We post this in the knowledge that Certain Parties have wanted to see it… :D

The latest issue of the Jane Austen Centre at Bath’s e-mail newsletter came out today, including a link to an interview with Matthew Macfadyen that was included in the latest issue of Jane Austen’s Regency World magazine. We liked the ending, where he tells the Janeites in the most gentlemanly sort of manner possible that he is taking some time off–and may read some more Austen during his break. (We recommend Emma, as Mr. Macfadyen may recognize himself in a certain country gentleman.)

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE to be shown in the U.K. with the “alternative” ending

The public has spoken: we received the following press release today.

Pride and Prejudice re-released with Alternative ending

Last week saw the US release of Universal and Working Title’s hugely successful film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. What followed was a phenomenal wave of British press and public interest in debate about the extended ending that has never been released to UK audiences.

On Friday 25th November, United International Pictures will release this extended version in selected theatres across the UK and Ireland.

Producer Paul Webster said, “We were absolutely delighted in the continued interest in Pride & Prejudice and are excited about the opportunity to show the US ending to the British public.”

We’ll try to find out which theatres will show the extended version.

ETA: The list of theatres will become available next week. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear.
