Austentatious

BBC is set to begin filming a new Pride and Prejudice miniseries next month. I must admit that I'm very ambivalent about this whole P&P 2005 thing. P&P 95 was just about perfect and I really can't imagine Darcy being played by anyone other than Colin Firth. Plus I'm a bit tired of seeing Keira Knightley in everything. On the other hand, I love Jenna Malone and I think she would make a great Lydia. And when it comes down to it, there's no way I can help feeling a thrill of anticipation for another Austen adaptation. Here's the cast per Commanderbond.net:

Elizabeth Bennett--Keira Knightley
Mr. Darcy--Matthew Macfadyen
Lydia Bennett--Jenna Malone
Jane Bennett--Rosamund Pike
