I thought I'd update and post here more about P&P, the most popular Jane Austen novel, the 1995 mini-series, P&P (2005) movie or any of the P&P characters (ie. Elizabeth & Darcy) that were referenced a lot in books, magazines, movies, TV shows, reviews, etc...
Here are a few newer ones of the many references I've compiled here to share with you all, which I've actually first posted here. If you have anything new to share that I haven't posted here. Feel free to comment and post here as well. I'd love to add them here or compile them in a new post. Thanks in advance.
Here's part 4 of P&P novel, Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy, and P&P (2005 film) References in Pop Culture...
First up, the recently published P&P inspired novel titled My Own Mr. Darcy, which was also inspired by the 2005 film and Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy. I haven't read this book yet. I would definitely love to. It's on my must-read list. I heard from those that have read this book that it's a must-read (especially if you're a P&P 2005 movie/MM's Darcy fan...or even if you're not).
My Own Mr. Darcy by Karey White
(book cover image source: Karey White)
Book summary:
After being dragged to the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice by her mother, sixteen-year-old Elizabeth’s life changes when Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Darcy appears on the screen. Lizzie falls hard and makes a promise to herself that she will settle for nothing less than her own Mr. Darcy. This ill-advised pledge threatens to ruin any chance of finding true love. During the six intervening years, she has refused to give any interested suitors a chance. They weren’t Mr. Darcy enough. Coerced by her roommate, Elizabeth agrees to give the next interested guy ten dates before she dumps him. That guy is Chad, a kind and thoughtful science teacher and swim coach. While she’s dating Chad, her dream comes true in the form of a wealthy bookstore owner named Matt Dawson, who looks and acts like her Mr. Darcy. Of course she has to follow her dream. But as Elizabeth simultaneously dates a regular guy and the dazzling Mr. Dawson, she’s forced to re-evaluate what it was she loved about Mr. Darcy in the first place.

Wild Child (2008) [Interesting Note: Working Title/Universal Pictures same production company that produced P&P 2005 movie and parent company/film distributor who distributed P&P movie internationally was the same one who produced/distributed Wild Child movie...so it made sense that they were able to referenced more from the movie including used the music].

"Well, tell me I'm wrong. Just say it because my affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever." (Andrew)
"That's from Pride and Prejudice." (Sydney)
"So? Jane Austen doesn't own words." (Andrew)
[Then, Andrew (towards the end of this scene) added another P&P reference...but in the book, it was actually Mr. Darcy who said the line not Mr. Bennet...]
"As Mr. Bennet told his daughter in P&P, 'I've been a selfish being all my life in practice, though not in principle.'" (Andrew)

And last, but most certainly not least, I've seen this movie maybe once or twice some years ago when I was younger and didn't even remember that P&P novel was referenced a lot including a book cover-tie-in from the P&P 1995 mini-series...interesting.

You've Got Mail starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
"Confession. I have read Pride and Prejudice about 200 times. I get lost in the language. Words like ‘thither’, ‘mischance’, ‘felicity’. I’m always in agony whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are really going to get together. Ah! Read it! I KNOW you’ll love it."- Kathleen Kelly, You’ve Got Mail.
"But you'll never forgive me. Just like Elizabeth." -Joe
"Who?" -Kathleen
"Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. She was too proud!" -Joe
"I thought you hated Pride and Prejudice!" -Kathleen
"Or was she too prejudice and Mr. Darcy was too proud? Oh, I can't remember." -Joe
"I thought you hated Pride and Prejudice!" -Kathleen
"Or was she too prejudice and Mr. Darcy was too proud? Oh, I can't remember." -Joe
KATHLEEN: Yes I do. I'm expecting someone.
JOE: Pride and Prejudice.
KATHLEEN: Do you mind?
JOE: I bet
you read that book every year. I bet you just
love Mr. Darcy, and that your sentimental
heart beats wildly at the thought that he
and whatever her name is are really,
honestly and truly going to end up
together.
KATHLEEN: No. No, he's not staying. No. No, you are not staying.
JOE: I'll get up as soon as your friend comes.
Is he late?
KATHLEEN: The heroine of Pride and Prejudice is Elizabeth Bennet and she's one of the greatest, most complex characters ever written, not that you would know.

you really knew me.
