Caroline Bingley a “tiny part” in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE 2005
In a Scotsman.com article on Kelly Reilly, her role as Caroline Bingley in the upcoming adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is described as “tiny” and “a cameo.”
Last year Reilly made four movies one after the other, hence the dye-jobs. As well as The Libertine, she plays catty Caroline Bingley in Pride and Prejudice, alongside Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen. It’s a tiny part, but one she loved doing. “Caroline’s such a bitch. It was delicious playing her, although when you go in and do these small roles you’ve no idea whether you’re any good or not. I still feel that film is something I’m only dabbling in.”
Ms. Reilly will be in the upcoming film THE LIBERTINE with several P&P3 cast members: Rupert Friend (Wickham), Tom Hollander (Mr. Collins) and Rosamund Pike (Jane Bennet), as well as Samantha Morton, who was Harriet Smith in EMMA3.

Caroline Bingley — A CAMEO????
I shudder to think how bad this movie is likely to be. I really do.

Well, if they’re cutting it down to two hours, something has to go. I think a lot of characters will be pared down to the absolute minimum. Better Caroline than Elizabeth.
