Pride and Prejudice 2005 photos
We received some P&P3 stills from the company that is doing publicity for Working Title (in the U.K.). There are no new pictures, but we don’t believe in hoarding that which does not belong to us anyway, so feel free to take any of these that catch your fancy. Play with them in Photoshop, make templates and stationery, icons, &c. Have fun.

We are promised behind the scenes photos next week, and possibly other goodies for U.K. Janeites. Stay tuned.

I don’t think I’ve seen that pic of Jane + sisters yet - I really like it. Thanks!

Why is Lizzy not wearing gloves at the Netherfield ball???

Ha ha ha Heathcliff/Darcy… Oh, too funny. I REALLY like the last photo. He looks like he’s trying to get by without touching anyone. “Must.Not.Touch.Riff-raff.Girly-girls.”

I don’t know if these pictures and others can hold me off until November 18th!

It is rather a Heathcliff moment isn’t it… I just can’t wait to see this!

The Meryton assembly looks like a hoe-down. I can’t imagine that Darcy & Co. would have even gotten out of their carriages, much less mingle in the low rent district.

I love the first picture of Jane, Kitty and Lydia (or who I like to call Lydiot, in case the pronunciation does not translate well to text, that is a combination of Lydia and idiot) I think it captures each of the characters very nicely - as well and their ages. But oh my goodness, they have made Mr. Bennet look like the county drunkard. I know Mrs. Bennet could drive someone to drink but come on.

Deb! Gritty realism! Didn’t you get the memo?

I love the last one with Darcy, he looks so stiff as he watches everyone else have fun.
He really does look like Heathcliff coming out of the mist like that…very good looking too I might add.
November 18 needs to get here faster!

Oh, I can’t wait for the movie to come out. I am so excited and the pics are great. Haha to Heathcliff.
Did you see that Darcy even proposes to Lizzy outside (in the rain). see the trailer.

My sister was in the same year as tamzin Merchant (gergiana darcy,P&P3)in school and they were friends when we lived abroad!!

I am not a big fan of Mr. Bennett. He is mean and sniping and is just plain abusive to both his wife and his 3 younger daughters. Ms. Bennett is an easy target, but at least she is actively trying to save her girls from destitution…a goal that Mr. Bennett ignores….I guess ’cause he will be dead when it happens.
MacFayden is hunky enough for me. He is able, at least in pictures & trailers to combine haughty with a kind of unease which helps to make it sensible that he is attracted to Lizzy at all.

Desta, I love Mr. Bennet, because he amuses me. I submit that the abused wife and daughters (i.e., the three youngest) are not much put out by his abuse, because they are too bloody stupid to understand it.
I am also not much sympathetic to Mrs. Bennet, because I think her mania to marry off her daughters is inspired not by altruistic motives as much as by personal vanity. Recall how Jane tells us she likes to talk about Mrs. Bingley and Mrs. Darcy to all her friends (reminding them that she married off her daughters better than they did). If she was so concerned about her daughters’ happiness, she wouldn’t have tried to marry Lizzy off to Collins, to whom she was extremely ill-suited. Then remember how Mr. Bennet, not knowing that Lizzy truly loved Darcy, tried to keep her from marrying him because he feared she would be in danger of ending up disliking Darcy and being tempted to have an affair–a circumstance unfriendly to women of that day and age, and bad morality at any time. Look at how Maria Rushworth ended up, which is what he feared for Lizzy. He knew men would always be attracted to her “lively talents.”
Also recall that Mrs. Bennet was more worried about Lydia’s wedding clothes than that she had been living in sin with Wickham for a fortnight. She thought it was just peachy, because Lydia was married–to a man who could not support her and who ended up despising her. Mr. Bennet did not want to let them into the house. He cared more about his daughters than Mrs. Bennet–at least I think that’s what Jane Austen wants us to believe.
That being said, I think Matthew will be a great Darcy, too.

Have any of you seen the mini series with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Colin Firth was a great Darcy. Personally Matthew Mcwhatever looks like a pretty boring Darcy to me, but well see in November!

mr.darcey is gorgeous!

Hey guys! Maybe someone here could help me out here… I saw the movie about two weeks ago (I live in Argentina, by the way), and it ends right after Mr Bennet gives Lizzie consent to marry Mr Darcy.
My question: does it really end like that or am i missing a scene or two?
Thanks.
