New P&P3 stills and a few seconds of footage
Alert AustenBlog Reader Cinthia wrote to tell us of some new P&P3 links that she saw at The Republic of Pemberley: film stills from a Danish site and a clip about Focus Features that has a few seconds of footage from the film. (Click on Media, then About Focus, then Focus Reel, and choose your desired media viewer and clip size.) The P&P footage is about halfway through and is only a few seconds, but it’s something! (Also there’s a Lizzy/Darcy near-snog moment near the end of the clip!) Thanks, Cinthia!
ETA: More photos here and here.
ETA: KeiraWeb.com has extracted the P&P portion into its own clip, and also provided screencaps from the clip. Please remember to right click and save as!

I wish there was more. I wish a trailer of some form was out now. I think that would be excellent. As it is these pictures are beautiful. I espically love the one with Lydia, Kitty, and Jane, as well as the one with Lizzy and Darcy. They all have this soft glow about them that is breathtaking.

One criticism (yes, I know it’s not even out yet, and I know I said I would reserve my judgement until I have seen it) but when is it ever proper for a gentleman to be seen by a lady (who is not yet his wife) without his neck cloth? That bothers me… oh, and that hideous green dress, too!
One thing I did like, “Jane” looks lovely and all windswept!!!

No neckcloth, no hat…but he IS striding through the mist in manner of Heathcliff and similar.
I also like the queues on the men in the dance scene, but I can’t believe Lizzy went to a ball looking like she just rolled out of bed!

I KNNNNOOOOOWWWW! Of course I don’t have my copy of P&P right here, but what about the line in it that said “Lizzy took great care to look well that night” (or something like that) for the Netherfield ball, if indeed that was a scene from the Netherfield Ball and not the assembly. If it was the assembly, then Darcy was justified in saying that she was only tolerable!

I do not think it is the Netherfield Ball, from what it looks like it looks like the assembly. If you look at the picture of Jane, Kitty, and Lydia, in the carriage, they all look lovely, with very pretty white dresses on, and their hair is done up with all sorts of decoration. In contrast the big dance hall scene, Kitty and Lydia all have their hair sort of unkempt-no more than Lizzie’s-but for two young ladies who are so concerned about appearance it is odd that they would all go looking so dowdy to Netherfield. Especially not with Mrs. Bennett examinging everything they do.
If anything that is Lizzie in the White dress seated next to the driver of the carriage, as she is going home from the ball.
Well thats just my two cents.

I think this picture shows the Bennet family at the Netherfield Ball.

Yes, I think that one is from Netherfield. BTW, some of those stills in UIP Netherlands I had not seen them. Here is the link:

Is Wickham the young man in blue uniform?

I am moved to comment on these pictures that Cinthia shares -
http://www.uip.nl/prideandprejudice.html
1. Your man in the top right picture - I think that’s Darcy? Looks like he just took the packet over from Paris. He’s taking a few days off from his judicial duties of sending aristocrats to the guillotine.
2. Whereas the fellow below, in the blue frogged coat, is presumably an ensign in the Ruritanian Hussars, on an exchange scheme with the ____shire Militia?

Ruritanian Hussars! LOL! I’m pretty sure that is Wickham, not Col. Fitzwilliam. That is an odd uniform. Didn’t Mrs. Bennet refer to scarlet coats? Can’t we assume from that that the Blankshires wore scarlet? I know that all soldiers didn’t wear scarlet *is temporarily distracted by mental image of Sean Bean in green rifleman’s uniform* but that just looks wrong. However, I’m more of an expert in naval uniforms myself.
I do believe that the dancing scene at the Danish site is the Meryton assembly, but it’s still a ball and Lizzy would have been properly dressed for it.

At least the final proposal scene promises to generate more heat than Davies’ disappointment.

The actor in the blue frogged coat must be Wickham, as he is shown in other pictures at http://www.kkwavefront.org/media/thumbnails.php?album=146 in a scarlet coat. Perhaps the blue frogged coat is a shot of him after he went in the regulars? No idea.

Julie B. I was thinking that as well. I would think that the different departments of the Armed Forces would have different uniforms. Much like the Difference between the Navy, Army, Airforce and Mariens in the US Military system.
In any case I think he looks better in the Blue Uniform, for some reason it suits Wickhams deceptive nature, all frills and pastels on the outside disguising the truth within.

I thought that after my last post, that it was his uniform in the regulars.
Robyn, different branches did have different uniforms–of course they didn’t have an air force, but the Marines wore red coats (you can see them in the Hornblower and Master and Commander films) and naval officers wore blue. At that time there were no regular uniforms for the common seamen. The army had all sorts of different uniforms, depending on the unit. For instance, the 12th Light Dragoons (the hope of the nation), Captain Tilney’s regiment, wore green uniforms, so the NA movie got that wrong. Not that I think they cared much.
I don’t believe that “General Blank’s regiment” that Wickham was to join as an ensign was ever named specifically, so they had scope for the imagination, as Anne Shirley would say.

Mags is right the dancing scene at the Danish website is indeed the Meryton ball
