Pride and Prejudice On Feb. 28

[King Fernando]

Universal Studios Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Pride & Prejudice for 28th February 2006 priced at $29.98 SRP. The glorious world of Jane Austen is at last brought back to the big screen in all its romance, wit, and emotional force in Pride & Prejudice. Faithful to the setting and period of the beloved novel and filmed entirely on location in the U.K, this is the first film version of the story in 65 years. The classic tale of love and misunderstanding unfolds in class-conscious England near the close of the 18th century. The five Bennet sisters - Elizabeth, or Lizzie (Keira Knightley), Jane (Rosamund Pike), Lydia (Jena Malone), Mary (Talulah Riley), and Kitty (Carey Mulligan) - have been raised well aware of their mother's (Brenda Blethyn) fixation on finding them husbands and securing set futures. News of the arrival of two distinguished gentlemen Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy reaches the Bennet family whose two eldest daughters Jane and Elizabeth are eligible for marriage. Jane is immediately taken with Bingley but Elizabeth finds the proud Mr. Darcy very disagreeable. She later discovers that there's more to the seemingly arrogant Darcy than first meets the eye.

Available in separate Widescreen and Full Screen editions features include:
English, French and Spanish DD5.1 Surround
English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles
Audio commentary with director Joe Wright
A Bennet Family Portrait
Jane Austen, Ahead of Her Time
Behind-the-Scenes at the Ball

The more I think about this movie, the more I think I really didn't care for this version at all. It's way too speedy and skims through many important scenes.

I am buying this only because of Keira Knightley.

Only?
I'm buying this but not only because of Keira Knightley.
She adds alot to the film as an actress, but the film as a whole isn't bad at all. I quite enjoyed it (in my Top 15).

Good movie, and I usually hate period pieces. It was so romantic that even I began to swoon.

Well, since it is in your top 15 I will not only watch it for Keira, but also as a film. You and I tend to have about the same tastes in films.
