Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog

Today ( October 17th ) is Matthew Macfadyen 's 42nd  birthday! Matthew , best known to us P&P Fans as Mr. Darcy  (forever) of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film , was born David Matthew Macfadyen in Great Yarmouth, Northfolk, England, UK in 1974 (42 years ago today!). Happy Birthday Matthew Macfadyen!!! (Mr. Darcy!) Some interesting MM quotes talking about his iconic Darcy role/character (while you watch an MM Birthday tribute video ...though in Spanish, but it included an English translation/subtitles below) worth re-posting here again and again as well as updated MM in various characters collage below...

I've always wanted  Keira Knightley   &   Matthew Macfadyen  to work together again in another movie whether they pair up as a couple or just co-stars. Well, good news! It may not be the former, but looks like the latter is happening,  Keira & Matthew are reuniting and co-starring together in a new Walt Disney Pictures feature film titled The Nutcracker and the Four Realms , a live-action adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffman’s Christmas Eve tale about a young girl who finds a Nutcracker doll among the family’s gifts and is charged by her parents to take special care of it.  This will be their third film together since Pride & Prejudice and Anna Karenina ! The only one missing is director Joe Wright , but unfortunately, he's not directing this one, Lasse Hallström ( Chocolat , The Hundred-Foot's Journey ) is. Still, I'm glad KK & MM are going to be in the same movie. So, yeah, I'm even more excited and looking forward for this movie...
