These are such fun quizzes that you are posting for all of us to enjoy!!

Ninja Elizabeth

Actually, Keira and Rupert did not get together as a couple until after… and yes they are definitely still together. She attended the Berlin Film Fest with Rupert for his film "Cheri" and might be walking the premiere carpet with him for "Young Victoria"

Btw, I love this P&P BTS, quizzes and games you posted here, Sharon. Great idea! You should post these in my P&P Blog (for fun)…I’d love it if you do, in between your part 2 and 3 posts. That would be awesome for everyone to try and play these quizzes and games. 🙂

Jeane

Hmm, let me see, if I can get them all right (and without looking everyone’s answer too), lol… 😀

1. Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn
2. Joe Wright
3. 19 (as Keira was 20 when the movie was released
4. 30 (or 29-30…this I’m not quite sure, but I’m guessing he was at this age around filming, lol)
5. The Duke & Duchess of Devonshire
6. 4 (Oscar), 2 (Golden Globe), and 6 (BAFTA)
7. Working Title Productions
8. Spooks (UK title)/ MI-5 (USA title)
9. Rosamund Pike & Joe Wright (no longer together, unfortunately) and Keira Knightley & Rupert Friend (still together)
10. Yes, of course, and in order too from oldest to youngest. Rosamund Pike (Jane), Keira Knightley (Lizzie), Talulah Riley (Mary), Carey Mulligan (Kitty), and Jena Malone (Lydia)
11. Keira and Matthew (they were so into the scene when they rehearsed that scene that they almost did the "almost kiss" scene…)
12. I think because it was the year that Jane Austen wrote the first draft, in 1797.
13. No, Joe Wright wasn’t well-known before when he directed P&P. I’ve never heard of him until the movie came out, lol.
14. Dario Marianelli (he didn’t win an Oscar for this one, unfortunately, but won for Atonement…the other Joe/Keira/Brenda movie)
15. She was reading the "First Impression" (the original title of the novel before it was changed to P&P)
16. Jena Malone

Kayla

1. Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn (My favorite Bennet parents)
2. Joe Wright
3. 19
4. 29
5. 12th Duke of Devonshire
6. 4 Oscars, 2 Golden Globes, 6 BAFTAS
7. Working Ttile Films
8. Spooks/MI-5
9. Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend -still together; Joe Wright and Rosamund Pike- not together (Weren’t they engaged?)
10. Rosamund Pike (Jane), Keira Knightley (Lizzy), Telulah Riley (Mary), Carey Mulligan (Kitty), Jena Malone (Lydia)
11. It just kind of happened, didn’t it? So, they decided to incorporate it into the scene?
12. Austen first wrote the book in 1797. Joe Wright also thought the fashion of the early 1800’s was not very flattering to the ladies, so they pushed the time back. (I think that’s how it went. Have to rewatch to make sure lol)
13. No
14. Dario Marianelli
15. It’s suspected that she was reading First Impression (P&P)
16. Jena Malone

I didn’t know that Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend were together. That’s cool. Sad that Joe Wright and Rosamund Pike broke up though.
