Why Keira Why?

I realise this post will only be relevant to lovers of Austen's Pride and Predjudice. But seriously..why does this movie (in the many remakes of it) always get such bad casting? Keira Knightly...the woman with the loong torso...but more importantly...that infernal, unsexy pout...is playing the main character of Elizabeth.

I can just imagine the never ending "nose-push-down-pout" expression that is going to drive me insane...it seems to be her 'convey any emotion' look. Does this drive anyone else nuts?

According to imdb.com there are EIGHT other versions of Pride and Prejudice (not to mention the P&P inspired Bridget Jone's Diary)...so WHY do we need another one? I love the book and hate the thought of Keira ruining it with her screechy voice and stupid pout.

I heard about them remaking this AGAIN - what a waste of time. God I hate her face - that pout drives me nuts

She really bugs me, and I dont even know why. I have never even seen any of her movies.

She makes me want to gauge my eyes out with a rusty hair pick.

I think everyone liked her in BLB - we didnt know what an annoying lil pouty shit she would become...

and no one will ever be able to do the 'wet t-shirt' scene as well as colin firth in my opinon...

haha andromea!!!I agree...I liked Colin as Mr Darcy although I have a friend that HATES that scene with a passion...says it ruins the whole movie...he's a guy though :)

Although I hate the main girl in the Firth version...(I thought she got it really wrong)...she's been the best Elizabeth so far...and that's saying something. I don't know who told Keira that the pout thing she does is sexy...she's really got to stop it...glad to see I'm not alone!!!

I loved the 1995 version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. I think that this one is going to suck, Kiera cannot play Elizabeth. She should stick to soccar playing and pirate booty.

I just saw Pride and Prejudice in a preview in Hamburg. Keira was there looking wonderful! So georgious! The Movie was fantastic! I've never seen any of the 'Pride and Predjudice' movies, but this was a great one for everybody thal like love and humour:)
