled " Pride and Prejudice " in 1813 ( 199 years ago and will be 200 years next month!).  Jane Austen was born on this day back on December 16th, 1775 (she would've been 237 years old!!! today...) to the local rector, Rev. George Austen (1731-1805), and Cassandra Leigh (1739-1827). She wa

The award nominations snubs continues for Joe Wright 's Anna Karenina and its stars Keira Knightley , Matthew Macfadyen , and Jude Law for the acting categories and even for directing for Joe Wright himself. It's ashamed because these award shows tend to nominate the same actors (mostly for their popularity instead of their acting, which a lot of times were not worthy of a nomination, but they're big stars and popular, so let's nominate them or whatever...surprising, right? NOT!). Will the BAFTA 's and Oscars follow this trend? We shall see their nomination announcements are coming up soon ( Jan. 9 for BAFTA and Jan. 10th for the Oscars ) in January 2013 .  Anyway, let's get to the GG nominations ... On TV, Three Golden Globe Nominations for Downton Abbey , Homeland with 4,  Hatfields & McCoys with 2 nominations . Other GG nominations for feature films starring P&P actors/crew , The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with 2 (including an a

The 19th ANNUAL SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS® NOMINATIONS has been announced this morning and there were lots of snubs than nods! One of them is the big snub for Joe Wright 's Anna Karenina and its brilliant ensemble cast . I may not have seen the movie yet, but I've read some rave reviews for its ensemble cast and Keira Knightley herself. No love from the Critics Choice Awards either for Keira , Matthew , Joe , and AK , except for its two nominations : ANNA KARENINA – 2 Nominations Best Art Direction Best Costume Design There are just 3 more big awards left...

  More Rosamund Pike images! Well, this time, they are four new stills from her new film Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise . Paramount Pictures has released six clips and 23 images (via Collider ) from the upcoming Lee Child adaptation Jack Reacher . Based on the popular series of novels, the film stars Tom Cruise as a man who exists outside the law and exacts his own brand of ruthless justice. Early reviews and reactions seem to be fairly positive for director Christopher McQuarrie ’s thriller, and these clips only reinforce the idea that Cruise was a swell choice to tackle the title role. ( Collider ) The official synopsis for Jack Reacher : When a gunman takes five lives with six shots, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: “Get Jack Reacher!” So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

As the 200th anniversary publication for Jane Austen 's classic novel Pride and Prejudice fast approaches ( January 28, 2013 ), the TV and Film adaptations for the classic novel seems to keep coming. First, there was Academy Award winner Natalie Portman 's still-in-development Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (she was previously set to star and produced, but dropped out due to scheduling conflict...last I heard, she's still producing this film...no news update for this one at this time). Then, the late Director Nora Ephron was set to direct a film version of 'Lost In Austen' (with her recent death last June, no word if this film version of Lost in Austen will still happen...might be unlikely now, but it's still listed as in-development on IMDB), and the very recent The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (an online modernized version of P&P) starring Ashley Clements is currently playing in Youtube with 71 episodes uploaded here: Watch Lizzie's YouTube chann
