Forever Elizabeth Bennet


Have you heard of the new " Pride and Prejudice " ?

Keira Knightley was casted as the new Elizabeth Bennet for the 2005 P&P. Its finished filming and should be releasing soon...

Don't get me wrong; Keira is a good actress and I think she's similar enough to Jennifer to play Lizzy...

But Jennifer will always be Elizabeth to me....

I do get you wrong. I don't think Keira Knightley is anything like a good actress - she was just about tolerable in Bend it like Beckham, although her expensive orthodontics got in the way rather, but King Arthur was almost unwatchably bad.

I don't know much about Keira Knightley. I hope they do well with the adaption, but it's pretty silly to re-do it after the 1995 version!! Nothing can compare- especially with a 6 hour long adaption with perfect research into the period, and perfect actors, etc.

I'm so mad that they're remaking it. I mean, why remake something that has already been made to perfection?

... will always be the true Lizzy. And the BBC P&P will always be the true P&P. That being said, I'm still totally going to see the new one for fun. But it cannot compare. The old P&P is perfection.

I think Keira Knightly is wonderful in Pirates of the Caribbean, but I can't stand that they are making a new P&P. I could watch the 1995-version forever! Keira Knightly is beautiful, but she isn't a beauty ideal of that time.

Jennifer will be Lizzy forever and Keira Knightly can't be compared to her: she is an extremely mediocre actress and many say she is very pretty but I think sometimes she makes this face that makes her look like she's disgusted with something.
I think it's totally stupid that they're remaking something that is already perfect. BBC's P&P will be forever the best!
