The new Pride and Prejudice

This little article made me smile. And I smile a lot whenever I watch an episode of BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Darcy as the gentleman of dreams. And Firth as Darcy.

The new version arrives in Singapore early December. Can Keira and Matthew inherit their roles from Jennifer and Colin with praise? Word so far is, yes. This should be a December treat then.

loobylu has this rather interesting review of it here - http://www.thevalve.org/go/valve/article/pirates_of_pemberley/

i haven't exactly read it yet, but she calls it a "scathing review".

(i'm still trying to read through Clara! =))

Hiyo a l,

Thanks for the link - I loved it! The whole piratey possibility etc. =) It's too bad the chance encounter between Darcy and Lizzy at Pemberley gets swept over. Ah! Well, despite it all, I still hope to enjoy the film. It might be tough though if all the things I loved about the '95 series are gone and the new film has nothing to replace them with.

By the way, I'm taking a little break from Clara and varying my reading. It's tough carrying on with that kind of language. But I hope you press on! I'll return to Clara later this month. =)
