Ppppphhffftttt!
I wants my Jennifer Ehle with the heaving bosom and I wants her now!
I wants my Darcy in a Wet Shirt and I wants him now!
I want Julia Sawalha in her finest hour, playing a 15 year old Lydia when she was 25 and totally looking and behaving like a 15 year old.
I want all that erotic tension. Again. Give me Autumn 1995!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wilma, the trailer isn't that bad, but the thing is, this film looks like every single costume drama you've ever seen (yawn). I suppose it might be appealing if one has never seen Teh Glory That Is One Of The BBC's Best Costume Dramas Evah, their fabulous, fandabbydozy 1995 P&P. (And yes, Alison Steadman does over-act as Mrs. Bennett, but it still rocks).
Keira seems too modern a Lizzie. (One of my purist friends even found Ehle's Lizzie too modern. I absolutely adored her).
And besides ... she's Keira. (Rolls eyes).
I have yet to understand why Hollywood likes this girl so much. The other English rose I adore is Kate Winslet - she's clever, she's gorgeous, she's done interesting work (I love her Marianne in Ang Lee's Sense & Sensibility, another fine Austen adaptation). Keira just doesn't have charisma, IMO. And she has the same expression all the time, with the same Pouty Lip.
I am not feeling tempted.
