Samantha Bloom to play Charlotte Lucas?
KeiraWeb.com reports a rumor (and we stress it is a rumor at this time) that Samantha Bloom, Orlando Bloom’s older sister, will be playing Charlotte Lucas in the Working Title production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
In other P&P3 news, a pic of Matthew Macfadyen in Darcy kit that we haven’t seen before.
ETA: Rumor debunked.
EDIT 4 Feb. 2005: We just received word that Samantha Bloom is indeed in the film as “The Rosings Governess” (we presume meaning Miss DeBourgh’s companion).

I though some readers of your blog might be interested in helping out. Here’s the post proposing the project: http://audhumla.org/archives/2004/08/03/distributed-creation-of-audiobooks/
Thank you!

If the rumor is true, I think it would be very nice. I would love to see her perform. She is a bit too pretty for Charlotte, but that doesn’t matter.
